Surcharges from the biggest carriers are blowing up shippers' budgets 🔥 It's not just because they are substantial (they are), but because they come without warning. Fuel surcharges. Peak surcharges. Delivery area surcharges. ➡️ A recent statement by Shipware said that these fees now account for 35-40% of parcel shipping costs, up from 25% just a few years ago. ✊🏼 Shippers need reliability in budgets and service. 👉🏼 Ask us about our transparent pricing and how we can help you find the most cost-effective solutions. https://lnkd.in/dQPWAKxV #BetterTrucks #Logistics #Surcharges #Carriers #LastMile

What an incredible 3 days at the PARCEL Forum (The #1 Package Fulfillment Event in the U.S.) in Dallas! 🙌🏼 It was a great opportunity for Better Trucks to enhance existing relationships, as well as forge new ones. ➡️ We really benefited from hearing everyone’s perspective on how the USPS changes affect the market, as well as strategies for managing returns more effectively, which was one of the core topics. ➡️ It was great to be a representative of some of the biggest trends in the industry – like cross-border shipping and multi-carrier adoption – as we move into peak season. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth! 😉 Really looking forward to the next event! 🔥 🔥 #PARCEL24DALLAS #ParcelForum #BetterTrucks #Dallas #Event #LastMile #Logistics
