Connecting the Domestic Dots with United, American and Delta Airlines Joining FedEx and UPS, 7LFreight Now Provides eBooking Access to 69% of Domestic U.S. Air Capacity
Portland, OR – Following the addition of American Airlines Cargo, Delta Cargo, and United Airlines Cargo capacity to the WebCargo and 7LFreight digital cargo booking platforms, combined with existing capacity from FedEx and UPS, 7LFreight is excited to announce that domestic US air cargo has joined the Digital Air Cargo (DAC) revolution that has already transformed international air cargo, resulting in a marked increase in domestic air cargo bookings. Capacity from five of the largest U.S. airlines offering cargo means that U.S. forwarders now have more options at their disposal for instant rating and booking by both ground and air providers, including Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipments, domestic air cargo, and international air cargo, all on one platform.
The domestic air cargo market has grown substantially in recent years, driven in part by the COVID-19 pandemic that created a surge in e-commerce and the need for faster delivery times. In 2020 alone, U.S. air carriers handled over 25 billion pounds of domestic freight. Many routine goods and retail products are now moved through the skies, including pharmaceuticals, perishable agricultural products, and other time-sensitive products.
“Our goal at 7LFreight has always been to simplify the freight process,” said Brennan O’Dowd, Founder and CEO of 7LFreight by WebCargo. “By integrating real-time rate management, quotes, and bookings for LTL trucking as well as domestic and international air cargo on one platform, we are providing a simple yet powerful tool that removes the complexity of managing multiple processes. This allows our customers to focus on their core operations without the hassle.”
