The Role of Carrier Management in Freight

This white paper is a must-read for those shippers looking to navigate the volatile freight market utilizing improved carrier management practices.

What You’ll Learn in this Carrier Management White Paper

The costs of logistics continue to climb, and according to John Schultz of Logistics Management, US logistics costs rose more than 11% through 2018.

Meanwhile, the threat of a trade war with China continues to push the boundaries of an all-out battle for success.

Shippers need more capacity; carriers need more drivers.

Customers want a faster delivery, and they do not care what shipper A or carrier D needs to make it happen.

In today's world, shippers need to rethink the topic of carrier management and ensure their carrier relationships add strategic value.

All carrier relationships need careful coddling in the beginning, but they must be kept in check over time. It's a precarious situation, but it is necessary.

This white paper will explore how carrier management in freight can make or break successful supply chains, including:

  • Best practices for general freight carrier management
  • How to find the right truckload freight carriers for your needs
  • The value of less-than-truckload freight carriers in building a tactical, strategic supply chain
  • How to secure the best carrier rates, not just the best carrier relationships
  • Using freight bidding to keep your incumbent carriers interested and engaged
  • How to manage carrier compliance through a TMS
