Freight Cost Benchmarking for Shippers:

NOTE: If You are a Carrier see Freight Benchmarking for Carriers

This is the fastest and easiest way to find freight savings in your company. It's really an appraisal of your freight rates, providing "comps" of what other companies pay for the kinds of services you use. This service is invaluable for finding ways to reduce your freight costs on your domestic and international shipments regardless of transport mode.

We will work with you to identify the types of shipments you want to benchmark. We will then conduct a data mining process that will produce rates from numerous companies that make shipments like the ones your company makes. While it would be helpful to us for the purpose of conducting a savings analysis for you, it is not necessary for you to provide your current rates to us to use this service.

The data query process will produce rates that are actually being paid by other companies using similar transportation services under comparable conditions. The rate information you obtain will offer a valuable insight into how well your company is doing when it comes to negotiating freight rates.

In addition to producing benchmark rates, we offer optional interpretive statistical analyses that will:

	Illustrate where your company stands in the field of rates derived from other companies
	Calculate the difference between your company's expenses and those produced by using the lowest, average, and highest applicable rates
	Project the potential savings that might result by using the lowest rates

Our clients have been able to identify and achieve substantial freight savings with the help of our cost benchmarking services, and yours can too. Please contact us for more information regarding this innovative and valuable service from Business Logistics.
