CH Robinson launches a cross-border service aimed at optimizing LTL trailers and reducing the number of trucks needed.

C.H. Robinson Worldwide has introduced a freight consolidation service aimed at improving efficiency in cross-border supply chains, particularly for trucks moving from Mexico to the U.S. These trucks often carry minimal loads due to regulatory constraints that require a single customs broker for all freight in a trailer. The new service seeks to optimize trailer usage and reduce travel distance by consolidating shipments at its Mexican center, utilizing real-time data for transportation logistics. This approach can save shippers up to 40% in costs and enhance visibility, while also leveraging bonded warehousing to defer or eliminate tariffs.
