ShippingThe Basics of LTL Freight Shipping
In the freight industry, LTL stands for "less-than-truckload." It is a widely-used method of transportation for smaller shipments that don't require the space of a full truckload. In an LTL shipment, several customers' loads are placed onto one truck, which helps reduce how much it costs to ship those products.
In fact, if your freight doesn't fill an entire trailer but weighs 150-15,000 lbs., LTL freight shipping in El Paso, TX, may be the most efficient, cost-conscious way to transport your products. That's because, in an LTL setup, you're only paying for the space your freight takes up. LTL shipping companies like RelyEx optimize LTL loads by choosing the most efficient routes at the best rates so your cargo gets to where it needs to go without any issues.
Business owners often choose LTL freight services in the following circumstances:
- When freight is dense, large, or bulky
- Freight exceeds a weight of 150 pounds
- Crated or palletized shipments
- When freight passes through distribution centers and local terminals
- When a cost-effective freight solution is needed
- When an entire tractor-trailer isn't needed for shipments
When it comes to LTL delivery options, there are a lot to choose from. But not every LTL broker is created equally. Some LTL companies do not have the tools or technology to track your shipments and optimize your routes. In worst-case scenarios, they may not be insured or reliable. If you're looking for an experienced LTL carrier that exceeds expectations with time-tested strategies and innovative technologies, look no further than RelyEx.

Why Use an LTL Company in El Paso, TX?
When your freight is too light for full truckloads but too heavy for basic parcel carriers like UPS, LTL shipping is a great option to consider. When you use an LTL shipping company like RelyEx, you get even more value. We've been over some of the basics associated with LTL freight shipping - now let's touch on some of the biggest benefits of using a company to handle logistics from start to finish.
Cost-Effective Option
One of the most common reasons clients use LTL services is because they're able to save money. LTL shipping is much less expensive than the alternative, which is to hire a private driver and truck. When you go in on LTL services with other shippers, you can have your products delivered at a fraction of the cost of going private. In this setup, you pay for space you use, not the space you don't use, which is common in full truckload freight shipping.
As an added benefit, relying on an LTL freight company like RelyEx can lower your warehouse costs since more shipments can be sent at a time. That means you don't have to wait weeks or even months for a trailer to fill up.
Flexibility
When you use a parcel carrier like FedEx, you can only ship up to 150 pounds at a time. That means you'd have to break down your shipment into separate boxes in order to ship. With LTL freight shipping, your packages can be palletized and shrink-wrapped so they're shipped in a single load.
Protection
At RelyEx, our team knows how important your shipment is, whether you're sending thousands of pounds of products or a single pallet. That's why we ensure your products are packaged correctly and have security protocols baked into every service we offer. Plus, by keeping your freight together, we decrease the chance of damaging your cargo, which pleases your clients and boosts your customers' satisfaction.
Eco-Friendly Efficiency
The magic of LTL shipping lies in the fact that we fill fewer trailers with more freight. Doing so reduces global emissions and makes the process much quicker. Imagine using a semi-truck to haul products that only fill a quarter of the trailer. It would waste money, time, and space that could be used for other products. With LTL shipping, you're protecting the environment and reducing the number of partially-filled trucks on the road. This, in turn, saves you money and makes you an eco-friendly company - something you can use as a selling point for your business.
Advanced Technology
LTL providers like RelyEx use advanced logistics technology to ensure your cargo arrives on time and without damage. By investing in technology like GlobalTranz, we save our clients from doing so themselves. With GlobalTranz, our clients gain access to robust tracking options like real-time freight locations, so you can monitor your shipment's progress. With GlobalTranz, you get more than just a way to book your LTL cargo — you benefit from our qualified network of carriers, expert logistics support, and leading technology features.
What is the Cost of LTL Shipping in El Paso, TX?
It's impossible to say exactly how much your LTL shipping may cost because the NMFC, or National Motor Freight Classification, determines those prices. Using this standard, pricing is dictated for commodities moving in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce. Items are grouped into 18 different classes, based on four characteristics:
Liability
If you're shipping a product that is more likely to be damaged, stolen, or cause damage to other items, it may affect LTL shipment pricing.
Handling
Does your product require specific care or handling instructions? If so, you can probably expect higher prices.
Density
This factor accounts for how much space your item occupies in relation to its weight or the weight per cubic foot for each piece of freight you are shipping.
Stowability
How easy is it to load and transport your commodity? Can it be loaded and transported with other items?
When combined, these characteristics are used to establish an NMFC code for your LTL cargo. These codes are crucial, as they help your LTL carrier understand the challenges of shipping your products. If the item you need to ship has a high NMFC code, it's because it's more difficult to transport, which usually means it's more expensive to ship.
Popular Methods of Shipping LTL Freight in El Paso, TX
Depending on where and how often you ship LTL freight, your broker may choose a regional or national LTL carrier. Regional carriers often service a group of states within a region. National carriers have a larger footprint and can often eliminate the need to use several carriers for your shipments. RelyEx has the infrastructure and strategies for all of your LTL shipping - contact our office today to learn more about your options.
Though regional and national carriers are different, they often use similar models for shipping. Two of the most popular types of shipping methods include hub and spoke distribution and LTL consolidation.
What is Hub and Spoke LTL Freight Shipping?
In this traditional model, your shipments go through a network of warehouses, terminals, and hub facilities where your products are grouped with other shipments. Your freight then travels to local "spokes" (or terminals), where they are delivered. If you need to ship freight over short distances, this model may be a good choice to consider.
Some common benefits of the hub and spoke model include:
- Economical and efficient
- Improved pickup times
- More regular delivery times
- More visibility and easy tracking
What is Consolidated LTL Freight Shipping?
LTL consolidated shipping is a model where LTL carriers bring several shipments from different shippers to a final destination. Instead of using hubs and spokes along the shipping route to bundle freight and move cargo, LTL consolidation works by taking multiple shipments and turning them into a single truckload. This truck then makes multiple stops, where your products are delivered.
Some of the most common benefits of LTL consolidation include:
- Less freight handling
- Good for fragile or large freight
- Fewer claims
- Less cargo damage
- Cost-effective pricing
At RelyEx, our goal is to expertly manage the movement of your freight so you can focus on your core business. With more than 20 years of combined experience with LTL freight shipping in El Paso, TX, our team can select the most efficient and cost-effective model for your needs. That way, you can accomplish your day-to-day tasks while we handle the heavy lifting and any logistical challenges.
An LTL Shipping Partner You Can Trust
At RelyEx, we believe that trustworthy, comprehensive, and streamlined LTL shipping options are better for your business. And for us, what's better for your business is better for ours. That's why, when it comes to LTL shipping, we work tirelessly to ensure every aspect of your freight experience is embedded excellence. We take this unique approach because our management were once customers like you. They were people who, for one reason or another, had to deal with frustrating and often unsolved shipping and logistics challenges. Today, we take pride in solving those challenges and only partner with carriers who match our high standards.
If you're looking for an LTL company in El Paso, TX that prioritizes customer service, strong communication, and proactive thinking, we're here to help you avoid delayed shipments and missed expectations.

