Download a printable overview of the Strategic Base Rate.

Development of a customer specific LTL rate base that provides our customers the comfort of a home, level playing field.


Carriers create rate structures to benefit carriers not customers.
They capitalize on confusion and complexity to create uncertainty.

Overview

Just like in sports, you have a better chance of winning when you play on your home turf. In LTL transportation the turf is the tariff. The thousands of combinations of zip pairs and classifications can make a logistics professional's life complicated. We look to simplify your life by creating a custom rate base created with your needs and historical perspective of the market in mind. By playing at home you will be able to compare carriers in a simplified manner. You will be able to control the variable increases that carriers GRI's create. You will be able to maximize the results while minimizing the time to negotiate and manage your carrier base.

Benefits

  • Provides apple to apple comparisons of carrier pricing
  • Speeds carrier contacting and automation of audit and payment
  • Provides benchmarking for negotiation and compliance
