Penske Logistics Delivers New Guide to Dedicated Contract Carriage Services

Reading, Pa., October 9, 2018 – Penske Logistics introduced a new guide simplifying the process for shippers to evaluate dedicated contract carriage services. The handy and free 15-page publication serves as a how-to guide on selecting the right dedicated transportation partner.

According to the 2019 Third-Party Logistics Study (3PLStudy.com) domestic transportation is the top outsourced logistics activity shippers leverage to keep their supply chains moving forward. Recent volatility in the trucking freight market, rising costs, and a truck driver shortage have all accelerated interest among shippers as it relates to dedicated transportation arrangements.

"Shippers are shifting to dedicated transportation arrangements with third-party logistics providers as a way to control costs and shore up trucking capacity," explained Joe Carlier, Penske Logistics senior vice president of global sales. "Dedicated contract carriage arrangements lock in rates and guarantee trucking capacity for shippers regardless of freight market price volatility."
