As the Director of Talent Management, I enjoy sharing with future team members the incredible opportunities available at Trinity for women to thrive and succeed. I’m proud to be part of Team Trinity.”

In my own journey here, I’ve seen firsthand how our culture of collaboration and growth makes a real difference. The opportunities for leadership development, mentorship, and professional growth have shaped my career and allowed me to contribute in meaningful ways. It’s inspiring to see the impact women have across our company and I’m proud to be part of a Team that champions opportunity for all.”

“We’re incredibly honored to receive this award for a 6th year!” said Sarah Ruffcorn, President of Trinity Logistics. “This achievement reflects our amazing Team that continues to live and create a culture in which anyone can thrive.

Trinity Logistics, a prominent third-party logistics (3PL) provider, has teamed up with Truck Parking Club to offer discounted parking options for Carriers within its network.

Carriers must be registered and set up with Trinity Logistics to take advantage of this new benefit.

Carriers who decide to capitalize on the for discount for Truck Parking Club will be able to: 

• Book a daily parking location. Some locations may also offer hourly, weekly and monthly rates.  

• Search for and book parking using an interactive map that displays all available locations across the U.S. 

• Search for and book parking when planning a route or by finding a parking spot near a specific location.  

• View parking location information, including daily costs and available spaces, as well as amenities such as restrooms, 24/7 access, etc., and contact 27/7/365 customer support (staffed by former drivers) to ask any questions. 

“Truck Parking Club was created to help truckers save time and fuel by finding and instantly reserving truck parking across the US,” said Evan Shelley, CEO at Truck Parking Club. “Our solution brings more truck parking online quickly by enabling owners to list space on their existing yards and properties. Our trucker members, and now Trinity Logistics carriers, are then able to quickly search and reserve available truck parking spaces, allowing them to plan a trip with confidence knowing they have a parking space. We are excited to partner with Trinity Logistics, as we think our solution is a great value add to their carrier partners.”

Most of us over the age of 25 can remember when the World Wide Web made its debut. We remember the “beep-boop” sound of dial-up and the big chunky computers that were as wide as a television set in the 1990’s. It’s been almost 30 years since the dawn of the Internet. It’s mystifying to look at the impact it still has on our everyday lives. Because of the Internet, e-commerce was born, and the need for flatbed shipping has increased. 

The Beginning of ECommerce

Over time, ecommerce has taken the baton from traditional brick-and-mortar stores, leaving many big-box store retailers high and dry. Since Amazon Prime’s arrival in 2005, online shopping has exploded in the marketplace. The ease and convenience of it have forced many retailers to develop a strong online presence or risk closing their doors for good.

COVID-19 Creates Rapid Growth

Due to health concerns and social distancing practices, COVID-19 rapidly escalated the use of ecommerce. Total online spending in May 2020 was up 77 percent year-over-year (YOY), according to a report on online spending released in June by Adobe. In that report, Vivek Pandya, Adobe’s Digital Insights Manager, states that it would have typically taken 4-6 years to see the level of growth in online shopping that was seen then. Contactless online ordering helped individuals attempt to limit their exposure to the virus by shopping from home, so it’s easy to see why those reported numbers were so high. 

Since the pandemic, the changes in the ways consumers shop have remained. While in-person shopping has increased compared to then, it still lacks in the amount of foot traffic that was received previously. Consumers continue to like the ease of online shopping, and with fewer in-person shoppers, companies are investing less in their brick-and-mortar locations, which has only made people less likely to want to shop in person. In fact, it’s estimated that 40,000 to 50,000 retail stores will close in the next five years, according to the UBS investment bank.

Ecommerce continues to experience growth, with 22 percent of retail sales being online in 2023, the largest U.S. ecommerce sales percentage to date, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. As e-commerce growth carries on, it’s created a growing need for companies to expand their inventory and improve their ability to distribute their products. What used to be a problem of “too much” storage space for companies before the pandemic has quickly turned into a necessity in today’s time. 

The Need for Storage Space

As online distributors continue to see growth, their need for storage space has grown as well. Prior to Covid-19, one or two warehouses could keep a medium-sized company running efficiently. Now, more space is needed to keep up with the increasing demand of companies. Having more than one distribution center can be a huge benefit to a company’s ability to stay successful these days.

This all trickles down to the construction industry. As demand grows for new or renovated warehousing, the need for building materials to meet that demand has also increased.

