Gebrüder Weiss Launches Turvo-Powered LTL Service Across North America



Gebrüder Weiss, the world's oldest logistics company and a global provider of full-service transportation and supply chain solutions, announced the rollout of its Turvo-powered less-than-truckload (LTL) service across North America following a successful pilot program in 2025.


The expanded LTL solution is powered by the Turvo Collaboration Cloud, a shared platform connecting shippers, carriers, and internal teams in a single operating environment. The platform supports real-time shipment visibility, streamlined execution, and improved coordination across the LTL lifecycle, enabling faster decision-making and more consistent outcomes.

 

Kate Leatherbury, director of North American LTL solutions at Gebrüder Weiss said:

"LTL is a critical and growing part of our customers' supply chains, and the results of the pilot reinforced the need to scale these capabilities across our network. Expanding this capability allows us to better support complex shipments while improving efficiency for our customers."

During the pilot phase, Gebrüder Weiss used Turvo to simplify LTL rating, booking, tracking and document management while reducing manual touchpoints and improving collaboration among internal teams, carriers, and customers. Shippers can select preferred carriers and access real-time shipment updates through a centralized interface.


Pushkar Deshpande, SVP of Product at Turvo said:

“This is a great example of how Turvo enables logistics providers to scale LTL while delivering service excellence through simplified execution, increased visibility, and seamless collaboration. We continue to invest in enhancing LTL capabilities on Turvo, and I am excited about the measurable outcomes Gebrüder Weis has seen from leveraging our technology.”

The expanded LTL solution builds on Gebrüder Weiss' long-term strategy to invest in digital tools that enhance service reliability, scalability, and customer experience across its North American network.


Mark McCullough, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss North America said:

"Our approach is to combine advanced technology with the high-touch service our customers expect. Turvo helps us deliver greater operational consistency while maintaining close customer relationships."

The Turvo-powered LTL service is now available to Gebrüder Weiss customers throughout North America and complements the company's existing portfolio of overland, air, ocean, and logistics services.
