CASE STUDY
One Provider, Full Control
A major Alaska distributor struggled with high landed costs and limited visibility because suppliers relied on costly national carriers. Span Alaska created a consolidated routing plan using our Chicago hub to collect shipments from the Midwest, East Coast, and Southeast and move them at LTL pricing with truckload speed. Both the distributor and its Lower 48 supplier now benefit from one coordinated provider, accurate tracking, consistent transit, and a high-quality, damage-free delivery experience.
