TA Delivers 30% LTL Cost Savings and 99% Routing Accuracy with SMC3
Integrated rating, routing, and transit intelligence drives measurable cost savings, accuracy, and reliability across managed transportation operations
MANSFIELD, Texas - (January 20, 2026) - TA, a leading managed transportation and logistics provider, and SMC³, the industry's central hub for less-than-truckload (“LTL”) technology and data, are highlighting the results of a longstanding partnership that has strengthened LTL rating, routing, and visibility across TA’s operations.
Together, TA and SMC³ have built a scalable, data-driven LTL foundation - engineered for accuracy, efficiency, and consistent execution as freight networks grow more complex.
As TA expanded its LTL footprint, the company encountered growing complexity in traditional rating and routing processes, introducing visibility gaps, interlining risk, and less predictable outcomes for shippers.
To drive consistency at scale, TA adapted an enterprise-grade LTL platform built for repeatable precision, reliability, and seamless integration.
“Our goal was to utilize technology that creates a seamless, people-first experience for our customers while giving our teams the information, precision, and reliability needed to deliver peak performance every day,” said Mike Teresinski, EVP of operations, managed transportation and cross border at TA.
TA overcame LTL challenges by standardizing operations with SMC³'s platform, integrating its tools into planning, pricing, and analytics. The partnership leverages SMC³’s comprehensive solution suite, which provides a single, authoritative source of truth for rating, routing, and transit intelligence.
The integrated foundation has reduced re-rates, improved delivery predictability, and eliminated interlining risk - helping TA deliver 30% LTL cost savings and 99% routing accuracy.
According to the published case study, the integrated LTL foundation has delivered measurable, repeatable results across TA’s network, including:
- 30% transportation cost reduction following a major network redesign.
- 8.3% portfolio savings through optimized rating and carrier selection.
- Up to 25% lane-level savings in select corridors.
- 99% routing accuracy across managed transportation.
- 90–95% accuracy across consolidated, multimodal shipments.
Shippers working with TA have experienced faster, more consistent quoting, improved visibility, and fewer exceptions across their supply chains. One customer, a senior global supply chain leader at a major golf retailer, noted that TA’s ability to optimize logistics and deliver customized visibility tools has driven meaningful improvements in day-to-day operations.
