Parcel carriers now limit the number of packages high- and medium-volume shippers – their best customers – can send each day (at an increased rate). No wonder scores of e-commerce retailers are aggressively exploring shipping alternatives, including integrating parcel with less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping.

The hybrid shipping solution is a sophisticated logistics strategy that can yield big rewards. The enabling technology behind it is called LPaaS, or logistics platform as a service. This playbook explores how LPaaS-powered LTL shipping can work to:

• Achieve your scale, cost, capacity, and distribution goals.
• Ease the burden of traditional approaches to last-mile delivery.
• Maintain package transparency and on-time performance without straining current IT staff and resources.
