What does Hub-and-spoke mean in logistics?
Short answer
A network design in which shipments from many origins flow into a central hub, are sorted, and then flow out to many destinations, instead of running direct point-to-point.
The standard model for Indian PTL and express networks: pickups feed local branches, linehaul trucks connect regional hubs, and delivery vehicles run from destination branches. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
