Are you really getting the best freight price?

Many large shippers rely on a one time review of tariffs and rates to ensure they are getting the best freight price for their business and to fulfill budgets for the upcoming year. Many shippers perform their review of freight in October to decide what their freight budget will befor the upcoming year . They then lock in lanes to pricing using their ERP system and ship those shipments on designated carriers who provided the best pricing.

Carriers have now begun to modify their pricing increases to improve their edge knowing the process many large shippers have using their ERP systems. During the last two years most carriers have increased pricing up to twice during the calendar year and are scheduling a early year increase in 2012.

Although completing the budget for the a calendar year is necessary, shippers should continually utilize the best pricing method throughout the year. Getting actual values for each shipment can sometimes save on freight costs by allowing a continual review of carriers pricing and lanes.
