Negotiation

Data-driven negotiation works to secure the greatest rates from multiple carriers, including regionals

Do you have the right resources to optimize carrier contracts?

It's not enough to pit one carrier against another in a zero sum game to save a few percentage points. Rather, it makes most sense to identify fulfilment patterns then ship those with carriers best suited to deliver. This means working with carriers that may:

  • Offer more competive rates than majors in certain geographical regions
  • Provide additional discounts for heavilly trafficked lanes
  • Extend price breaks for certain weights and classes that match your criteria
  • Have zone coveragethat allows for air-to-ground service optimization

These are just a few of the many ways to work with carriers and find the best rates.
