The Mid-Market Problem 01

If you are shipping 50–300 LTL/FTL loads per month, you are stuck in a pricing dead zone: too small for carrier-direct contracts, too large to accept rack rates. You pay 8–10% more on base rates than wholesale-volume brokers, absorb the 30–40% of LTL invoices that contain billing errors (Cass Information Systems), lose 2–3% of freight value to claims that never get filed correctly, and burn 40+ hours of internal ops time per 100 loads on tracking, disputes, and reconciliation.

GLT Logistics was built specifically to fix this for mid-market shippers. 22+ years of operations, aggregated wholesale volume that unlocks tier-1 carrier pricing, a dedicated inland ops team that absorbs your tracking and claims workload, and a quote-to-bill standard with zero variance. Below: drag the sliders and see exactly what working with GLT recovers — line by line.

02 / The Interactive Calculator

Five ways GLT recovers cost for mid-market shippers.

Drag the sliders or type your numbers directly. Every value recalculates in real time — base rate, invoice accuracy, claims, ops time, and service reliability — using verified GLT benchmarks, not industry averages. The donut chart and contribution bars show where your biggest opportunity is.
