ess-than-truckload carrier ABF Freight System said Monday it has implemented a regional transportation network to facilitate next-day and second-day delivery in the eastern United States.

Called the regional performance model, or RPM, the network will have more flexibility and operational efficiency for short-haul freight transportation, the carrier said.

“Tight capacity and evolving logistical standards mean customers are looking for reliable solutions for all of their shipments, including regional freight,” Chief Executive Officer Bob Davidson said.



ABF is a unit of Arkansas Best Corp., ranked No. 17 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
