Distressed Freight

Distressed Freight and Reverse Logistic should be one of the same; however it is not. There are millions of dollars in distressed freight on every LTL carrier's dock that this very moment. This is freight that is over, damaged and refused. This Freight can be refused due to: damage, undeliverable, bad address, cannot located the consignee, and a host of other reasons. The carriers have tried to contact the shippers and have not been successful with a disposition. After a certain period, this shipment is sent to salvage centers and sold. The proceeds will be used to pay for the freight charges and storage charges.
