We have an exciting new partnership to announce; Preferred Shipping has signed a reseller agreement with regional carrier LSO (Lone Star Overnight). Under the agreement, we will sell LSO’s same-day, next-day, scheduled and day-definite guaranteed deliveries up to 150 pounds.

LSO/Lone Star Overnight is the South’s premier regional parcel carrier, serving all of Texas and major metro markets in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi. “Our strategic partnership with Preferred Shipping enables us expand our reach so that more shippers benefit from LSO,” said LSO CEO Richard Metzler. “By offering better service than FedEx and UPS, up to 40% lower rates, more flexibility, and far fewer hassles, we ensure customers that choose LSO will see significant cost and operational advantages.”

The growth in ecommerce and the expectation for two-day delivery is demanding changes throughout the supply chain. Customers are making their voices heard and want an alternative to the national carriers.

“This partnership with LSO allows us to offer a reliable, local, and cost-effective shipping solution through a reputable company that has 25 years of experience,” states Preferred Shipping President, George Flowers. “Beyond lower rates, effectively using a regional carrier can simplify pricing through reduced fees and improve delivery times with an expanded next-day footprint. Preferred Shipping’s expertise will help customers maximize the benefit of LSO’s impressive offering.”

We are committed to helping our customers successfully evaluate how and when to use LSO as a carrier. Our goal is to use this new partnership to save you money and improve your business operations. Please contact our team or your sales rep if you have questions about how you might benefit from a regional carrier.
