Why MWL?

In a word: Efficiency

Our customers choose MWL because our unique business model facilitates operational efficiency and creates procurement efficiency. Our model is truly different than other transportation/logistics providers.

What Differentiates MWL from Brokerages & Other Logistics companies?

Its "Asset-Based Platform".

Unlike brokerages and other logistics companies, MWL operates on an Asset-Based Platform. What does that mean? It means that MWL's capacity in your company's network is operationally identical to the capacity of an asset-based carrier. Like asset-based carriers, MWL drops trailers, and utilizes the same pool of equipment and drivers to move your loads. You award loads to MWL, "and--unlike" with brokerages and other logistics companies--we begin placing the required number of trailers in your trailer pool. Ultimately, MWL, from an operational and procurement perspective (unlike brokerages and other logistics companies)...

• Facilitates operational efficiency at the ship-site's loading dock (i.e., the product is cross-docked, or comes off your production lines, and goes onto MWL's drop trailers until ready for pick-up). Our loads never become "staged freight" (sitting on the floor of the ship-site), and thus never create congestion at the dock door while you wait for our truck to show up for a 'live load'.
• Increases procurement efficiency (and lowers overall costs) by providing multi-modal capacity on its Asset-Based Platform. This allows our customers to buy more capacity across more modes of transportation from MWL than any competing source. Thus, less time/money is spent on the various aspects of managing multiple carrier relationships. One relationship (MWL) provides access to large quantities of capacity (either drop-trailer or live load, and either over-the-road or intermodal) in the dryvan, temp-controlled, or bulk/tanker modes.
• Achieves reliability numbers (e.g., on-time percentage, capacity commitment compliance percentage, EDI compliance, etc.) that exceed the customer's expectations.
• Offers a "capacity safety net" for our customers with 'live load only' operations. When brokerages and other logistics companies "cannot find a truck", MWL can grab one off of our Asset-Based Platform (just like an asset-based carrier).
