AFN Logistics Acquires Less Than Truckload Company

AFN Logistics, which provides supply chain solutions to major manufacturers, top-20 retailers and carriers in the U.S., has acquired Columbus, Ohio-based HA Advantage, the Transportation Management System (TMS) and LTL division of HA Logistics.

HA Advantage is a leading TMS and LTL freight management company. The proprietary TMS developed by HA Advantage is, according to the company, “a scalable, web-based, mobile-optimized solution that enables smarter, faster transportation decisions.”

The context is compelling. eCommerce comprises 10-20% of deliveries in the $35 billion LTL trucking industry segment. LTLs transport loads from several customers in a single truck.
What’s new is that retailers are beginning to push smaller, more frequent loads into distribution centers and through their networks to keep pace with eCommerce demands, requiring LTL optimization.
