Our consulting practice is built on something most freight advisors don't have — real experience inside the carrier world. We know how rates are built, where the margin is hidden, and what levers actually move in contract negotiations.
We understand carrier pricing from the inside — how rate cards are structured, where margin is layered in, and what the carrier's actual floor is. That knowledge changes every negotiation.
We work exclusively for shippers. We don't consult for carriers, we don't take referral fees from carriers, and we never will. Our only job is to put money back in your pocket.
Carriers respond to facts, not friendships. We come to every engagement with benchmarked rate data, your lane profile, and a clear picture of what better terms look like — so you negotiate from a position of knowledge.
All consulting engagements are billed hourly. We'll scope your project on a free discovery call and give you a clear estimate before any work begins. No retainer required.
Your carrier knows exactly how much room they have in their rate card. You don't — until now. We bring carrier-insider knowledge to your negotiation, helping you identify the terms worth fighting for, the language to ask for, and the data that actually moves the needle with carrier reps.
Illustrative example based on typical engagement outcomes. Actual results vary by carrier mix, current rates, and contract complexity.
Are you paying competitive rates for your lanes, weight profile, and freight mix — or are you just paying what your carrier asked for? We benchmark your current contracted rates against market to give you a clear, data-backed picture of where you stand and where you're overpaying.
Which carrier you use for which lane matters as much as the rate itself. Service reliability, transit time, damage rates, and billing accuracy all affect your total freight cost. We help you build a carrier mix that optimizes for cost and service — not just what your current carriers are telling you.
A top-to-bottom review of your freight spend — from contracted rates to operational patterns. We identify where the biggest cost reduction opportunities are and deliver a prioritized action plan. This is the engagement that sets the direction for everything else.
30 minutes. You tell us about your freight situation — carriers, spend, current pain points. We ask the right questions and tell you honestly if and how we can help.
Based on the discovery call, we scope the engagement and provide a written estimate — hours, deliverables, and timeline. You approve before any billable work begins.
We do the work — benchmarking, reviewing agreements, analyzing spend, building the strategy. You get a clear, data-backed deliverable, not a generic report.
We don't hand you a report and disappear. We support you through the negotiation, carrier conversations, and implementation — as much or as little as you need.
Start with a free 30-minute discovery call. No obligation, no sales pitch — just an honest conversation about your situation and whether we can help.
