ITS Logistics Expands DropFleet Network to Address Evolving Supply Chain Demands

ITS Logistics has announced a significant expansion of its DropFleet trailer network, adding thousands of trailers to support rapidly evolving supply chains among its customer base. The expansion addresses growing demand for hybrid capacity solutions that combine the certainty of dedicated equipment with the reach of an extensive carrier network. DropFleet enables shippers to handle dynamic, time-sensitive demand through streamlined trailer pools and yard management, an approach that has proven effective across industries including e-commerce, automotive, and government services.

The expansion is driven by ITS Logistics' proprietary network optimization technology and rigorous fraud prevention strategies, which work together to deliver anytime, anywhere drop capacity. According to Josh Allen, Chief Commercial Officer at ITS Logistics, peak season demands have evolved, requiring shippers to maintain reliable delivery capabilities despite unexpected market shifts. The scalability of hybrid capacity solutions provides the balance of guaranteed capacity, cost effectiveness, and geographical flexibility that modern supply chains require.

Unlike traditional trailer pools, DropFleet trailers have no region or lane limitations, whether they are ITS-owned or carrier-owned. This flexibility is made possible through AI-enabled asset management capabilities that eliminate the challenges of pool rebalancing, idle capacity, and yard management for shippers. Allen emphasized that customers value DropFleet's ability to handle variable shipping volumes across different locations with minimal notice, citing examples of 30 trailers to the West one day followed by 50 the next, plus additional capacity to the East.

The service has demonstrated its effectiveness with major corporations, including Gap, which recently named ITS Logistics its Peak Carrier of the Year. A top ten automotive manufacturer utilizes DropFleet to maintain a pool of 200 trailers allocated across 16 facilities nationwide and more than 70 daily lanes. Additionally, a top North American retailer leverages 1,000 DropFleet trailers to support massive growth in their emerging e-commerce network, showcasing the solution's scalability for large-scale operations.

Security remains a critical concern in the current freight environment, with CargoNet recording 884 supply chain theft events across the U.S. and Canada during the second quarter of 2025, representing a 13% increase compared to the same period in 2024. To combat rising fraud risks, DropFleet employs stringent prevention practices including multifactor carrier verification during onboarding, required re-verification for dormant carriers, real-time tracking software, and GPS-equipped assets with door sensors. These measures have resulted in a critical incident rate of 0.004%, well below industry standards.

Allen noted that quality surpasses quantity in capacity management, with 80% of ITS Logistics' freight running on 30% of their carrier network. This selective approach allows the company to maintain a premium pool of proven, dedicated carriers who provide reliable service. The strategic partnership model benefits both shippers seeking dependable capacity and carriers looking for consistent opportunities, creating a sustainable ecosystem for freight management.