El Paso border shelters already 'overwhelmed' before the end of Title 42

EL PASO, TEXAS: Border shelters in El Paso, Texas are already being "overwhelmed" by the vast numbers of migrants they are facing, even before the end of Title 42 later this week, officials who work at the shelters tell Fox News Digital.
"It's just a very overwhelming volume that we're seeing right now. So I don't think it's that we have a problem with processing migrants. It's just migrants in this capacity, the systems being overwhelmed, the shelters are being overwhelmed. Travel is being overwhelmed," Nicole Reulet, director of marketing at the Rescue Mission of El Paso said.
El Paso has been one of the hardest hit areas of the border. This week, officials launched a "targeted enforcement operation" after there were over 2,000 migrants camped out on the streets.
It's reflective of a situation border-wide, where sectors have seen enormous amounts of migrants coming to the border ahead of the end of the Title 42 public health order later this week.
BORDER PATROL APPREHENDS OVER 10,000 MIGRANTS A DAY AHEAD OF TITLE 42'S END, HIGHEST EVER RECORDED
The order has been used since March 2020 by both the Trump and Biden administration to expel hundreds of thousands of migrants quickly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, with the order set to end, migrants have began making their way to the border. Fox News reported on Wednesday that there have been more than 10,000 encounters a day across the border.
Administration officials have warned migrants not to make the dangerous journey north, and have also increased funding to NGO partners who assist when migrants are released into the interior.
But NGO officials who Fox spoke to say that they have been facing significantly large numbers for months.
"For us, this started in August of 2022 and then it never did come to a stop, but it became much more manageable up until about two weeks ago," John Martin, deputy director for the Opportunity Center for the Homeless, told Fox News Digital.
He said that things started to change when one day there were 70 migrants in an alley near the center, which they moved into the parking lot but couldn’t bring inside the center as they were at capacity.
"The following day that number grew to 150. And within about a week it grew to over 800," he said.
"The fact of the matter is we wanted to maintain our mission, and that is to work with all. But we got to a point where we simply had too many people and it just wasn't conceivable," he said.
Reulet said that she expected her organization to be at capacity by Thursday -- and noted the toll it is taking on staff.
BIDEN ADMIN TALKS ‘TOUGHER’ ON BORDER AHEAD OF TITLE 42'S END – BUT MIGRANTS AREN'T LISTENING
"Even though there have been some drops in numbers to give us some breathing room, our staff is running on fumes just because of the sheer number of people there are to serve," she said.
Martin said that there was a lot of uncertainty as to what is coming next.
BORDER PATROL CLEARS WAY FOR MORE MIGRANT RELEASES TO CITY STREETS, SOURCES SAY
"I've heard different numbers, but the numbers are all staggering, even though they may vary depending upon: are we looking at 500 a day or are we looking at a thousand or are we looking at 1500? Nobody has the answer to that so I’ve sort of jokingly started saying that the first volunteer I need is somebody with a crystal ball that can actually tell me what's going to happen."
He said that as much as they have prepared as best they can, it may not be enough depending on what happens next.

