ABF introduces global expedited LCL/LTL service

Arkansas Best Freight (ABF) has introduced a new service offering ocean LTL freight transport. The single-contact, expedited less-than-container-load/less-than-truckload (LCL/LTL) supply chain solution is designed for customers who import from manufacturing centers in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The service will combine ABF’s Dual-System network with ABF acting as non-vessel owning carrier (NVOC). According to Roy Slagle, ABF senior vice president of sales and marketing, "Our new Ocean LTL service is a great compliment to our already successful FCL (full-container-load) business, which has been around since 2006."

A service offered through ABF Global Supply Chain Services division, Ocean LTL features guaranteed weekly departures on a fixed schedule, which enables ABF to expedite shipments up to 40% faster than traditional LCL sources. Long-term planning is enhanced by advanced scheduling for consolidation and departures. In transit, virtual warehousing and dynamic rerouting enable on-the-water inventory allocation and order fulfillment directly from the container to the end-user or multiple delivery locations.
