Negotiating:

We use the information gleaned from
the data gathering stage of audit & payment, to develop a
comprehensive bid package with the needed critical
elements. Bid package elements
include: annual shipments and weight by lane;
product descriptions; product class, and frequently
used accessorial services. Standardization of the
mileage base, FAK structure, accessorial list and
tariff base ensures an “apples to apples”
comparison of carrier bid package responses.
Through benchmarking you are assured that
competent carriers, that offer competitive pricing,
are included in the bid process.
 

Contracting:

Incorporating our well established carrier contract into your
business provides you with many benefits:

  • one contract base for all carriers;

  • carriers familiarity and acceptance of the contractual language;

  • equal and consistent protection for you;

  • eliminates your exposure to frequently changing carrier rules;

  • standardization of accessorial charges which avoids the possibility of being liable for obscure charges and ensures carriers are not “padding” their profit at your expense.
