Are you familiar with the last-mile problem? The final step in delivery often feels like the slowest. Your package is out for delivery, but it feels like it takes all day. There’s a problem with this final step in the shipping process, and it’s so common that it's simply called “the last-mile problem.” This final step usually takes a long time, it’s not cost-effective, and it’s where most hiccups occur. Open Road is one of the service providers working to remedy these types of challenges. Sometimes, your materials are nearby enough that delivery is not worth the headache, but you can’t waste the day getting them yourself. Our platform lets you ship your materials without waiting for freight or other inconsistent delivery methods.

Ever felt lost in the world of freight and shipping classifications? At Open Road, we specialize in LTL (less-than-truckload) shipments, perfect for loads under 10,000 pounds. Here's the scoop: LTL is cost-effective for small to medium businesses, ensuring efficient delivery without needing a full truck. Our shipping model is hotshot trucking–meaning there is no excessive handling, and the only thing in your shipment is your shipment. But freight class still matters because it's the key to determining shipping costs. But worry not! We set rates by size and distance, eliminating the stress of choosing the wrong class. Read more about LTL shipping classes here: https://lnkd.in/gS2wqYAs #shipping #pickuptrucks #logistics #delivery #truckdriving #trucking #construction #building #constructiondelivery #gigeconomy #localshipping #smallbusiness #arizona #southwestv #freight #freightclass #ltl #hotshottrucking #ltlshipping

A common misconception in the logistics industry is the belief that you need to fill all the cargo space when shipping with a courier service. While this might seem like a practical approach, it's actually not necessary, and in many cases, it's not the most efficient or cost-effective choice. Understanding the range of transportation options available can help you make more informed decisions. For instance, we offer a variety of vehicles to suit different needs, all supported by a network of highly experienced couriers and drivers. These professionals are fully insured and capable of handling deliveries of all sizes, from small motorbikes for quick, local deliveries to 7.5-tonne trucks for larger loads. Selecting the appropriate vehicle depends on several factors, including the size and weight of your shipment, the required delivery speed, and the most efficient routes. For example, a small van might be sufficient for a single pallet weighing 300 kg, while a larger 7.5-tonne truck can handle up to 12 pallets. By carefully choosing the right vehicle, you can optimize costs and delivery times, sometimes achieving greater efficiency than initially expected. Before making your choice, I strongly recommend speaking with me or a member of my team. We can help you select the best option in terms of cost, efficiency, and routes. It might be more affordable or faster than you initially thought.
