HOW IT WORKS
 
USCS customers place orders for products to be shipped via EDI, eUSCOLD.com, fax, or by contacting a USCS Customer Service Representative. Many of the orders that are placed are too small to fill a truck in terms of weight and/or cube; these are termed less than truckload, or LTL orders. Because LTL orders do not fill a truck, the rate charged per cwt is very high and the cost to ship the order is very inefficient. The USCS PDQ Program exists to minimize such inefficiencies. Our Transportation Management System (TMS) consolidates LTL orders into truckload shipments which offer better rates per cwt. Building smarter, more efficient pools is our goal and allows us to pass transportation cost savings on to our customers.
