Logistics Consulting
Get Inside Info for the Best Contract Terms and Pricing
You’ve been in this business long enough to know that contracts with your carriers are essential. Without them, your rates can change month to month, making shipping costs unpredictable. A contract is the only way to control transportation expenses.
Lack of Pricing Transparency
Transportation companies, much like major airlines, deliberately avoid pricing transparency. Just as two passengers on the same flight might pay different fares, identical shipments can be charged different rates.
Negotiation Challenges
Know What’s Negotiable: Understanding which pricing elements are negotiable and how they vary with each carrier is challenging.
Carrier’s Edge: Even if you’re a master negotiator, carriers have an advantage. They know the available incentives and discounts and aren’t obligated to share that information with you.
Control Your Costs
At ICC Logistics, we help you navigate these complexities to secure the best contract terms and pricing, ensuring predictable and manageable transportation expenses.
