FREIGHT NEGOTIATION

You’d like to reduce your freight rates. But here’s the problem. While you know your rates, you’re dealing with large carriers who see everyone’s rates and know the price they can command for the freight. The way to address this is to see what the carriers see. We can help. Trans-Solutions maintains an extensive database of carrier rates. We know what the market will bear and can leverage this knowledge to cut your current rates significantly. We specialize in small package rate negotiations.

Freight negotiation services across all modes of freight

We apply our exacting approach to freight negotiation across all modes of freight, including:

• Small package rate negotiation. Too many shippers believe that limited carrier choice in small parcel makes negotiation futile. Not so. Trans-Solutions specializes in small parcel negotiation and can cut your spend 10% to 35%.
• Air freight rate negotiation. Air freight forwarders and integrators are masters at the accessorial charge. Knowing which ones will be accessed on your freight and which ones should be discounted can save you plenty. Trans-Solutions will ensure these extra charges are identified and eliminated or negotiated to the most favorable rates.
• Less-than-truckload rate negotiation. There are many choices with TL and LTL freight, but more competition doesn’t ensure the best rates. Often creating the best match between freight and carrier is what makes the difference. Trans-Solutions can work with you to match your freight with specific carrier preferences, by lane and freight type.
