A New Approach to Primary Freight

Thursday, October 22, 2020 | 2pm ET


Whether you ship 1,000 or 100,000 truckloads each year, you face challenges in getting your freight covered reliably.

For high-volume shippers, RFPs and freight contracts are meant to provide dependable capacity and cost savings. But RFPs take months to complete, cost millions in operational expenses, and result in contracts that are quickly broken when the market tightens.

For smaller businesses who don’t run RFPs, shipping on the spot market is often the only viable solution. But spot freight has its own costs and risks—it’s time-consuming to tender every individual shipment, and you’re often working with unfamiliar carriers, which can jeopardize your service quality.

Now there's a better wayConvoy Guaranteed Primary is a unique approach to primary freight that can reduce your transportation costs by up to 19% while offering 100% tender acceptance.

And for logistics professionals in companies of all sizes, Guaranteed Primary means less time fighting fires and more time adding value to your business.
