Flock Freight: The enterprise shipper's guide to building a smarter truckload RFP

Every year, North American shippers spend billions of dollars on truckload freight that ships with empty space. Is your business one of them?

If your organization uses traditional TL RFPs, it might be.


Because the standard TL RFP process bases freight rates on a fixed-cost model (rather than load size), shippers pay for more space than their freight needs and trucks move half-empty. This makes no sense, especially when there's another option.

Flock Freight's alternative to TL RFPs is Instant Prebate.

Flock Freight's Instant Prebate program accounts for load size and gives you a discount on your TL rate every time your freight doesn't fill a trailer all the way. By moving TL shipments with shared truckload service, Flock Freight prevents shippers from paying to ship air and keeps trucks full.

Optimizing Total Cost of Ownership: TPPL vs Li-ion

Optimizing Total Cost of Ownership: TPPL vs Li-ion

As motive power technology advances and options proliferate for Material Handling Equipment (MHI), decision makers may feel overwhelmed choosing from several different battery types that may suit a warehouse or distribution operation's needs. Many operations find that they are choosing between a TPPL and a Li-ion option for their MHE batteries. Getting the best Total Cost of Operation (TCO) depends on an understanding of first, the usage model, and second, which technology best fits the way MHE is used. In this white paper, you will learn about the different kind of lead acid batteries and Li-ion batteries, and how to determine which has the best TCO for your usage.

Boosting Whiskey Storage & Production Through Cutting-Edge Automation

Boosting Whiskey Storage & Production Through Cutting-Edge Automation

To meet rising demand for whiskey, a distiller needed to expand production capacity while improving safety and adapting to labor shortages. Their traditional, manual racking system couldn't support growth and posed safety risks, especially with employees sampling barrels at elevated levels.

Muratec proposed a custom, rack-supported building (RSB) with a high-density storage and Goods-to-Person (G2P) system, where barrels are delivered directly to operators. The custom system included a load handler for safer barrel sampling, 2-deep storage, and integrated cameras for remote inspections. The ASRS enabled barrel shuffling to manage environmental conditions, while HVAC stabilized temperature and humidity, with seismic dampening for earthquake protection.
