Echo Has the Right Shipping Solution to Suit Your Needs
Truckload
Our experienced truckload experts leverage our size, scale, and network of over 50,000 carriers to bring you access to unmatched capacity at competitive rates. Regardless of season or spikes, we have the capacity to get your freight where it needs to go. Save time and focus on strategic activities as our full truckload experts handle every step of the sourcing, tendering, and billing process. Quote, book, ship, track, and manage invoices, all in one place with our EchoShip web portal for shippers, providing you instant access to our full network of truckload capacity 24/7, 365 days a year.
Less Than Truckload (LTL)
As one of the largest 3PLs in North America, we leverage strong relationships with over 120 top volume LTL carriers nationwide and over 700 million dollars in buying power to offer optimal pricing programs with the top carriers in the world. Additionally, our proprietary technology, EchoShip, is an innovative self-service web portal that offers access to our entire network of LTL capacity and enables you to quote, book, ship, track, and manage invoices, all in one place.
Temperature-Controlled LTL
Echo’s acquisition of Roadtex provides access to temperature-controlled LTL solutions year-round. Our increased temperature-controlled capacity means you have the flexibility and exclusivity you need, and our temperature-controlling technology ensures your freight stays in optimal condition throughout the shipment process.
Partial Truckload (PTL)
Pay only for the space you need with Echo's flexible partial shipment option. If your freight is too big for an LTL shipment but too small for a full truckload shipment, then partial truckload is the right transportation option for you. With one of the industry's largest partial truckload sourcing teams dedicated to finding unique capacity, we are a preferred provider for partial truckload shipping with access to over 7,500 partial truckload carriers and consolidators.
Intermodal
If you ship freight long distances and are looking for cost savings for your transportation, intermodal shipping is a great option to meet your needs. Our vast transportation network includes longstanding contracts with the largest rail carriers and drayage partners across North America, giving you access to capacity and the best rates. Not only does shipping intermodal provide bottom-line savings by reducing fuel spending, moving freight by rail reduces CO2 emissions compared to truckload.