How ECommerce Growth Affects Flatbed Shipping

Flatbed shipping has always been a leading mode of transportation for industrial freight. Lumber, stone, racking, and other building materials travel best on an open trailer due to their odd dimensions and additional weight requirements.

Looking for an extensive guide to keep on hand for your over-dimensional shipping?

Usually, flatbed shipping sees an increase in volume in the summer months. Construction companies take advantage of the warmer weather, which is most suitable for outdoor construction work. During this peak shipping flatbed season, it’s not unusual to see tightened capacity and higher freight rates, but any added demand for warehousing can add to that, making securing a flatbed carrier more difficult.

Strong Relationships Help

Having a relationship with a third-party logistics company (3PL can be a benefit to those who coordinate freight to be delivered to a job site. Typically, job site freight is very hands-on and has a perpetual knack for being time-sensitive. Installation crews are on-site to receive and install the material scheduled to be delivered. Even the slightest delay can cause significant ramifications to the completion of the construction project. Having a strong relationship with a 3PL can help companies mitigate risk, reduce costs, and provide peace of mind to those who are coordinating the freight.

Be Ready for Anything

It appears online shopping is here for the long-haul and whether it’s causing you to expand your warehousing or not a 3PL like Trinity Logistics can help you be prepared for any changes that may come your way. With Trinity, you’ll gain a Team of experts that can help you optimize your supply chain and arrange shipping for various of transportation modes, including flatbed, while offering end-to-end visibility of your shipments. No matter what changes the future brings, you can stay one step ahead when you choose to have Trinity Logistics by your side.

After several record setting years, 2023 saw shifts to the freight market. How did the 2023 freight market affect shipper and carrier businesses? Did other businesses have the same struggles as yours? Are they expecting to face similar difficulties in 2024? How are their partner relationships? 

Trinity Logistics wanted to get answers to these questions for you, so we asked a random sample of our shipper and carrier relationships to gauge the effect 2023 had on their business and what their expectations for 2024 in our first Freight Market Survey. Here’s what we found out:

2023 SHipper & Carrier Data: Freight Market Survey Results

Past Challenges – Same, But Different

Considering the recent turndown of demand and the freight market, it’s not a big surprise that money was the biggest issue for shippers and carriers alike. Shippers answered that transportation costs were their biggest challenge in 2023, with supply chain delays/disruption and capacity not far behind. Low rates and increasing operating costs were the main challenges facing carriers. 

Business Impact – Could Have Been Better

Even with the change in consumer demand trending downwards throughout 2023, most shippers answered that their year was good overall. Carriers on the other hand seemed to face a rougher year in business with over half of them stating their year could have been better or was poor. 

A LOOK INTO 2024

Future Challenges – Money Problems

2024 isn’t looking much different in terms of challenges compared to 2023. Shippers look to have the same financial challenges as they did in 2023 with transportation costs, supply chain delays/disruption, and decreased demand being the top concerns selected. Carriers are still concerned about low rates, operating costs, and low freight volumes hurting their businesses. 

Hot Trends

Even though transportation costs are shippers’ strongest concerns in their previous answers, it seems the increased amount of supply chain disruptions and delays we’ve all experienced in these recent years have hit a nerve, with the majority answering that supply chain resilience is the trend their business is most interested in. Cybersecurity also looks to be a growing interest.

Carriers on the other hand, interestingly enough, look to the recent trend of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Also, as noted in the comment boxes of our “Other” option, increased rates and better fuel prices were trends they’d like to see in 2024. 

Load Volumes & Capacity – Slightly Positive Outlook

Overall, shippers are slightly more optimistic for 2024, thinking it won’t bring any change or the change it brings will be positive. Most think load volumes will stay the same or there will be a little more in freight volumes this year. As for truck capacity, they think it will be the same as 2023 or slightly tighter. 

Carriers also think 2024 will bring more freight volumes and that capacity will likely stay the same or get tighten slightly versus 2023.  

Spot or Contract?

Year-over-year, shippers aren’t looking to change much in terms of which market they turn to. Most look to continue to put most of their freight on the spot market.

For carriers, there looks to be some change anticipated. In 2023, most carriers ran spot market freight but in 2024, over half of them look to haul contracted freight. 

Do Shippers Have a TMS?