"I will tell you, because of the staggering numbers that could be involved, that no matter how prepared we are, we may not be prepared enough. Because we simply don't know what's coming in," he said.

El Pasoans react to controversial bill affecting transgender college athletes

EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14) — A controversial bill that would require transgender athletes in public colleges to compete on teams that align with their sex assigned at birth is one step closer to making its way to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk for approval.
Senate Bill 15, which recently passed in the House with amendments, will need to be accepted by the Senate before it is sent to Gov. Abbott.
"Senate Bill 15 is about protecting women from undo physical harm and making sure that all athletic competitions are safe," said House sponsor of the bill Rep. Valoree Swanson, R- Spring.
Texas lawmakers who are bringing forward the new bill said it would help provide an even playing field in college sports for cisgender people.
“Ensuring that not a single woman loses a scholarship a roster sport or a second of playing time to a biological male," said Swanson.
Jhovani Carrillo reports on El Pasoans react to controversial bill affecting transgender college athletes
KFOX14 spoke to El Pasoans about the bill.
“I do think that men are born with certain biological advantages that make them stronger in certain ways," said a man named Michael.

Meanwhile, people who are against the bill say it's just another avenue to discriminate against trans individuals.
"I think it’s discrimination against trans people," said Carolina Tovar.
“This is just another way for them to be able to not only discriminate against us but also to try to invalidate us," said Andi Tiscareno, youth services coordinator and administrative assistant for the Borderland Rainbow Center.
Tiscareno said if the governor signs the bill, it would just be another tool to exclude transgender individuals.
“What should be done is to create new standards, to create new policies that allow for people like us to be able to exist," added Tiscareno.
“I think there could be different regulations that can take into account instead of just their gender identity," said Tovar.
The bill comes after Abbott signed a similar law for high school transgender students nearly two years ago.
According to a limited list by Outsports, 36 openly transgender athletes nationwide have competed in college sports, including at community colleges and junior colleges, in the past decade.
Tiscareno said while there are more transgender people openly playing sports, it's still a very small amount, which is why she doesn't understand why lawmakers presented the bill.
"They are creating solutions to problems that don't exist," said Tiscareno.
KFOX14 reached out to the University of Texas System and the NCAA to find out how many trans athletes are currently competing in college sports but did not get a response.

Best cheap car insurance companies in El Paso
Bankrate’s insurance editorial team began the search for the cheapest companies in El Paso by analyzing rate data from Quadrant Information Services for the best carriers in Texas. Based on our assessment, Geico, State Farm and Nationwide offer the cheapest average rates in the state without sacrificing coverage options, customer service or financial strength.
We rounded out our list of the best cheap auto insurance companies in El Paso by looking at customer satisfaction scores from J.D. Power, financial strength ratings from AM Best, available discounts, breadth of coverage and — of course — affordability. Using that information, we rated each company on a five-point scale to assign Bankrate Scores. Our Bankrate Scores may help shoppers quickly identify whether a cheap carrier in El Paso could meet their coverage needs.
| Insurance company | Bankrate Score | J.D. Power score (Texas) | Average annual premium for full coverage | Average annual premium for minimum coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Geico | 4.4 | 843/1,000 | $1,446 | $380 |
| State Farm | 4.2 | 851/1,000 | $1,378 | $408 |
| Nationwide | 3.9 | Not Rated | $1,598 | $533 |
| Mercury | 3.2 | Not Rated | $1,369 | $389 |
| Esurance | 3.2 | Not Rated | $1,280 | $391 |
Geico offers average rates below the El Paso average, plus policyholders may be able to lower their premiums with additional discounts for students, professional affiliation, military service, telematics participation and more. Geico’s robust website and mobile app allow for easy policy management on the go, but the carrier does not underwrite its own home or life insurance, so it may not be the best option for shoppers looking to bundle policies with a single underwriter.

State Farm has over 40 insurance agents in El Paso, which may contribute to its high J.D. Power satisfaction score in the region. El Paso drivers may be able to build a more robust policy with State Farm with potential endorsements for ridesharing, car rental and travel expenses, and roadside assistance. However, the carrier does not offer gap insurance, and accident forgiveness coverage must be earned with demonstrated safe driving.
Learn more: State Farm Insurance review
Nationwide may not be the cheapest carrier on our list, but it offers a broad range of coverage options, and its average full coverage rates are still below the city average. You may be able to personalize your coverage with accident forgiveness, roadside assistance, vanishing deductible and a total loss deductible waiver. The company also offers several discounts that might help you lower your premium, such as potential savings for being accident-free, a good student, having a vehicle with certain safety equipment and signing up for automatic payments.
Learn more: Nationwide Insurance review
Mercury is a smaller insurance company that only writes policies in 11 states, including Texas. As a small carrier, Mercury does not offer as many endorsements as some larger competitors, but it does offer rideshare coverage and roadside assistance. Low-mileage drivers may particularly appreciate Mercury’s RealDrive pay-per-mile insurance option. Mercury is not scored in the Texas region of J.D.
