This month we're celebrating a big milestone Donna Lewis, our Client Relations & Analysis Manager, is hitting 5 years with TLI!

Over the past five years, Donna has been a steady, trusted voice for our clients, digging into the data, untangling the tough questions, and making sure every account gets the attention it deserves. Her dedication to getting it right (and her care for the people she works with) is a big part of what makes TLI, TLI.

Thank you, Donna, for five years of hard work, sharp thinking, and genuine care for our clients. Here's to many more!

👏 Join us in congratulating Donna in the comments!

Do you know the freight density of what you’re sending?

Getting it wrong is one of the most common (and costly) reasons for reclassification and surprise charges on your freight bill.

It’s one of the small things that makes a big difference, and it’s exactly why we built a density calculator right into ViewPoint, our TMS.

No separate tool to track down, no guesswork. Just enter your dimensions and weight while you’re already quoting or booking, and get an accurate density and class estimate on the spot.

A Little Automation Goes a Long Way

One of our clients, a building products manufacturer, had a small team spending most of their day on manual shipment entry. Time that could've gone toward bigger-picture work.

We helped simplify that process, so shipments get booked automatically and the team can focus on what matters most.

Quick one for anyone booking LTL freight: most shipment delays and surprise fees trace back to one of the same 5 questions not getting answered before pickup.

Tim breaks it down in under a minute:
Commercial or residential address?
Dock or ground delivery?
Liftgate needed?
Are the dimensions and weight accurate?
Anything Hazmat?

Answer these upfront and you'll avoid the headaches (and the extra charges) that come from finding out the hard way. Full video here:

Diesel prices just hit an all-time high: $6.50 a gallon nationally this week. That's up from $6.20 just last week, and nearly double what it was a year ago.

If you ship freight, you've probably felt this one already. Even when base rates come down, fuel surcharges can quietly eat up those savings.
The good news is there are ways to get ahead of it instead of just absorbing the hit: locking in your rates through a competitive bidding process, and setting up a custom fuel table so swings like this don't catch you off guard.
