ITS Logistics Expands DropFleet with Thousands of Trailers to Combat Supply Chain Volatility

ITS Logistics, one of North America's fastest-growing third-party logistics providers, has announced a major expansion of its innovative DropFleet service, adding thousands of trailers to its network. This strategic move is designed to support the rapidly evolving and increasingly dynamic supply chains of its diverse customer base, which includes major players in e-commerce, automotive, and government services. The core of the DropFleet offering is a hybrid capacity model that uniquely blends the certainty of dedicated equipment with the extensive reach of a broad carrier network. This approach is driven by the company's proprietary network optimization technology and rigorous fraud prevention strategies, creating a solution that promises seamless, anytime, anywhere drop capacity for shippers navigating a volatile freight environment.

According to Chief Commercial Officer Josh Allen, the scalability of this hybrid solution is critical for meeting the unpredictable demands of the modern peak season. He emphasizes that shippers require a balance of guaranteed capacity, cost-effectiveness, and unparalleled flexibility, which DropFleet delivers by eliminating traditional region or lane limitations for its trailers. A key differentiator is the use of AI-enabled asset management capabilities that remove the traditional hassles of pool rebalancing, idle capacity, and complex yard management for clients. This has proven successful for demanding clients like Gap, which named ITS Logistics its Peak Carrier of the Year, a top ten automotive manufacturer managing 200 trailers across 16 facilities, and a major North American retailer leveraging 1,000 trailers for e-commerce growth.

The expansion is particularly timely given the alarming surge in freight fraud, with CargoNet reporting 884 supply chain theft events in Q2 2025—a 13% year-over-year increase. To combat this rising threat, DropFleet incorporates ITS's most stringent security protocols, including multifactor carrier verification, real-time tracking software, and GPS-equipped assets. These aggressive mitigation measures have resulted in a critical incident rate of just 0.004%, significantly below the industry standard. Allen notes that quality is paramount, with 80% of their freight handled by a curated, premium pool of proven and dedicated carriers, positioning ITS as a strategic partner for both shippers and carriers seeking reliability in a challenging market.