It’s 2024, so you’d think most shippers would have a transportation management system (TMS), and no surprise, they do. For those that don’t and answered, it seems they did not have a good experience with one in the past or don’t know enough about them. 

Brokers Are the Way to Go

When asked how they like to move their shipments, most shippers use a mix of carriers and third-party logistics providers (3PLs) or just 3PLs. A few do use their own trucks. For those that do outsource to 3PLs, they usually just stick to one provider.

Shippers most often look to a 3PL for help with their everyday shipments, for transportation management, visibility, and access to their capacity. The main reason shippers choose not to work a 3PL for their logistics? They don’t like the risk. 

Transportation Modes – Staying Consistent

Overall, shippers aren’t looking to change what transportation modes they use for their shipments. Truckload and less-than-truckload (LTL) are the primary modes they like to use, with a little diversification sprinkled in.

Exceptional Service Stands the Test of Time

When it comes to their logistics partners, shippers find the most value in receiving exceptional service, with costs coming in as a close second. 

Most Wanted: Long Mileage, Flatbed Shipments

When it comes to mileage, most carrier companies tend to run long-hauls or a mix of short and long shipments. Flatbed hauls are the type of shipments most carriers like to haul with dry van coming in as a close second. 

Load Boards are the Way

With 74 percent selecting this option, load boards are the norm for carriers to find available shipments. Sometimes they use their shipper relationships, and occasionally they make use of a 3PL. 

3PLs – Expanding a Carrier’s Reach

Carriers most often look to a 3PL for help with gaining access to available shipments that they wouldn’t have otherwise. Covering backhauls are another big reason carriers reach out to a 3PL. 

For those that choose to not work with a 3PL, it’s often because of money; rates not being high enough. Surprisingly in the comments, many are not familiar with what a 3PL or freight broker is as well.  

When it comes to measuring value in their 3PL partners, most carriers want good rates and great communication.

Fraud Concerns Growing

Fraud and scams have been growing in the industry, so we wanted to know what carriers think about it. Carriers are most worried about double and triple brokering affecting their businesses compared to concerns of identity theft or cargo theft. 

Trinity Logistics, a leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider, is proud to share that the company has received a bronze sustainability rating by EcoVadis. 

EcoVadis is a trusted and globally recognized provider of business sustainability ratings and insights. Over 1,000 enterprises rely on EcoVadis to assess and manage sustainability practices within their supply chain. EcoVadis measures the sustainability management system of a company through 21 criteria focused on its four key performance areas of Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainability Procurement.

The assessment includes a questionnaire completed by the company assessed and an expert analysis by EcoVadis. A bronze rating is given to companies that place within the top 50 percent of all companies assessed. In addition, the company must meet the following requirements:

• Cannot operate in the manufacturing of tobacco products, weapons, ammunition, or the mining of coal and lignite
• Cannot have any severe findings
• Cannot have one or more major findings in two or more performance areas
• Cannot have five major findings in any single performance area
• Cannot have 25 minor findings in any single performance area
• Cannot have two or more performance areas with at least five minor findings in each

“The rigorous EcoVadis assessment called for documented proof of processes, actions taken, and additional forms of backup to score Trinity Logistics’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles,” said Kristin Deno, Director of Operation Risk at Trinity Logistics. “EcoVadis allows us to maintain a strict level of accountability to our Team Members, stakeholders, and the world at large. The scorecard shows where we sit currently, but more importantly, it provides an opportunity to highlight areas where we can continue and even expand efforts on our path to sustainability.”

Sustainability is something Trinity has always taken very seriously. Since 2008, Trinity Logistics has participated in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Smartway Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution that is caused by freight transportation. Trinity has also been partners with the American Chemistry Council’s Responsible Care® since 2009, which involves staying committed to improving company performance through community awareness, security, distribution, and pollution prevention. Additionally, Trinity recently became a Carbonfree Partner® with Carbon Fund to become “carbon-neutral” by donating funds to offset emissions. 

“We are honored to be awarded a bronze medal and be ranked among the top 50 percent of companies in sustainability by EcoVadis,” said Sarah Ruffcorn, President of Trinity Logistics. “Doing the right thing has always been foundational to Trinity’s culture, and that includes our part in sustainability. We know it is a never-ending journey of continuous improvement and we look forward to making even more progress as we work towards next year’s assessment.”
