Transparency: The Key to Effective Shipper and Carrier Partnerships
Effective relationships are the key to any business, and for shippers and carriers, they can even be the difference between failure and success. While shippers can readily recognize service and performance differences with carriers that operate solely based on low cost, they often struggle to note the different strengths between top-quality trucking companies. By enabling improved transparency, however, premium transportation services providers can gain a competitive advantage that grows their businesses and boosts profitability.

End-to-End Visibility: The Next Level of LTL Freight
In today’s market, end-to-end freight visibility is a must-have. Thanks to the Amazon Effect and boom in ecommerce, consumers have become accustomed to following their packages from order to delivery and now that the same transparency expectation has migrated to the less-than-truckload (LTL) industry. This fact is exemplified in a recent study from the American Trucking Associated that noted 75% of shippers said freight visibility is a major concern in their supply chain. Shippers need to know where their freight is and when it will arrive because their end-users are demanding that visibility.

3PL Adding Value Guide
Third-party logistics providers (3PLs) are seeing increasing competition in the market.
Historically, 3PLs were the leaders in adopting new technology, being the first to deliver multicarrier ratings through a single service. However, that top position is eroding because carriers are now offering multicarrier rate engines through their applications, which they bill as competition to transportation management systems (TMS) offered through 3PLs. Additionally, LTL carriers are offering more competitive rates to smaller shippers through dynamic pricing models while also moving 3PLs to a similar dynamic tariff to combat annual blanket pricing for all of the 3PLs’ shipper customers.
The result is that 3PLs need to continue to innovate and expand their offerings to cut through the competitiveness of the marketplace and secure the continual business of their customers.

LTL Carrier Negotiations Guide
Negotiating contract pricing with your less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers can be daunting, but it is necessary. The goal of all freight pricing contract negotiations should be to get the best outcome for all parties involved. To do that, third-party logistics providers (3PLs) and shippers must enter the negotiating talks with as much data as possible. This will ensure that you source LTL carriers that can offer great service for your freight, your customers and your suppliers at a fair market value.
