What is a 2PL company?

2PL is a broader term than 1PL as they are third-party providers offering storage as well as transportation. This type of business often goes by the name of forwarder since they are responsible for the transportation services. 

 

These types of companies usually lease or charter the mode of transportation rather than owning them. More so, the 2PL companies usually operate within their territory.
