During the past 15 years LTL, truckload, and parcel carriers have gone through a dramatic shift. For example, LTL carriers that dominated the market during the 80’s and 90’s are no longer in business.

These changes continue to be rapid with new products and services being introduced into the market. Regional carriers, as well as long haul carriers, continue to expand their coverage and services. It is not uncommon for a parcel carrier to offer LTL services today or for truckload carriers to offer pooled distribution services.

It is in this environment that Marleon thrives by helping companies make the right transportation decisions regarding business needs, operational efficiencies, and the bottom line.
