We are unlike any other freight transportation management and consulting firm in the industry.  Our philosophy with clients is to establish unwavering trust and confidence through our enduring crusade to always provide the lowest possible set domestic freight solutions with the highest levels of service with all carriers across all modes of transportation.  As such, our services are always “free of charge” unless we prove to you we are saving you money. 

As a result of our flexible transactional models with clients, we are able to provide our services in several forms, and we customize our disciplines based on the management style and resources utilized by our clients.

• We are a domestic freight consultant and contract management firm.

  As our flagship service model and often popular for larger organizational clients with existing internal freight management personnel and sophisticated resources, our most basic set of services focuses solely on cutting costs and improving levels of service from carriers.  We analyze all carrier portfolios, modes of transportation, classification systems, assessorial fee structures, available rebates and discount opportunities, route selection criteria, and much more to determine areas for improvements.  Once we determine the optimum portfolio of carrier partners and associated working models, we typically restructure or rewrite carrier contracts ourselves to the maximum benefit of our clients, and institute a series of checks and balances to ensure ongoing compliance with services and billing practices.  In rare instances, even if we determine all existing carriers and modes of transportation are employed by a client are providing maximum efficiencies, we are still able to negotiate much better rate structures with such carriers to reduce overall expenses.  No matter the size or sophistication level of our clients, we always provide consulting and contract management services to everyone, as we are certain to uncover opportunities for improvements which can be incorporated into existing programs whether or not additional services are appropriate.      

  Freight transportation contracts between carriers and shippers are typically written by carriers.  As a result, often inherent terms and conditions are written to favor carriers, and are typically void of critical performance measurement factors which benefit shippers.  We write our own contracts with carriers on behalf of our clients, thus ensuring more favorable terms and conditions and delineation of performance measurements with financial consequences towards adherence to such measurements.  Compliance is monitored regularly under serveral measurements guidelines:

• We are a domestic freight brokerage firm.

  For many of our smaller clients who choose to have domestic freight programs managed by external brokerage firms and looking for more efficiencies, better service as well as all the services offered by traditional freight brokers, we provide all the freight consulting and contract management services available to our larger clients packaged in a service model to include all the freight brokerage services typically provided by similar firms.

• We are a domestic freight forwarding and load matching firm.

  As carriers are always looking for means to maximize loads and shippers are always looking for means to minimize costs, in addition to our consulting and contract management services and our freight brokerage services, we provide the marketplace with forwarding services through our vast network of connections amongst both carriers and shippers.  As always, we incorporate forwarding services under the same rate structures available via our proprietary contracts for all clients.

• We are a domestic freight auditing firm.

  Carriers often make billing mistakes, whether through charging for late deliveries, incorrect rates and/or weight charges, incorrect classifications, overcharges and missing discounts, duplication of invoicing, etc.  Such mistakes in obligations and/or billing costs businesses money.  In addition to contract management relevant to performance measurements, we also audit both historical and ongoing billing on a regular basis to ensure mistakes are monitored and billing reflects actual and verifiable services, and collect appropriate refunds whenever possible (typically uncovering up to 5% in additional refunds/discounts).
