KEY CHALLENGE

Inconsistent and costly deliveries when shipping over-sized freight

This customer came to Lanter® due to dissatisfaction with their current logistics provider, where they were experiencing consistently delayed transit times and exorbitant costs when transporting oversized and overweight parts to dealerships across the country.

The continued issues were not only putting a strain on the relationships with their dealers, but the costs to move oversized freight were significantly increasing their operating costs and eating into their margins.

OUR SOLUTION

Rolled out our Scheduled LTL Delivery Solution, providing dealers with consistent, on-time deliveries

RESULTS

By switching to our Scheduled LTL service, this customer significantly reduced transit times and costs related to oversized and overweight shipments.

As an existing Overnight Unattended Delivery customer, Lanter was able to leverage its established network to incorporate oversized freight into nightly pickups. These shipments were routed through our cross-dock network and staged near the final dealership destination. Because the freight was too large for overnight delivery, Lanter’s fleet provided daytime Scheduled LTL service, enabling faster, more predictable delivery to dealerships. This improved dealer satisfaction and streamlined overall operations.

With Lanter’s support, the customer also eliminated the need to manage multiple LTL carriers, increasing efficiency and ensuring compliance with stock order timelines

Key BenEfits

  • Accelerated delivery timelines where orders are consistently delivered in two days or less
  • Improved dealer experience with more predictable, cost-effective delivery windows
  • Reduced carrier complexity by replacing multiple LTL vendors with a single partner
  • Lower operating costs for over-sized and overweight parts delivery
  • Improved dealer and customer satisfaction at more than 1,500 dealerships
