LTL rate comparison for small freight brokers
Small brokers and shippers need LTL rates from several carriers in a single place.
Why it can work
- Shippers lose hours collecting emailed quotes and retyping prices.
- Retyping causes frequent pricing mistakes in spreadsheets.
- Brokers want LTL tools for customers and commission earnings.
Watch out
- Shippers may be required to use a mandated system.
- Carrier rate access may be hard to secure.
