St. Louis-based Sunset Transportation Participates in Logistics Podcast on Navigating the Complexities of Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Shipping
Steve Pandolfo, director of pricing at Sunset Transportation explores the complexities of LTL shipping and pricing with Logistics Viewpoints.
St. Louis, MO, May 16, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Steve Pandolfo, director of pricing at third-party logistics (3PL) company Sunset Transportation, explores the complexities of Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipping and pricing with Logistics Viewpoints’ Adrian Gonzalez. Pandolfo outlines key challenges that shippers face today and shares his expertise on LTL pricing models.
With many years of LTL shipping experience, Pandolfo offers insight on the realities of breaking down these complicated issues.
“LTL is pretty confusing to break down and try to rate because of all the different [factors] that go into getting that final [rate]. Every carrier has what is called a rules tariff, and those are how they break down the fees that [they] charge to shippers,” said Pandolfo in the podcast. “It’s important for shippers to know that all these charges are different for every carrier, because it’s not a [common] charge across the board, and those charges are increased, generally, on a year-by-year basis, so the [fee] you were charged in December could be completely different in January.”
