Reduce transit time using hub and spoke networks

A network of facilities known as a "hub and spoke" enables truckload freight to travel great distances with a single driver. To increase efficiency and cut costs, numerous customers share tractors. Usually, hubs are placed 300 miles or less apart from one another. Drivers exchange trailers at a midpoint before heading back to the hubs from which they originally started. This enables them to travel back home every day while the freight continues to be transported to its destination.
