AirTerra, a parcel shipping company, announced it has added two last-mile distribution companies, CDL Last Mile Solutions and AxleHire, to its double-digit list of carrier partners.
Filling an industry gap in simplified access to carrier diversity, AirTerra aggregates packages from multiple shippers through its own network in major metropolitan areas. The company’s new partnerships with CDL Last Mile Solutions and AxleHire will provide additional last-mile capabilities to AirTerra’s “point-to-point” network, which is designed to ship parcels across long zones faster and with a greater degree of control and efficiency than what is offered through legacy carriers.
AirTerra’s objective is to provide a significant amount of diverse final-mile capacity without the inherent cost and complexity of managing multiple carriers. Mid- to enterprise-level retailers, manufacturers and distribution companies will be able to deliver packages faster, and with greater reliability, at a lower cost. The end result is a reduced click-to-deliver time for shippers (and customers), along with lower costs and fewer management touch points for those deliveries.
“As industry veterans, we are meeting the moment by leveraging a rapidly changing dynamic in the parcel shipping industry to develop simple solutions for brands seeking to cut costs, improve speed and accuracy and achieve greater transparency through carrier diversity,” says Brent Beabout, founder and president of AirTerra. “Our goal in providing predictable pricing, full visibility and flexibility is to deliver for retailers of all sizes by leveling the playing field. Partnering with CDL Last Mile and AxleHire allows us to continue to build our national network and bolster our last-mile capabilities to support our customers in e-commerce and B2B fulfillment.”
