The Defining Difference: FreightorGator and the LTL Process

FreightorGator is different.

We were tired of playing by the same rules as everybody else, so we decided to approach the LTL shipping process… differently. Same variables, new equation. We ended up with an answer: our online LTL freight exchange. We’ve built a tool to match shippers with carriers that has transformed the process of quoting and booking LTL freight. You’ll never look back once you apply FreightorGator to your shipping needs, but we’d like to explain the method to our madness and how our process works.

Handling orders, getting quotes, booking shipments—everything seems to be a process. The LTL shipping process has gone on the same way for decades. Whether you handle your own shipping or you’ve contracted with a Third Party Logistics Provider (3PL), shipping LTL freight is step-intensive. Getting your shipment to its final destination can feel like a minor miracle, but if you want to keep doing business, you’ll have to repeat that process.

That can get annoying (and expensive), so we took a fresh look at the process. Admittedly, booking LTL freight has certain unavoidable complexities that can make it difficult. Getting quotes on the other hand, doesn’t have to be. So, that’s where we started. The FreightorGator quoting process isn’t much of a process at all—you don’t need a phone or a wallet or your entire afternoon. Input minor shipment deals straight into the online portal and you’ll get a handful of the best quotes in the game. That’s it. Take it or leave it, but the quotes are yours to keep (you can now email the quotes to yourself or a customer). If you need help at any point, we have support standing by to live chat your way though any difficulties.

LTL quoting simply does not need to be a complicated process anymore. Our technology allows you to get the quotes you need and get on your way. If LTL is the backbone of your company logistics, look at FreightorGator as a tool. We don’t make you pay or jump through hoops to get quotes—we understand quotes may be an integral part of your business, so we deliver side-by-side comparisons of heavily discounted quotes from top carriers. Rethink your strategy: you no longer need to spend any time or money getting LTL quotes. We’ve taken care of that part of the process, so lets move on.

If you rely on a third-party to match you up with a carrier, you should know what it’s going to cost. Most 3PLs and other online booking sites take a percentage of the shipping rate for their services. Problem with that is, you don’t know exactly what you’re paying for that service until your shipment is delivered. Furthermore, you shouldn’t feel like your being financially penalized for having an expensive shipment to begin with—it takes the same amount of work to arrange a large shipment as a small one. That’s why we charge a totally flat booking fee. No matter what your shipment costs, you’ll always be able to rely on the same booking fee.

We’re different, remember? Well, we’re big on that. But, we understand it can take some getting used to. In an industry marked by its minimal progress over the last 20 years, FreightorGator may seem like a bit of an outlier. We took a different approach to a traditional process and created an effective logistics tool for LTL shippers nationwide. Check it out and see for yourself.
