March 28, 2018 at 5:50 pmWhat kind of freight forwarders are they talking about? Because I don’t think the likes of DHL or K&N are worried too much about picking up ad-hoc ocean LCL business. In fact, many forwaders don’t necessarily want “one-off” business. And most decision makers with any amount of volume aren’t going to make important freight decisions based off online quoting tools.
