That's not a criticism. It's a structural reality — they have pricing analysts whose entire job is that contract, and you have a logistics manager with eleven other responsibilities. My job is to close that gap.
You'll get value from this if you recognize your company here:
If you're a large shipper with a dedicated transportation procurement team and a TMS analyst on staff, you probably don't need me. I'll tell you that on the first call.
Named, fixed-fee work with a defined scope and a defined deliverable. You know what you're getting and what it costs before it starts.
A full read of where your transportation dollars are going and what should be done about it.
Most clients start here. It stands alone — there's no obligation to go further.
Reduce transportation cost while protecting service. This is where four decades of carrier-side rules and tariff knowledge does the most work.
Scoped to your freight spend. Quoted as a fixed fee, or on a share of verified savings.
Senior transportation leadership without the cost of a full-time executive.
For companies that need the capability but can't justify the headcount. Larger scopes quoted individually.
Thirty minutes. You describe the situation, I tell you whether there's real money on the table. If there isn't, I'll say so.
I review your agreements, invoice data, and shipping profile, then come back with specific findings and a quantified opportunity — not a general recommendation to explore optimization.
Depending on what we find: negotiation support, a full bid, network redesign, or training your team to hold the ground going forward.
Optional ongoing review so the gains don't erode over the next two renewal cycles.
Defined projects are quoted as fixed fees, not hourly. You should know what this costs before it starts.
For freight cost reduction work, I'll take a share of what I save you instead of a fee. The structure is a percentage of verified first-year savings, measured against a documented baseline over twelve months, with the methodology agreed in writing before I start.
Most clients who doubt there's money in their freight agreements choose this. Most of them are surprised.
