In our recent webinar on Holiday Freight Planning, Amber Miller, Vice President of LTL at FreightPlus tackled a crucial question: What proactive strategies can be used to manage #LTL capacity during peak seasons? “We're going to rely heavily on historic data and demand forecasting. By analyzing some of the trends from the most recent years, we can actually anticipate when and where the demand will spike and plan capacity accordingly. This includes working closely with our carriers to secure additional space in advance, especially in some of the critical lanes for our shippers.” Catch the full webinar here: https://lnkd.in/ehE3mHeV
