In fact, more than 80% of companies outsource some — if not all — of their domestic shipping!¹

If you’re wondering if your business could benefit from working with a 3PL provider, then it’s time to download our free e-guide, which covers the top reasons to consider partnering with a 3PL — and if it’s time for your company to make the switch.

In our e-guide, we ask a five questions to gauge if a 3PL could benefit your business shipping. To learn if outsourcing logistics is truly right for your company’s needs, ask yourself these questions:

1. Are my business shipping rates consistently overpriced?
2. Do I lack the time and energy to manage my own shipping?
3. Do I have trouble getting my shipments on the truck?
4. Do I wish I had access to better shipping automation technology?
5. Could I use an expert’s help to better optimize my shipping logistics?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it might be time to partner with Worldwide Express (WWEX).
