What freight is middle mile transportation meant for?
Middle mile transportation accounts for any gaps in end-to-end delivery service, particularly for middle mile delivery and last mile transport. Geared for general global freight forwarding, RXO middle mile infrastructure for domestic loads has been specifically designed to transport:
- Dropship from distribution, direct from vendor with install certification
- Specialized less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments
- Ecommerce delivery & reverse logistics
- Consigned & palletized freight
- Managed cross docking
What does middle mile infrastructure not accommodate?
Middle mile delivery services are meant to bridge the gap between shippers and partnered solutions amongst the RXO North American transportation network. However, not all global freight is best suited for middle mile infrastructure. Mid-mile services will not accommodate:
- Set delivery time requirements (meeting technicians)
- Freight under 75 lbs. (some exceptions)
- Providing breakdown of equipment
- Forward stocking and storage
- Non-palletized freight
