How Every Shipper Can Benefit from Flexible Drop-and-Hook

Timezone: EDT

Start: 07/08/2021 02:00 PM End: 07/08/2021 03:00 PM EDT

Event Description

Today, the majority of US Fortune 500 shipments are sent through preloaded drop trailers. If they could, many shippers would move 100% of their loads as drop to benefit from its efficiency, foregoing live loads altogether.

Unfortunately, shippers can't move all their loads this way because there is a BIG problem with drop. Despite its efficiency on established lanes with predictable volume, traditional drop is highly inflexible, making it all but impossible to react to rapid changes in demand.


Convoy solved this problem with the launch of the industry's first automated drop-and-hook service for backup, spot, and primary freight, offering shippers quality, nationwide drop capacity across their routing guides.

Join Convoy's Ari Bixhorn and Mikey Abboud for this 30-minute webinar to learn about:

  • Traditional drop's big problem and how you can overcome it
  • The concept of a flexible drop service and how it empowers shippers to flex to cover any surges
  • How shippers can save an average of 9% of their transportation budget
  • How Convoy uses innovative technology to make this all happen

Even if you can't make this time, you can still register and we'll send you a link to the recorded version.
