LTL shipping for ecomm brands

Written by The Charm Team | Jun 12, 2025 7:32:18 PM

As rising tariffs and global trade disruptions reshape supply chains, ecommerce brands are turning to LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping as a flexible, cost-effective logistics solution.  Here's what you need to know:

  • New U.S. tariffs on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico are prompting ecommerce brands to reshore operations and seek domestic transportation alternatives.

  • LTL allows businesses to share truck space, making it ideal for smaller loads and reducing freight costs without sacrificing delivery reliability.

  • Unlike legacy systems, digital-first LTL providers offer real-time tracking, automated scheduling, and faster, optimized routing, improving transparency and customer satisfaction.

  • The most effective LTL partners offer nationwide coverage, transparent pricing, scalable networks, and sustainable freight strategies that align with growth and ESG goals.

  • With enhanced visibility and efficiency, LTL shipping enables businesses to mitigate disruptions, control costs, and position themselves for long-term success in a shifting global trade landscape.
