What We Do

Our business is all about passionately supporting the LTL industry. Regardless of your role within LTL, we can help you. Here are just a couple of the projects we have done for our customers:

Developed a carrier dossier to track LTL carrier service areas, Mastio scores, optimal and sub-optimal freight profiles, use of rail and purchased transportation, use of 3PLs, use of dimensioners, service options, etc.
Authored an internal LTL 101 training document covering topics such as the NMFC, accessorials, carrier liability, and management of freight bill exceptions.
Establish a customer onboarding process to gather pertinent customer data such as freight profile, priority of service needs, and operational checklists.
Designed a pricing calculator model which accounts for changes in pricing due to base rate, freight class, accessorial, minimum charge, fuel surcharge, and discount adjustments.
Advised methods to optimize the application of over-dimensional charges on shipping items exceeding 96 inches in length which dramatically impact freight operations.
