Negotiating the rates with LTL carriers is often the main source of savings for our customers.  Most companies are focused on their core competency and the impact of freight cost to the bottom line is often overlooked. 

Because we bid for many clients with multiple product mixes, we have an excellent idea of where the market level is on freight rates. Most companies are only familiar with their existing freight spend and monitor its increase each year.  By having a broader view of the marketplace we can truly make sure you are receiving the best possible rates.

Carrier Relationship

Because NCL does rate negotiations for a variety of customers, we have contacts with a vast selection of Carriers with whom our reputation for excellence is well known.  A broader bid package results in more competition which results in better rates.

Web Bid

Our Web Bid process provides the Carriers with the relevant data in the best format to give them all the information that they need for their analysis.  This visibility into the product mix and freight lanes allows them to give their best bid with confidence in their ability to service your account.

Bid Analysis

Carriers have become much smarter in determining what types of product they want to haul and the locations they can best service.   This has resulted in a highly detailed reply to the bid process.  NCL is adept at analysing the many ways carriers price their services and provides a rater to highlight the true lowest cost.  

Rate Ownership

Unlike many other Logistical companies, NCL does not require that you use the rates we have published in our name. At the completion of the bid, the rates that we negotiate for you will be published in your company's name on the Carrier's tariff.
