OnTrac Ground Essentials: The New Standard for Economy Delivery
Economy shipping has gotten more expensive. Traditional carriers have raised rates, added surcharges, and narrowed service options—leaving retailers with fewer ways to save.

The State of Speed
Every retailer knows delivery matters. What most don’t know is just how far the ground has shifted beneath their feet. Shoppers are no longer choosing between “fast” and “free.” They’re quietly sorting themselves into four very different buying modes — each with its own triggers, trade-offs, and expectations.
Transparency Every Step of the Way
With SMS notifications, AI validated photo proofs of deliveries, API and multi-carrier software integrations and more, OnTrac has the delivery tech you need to stand out from your competitors.
“Retailers told us they need an economy service that doesn’t force a trade-off between cost and coverage. OnTrac Ground Essentials delivers that combination—lower costs than national economy services, fewer surcharges, and the advantage of coast-to-coast delivery through OnTrac’s 7-day/week operations.”
