Negotiate Multi-Year Carrier Agreements
Short-term carrier contracts often include rate hikes or inconsistent service. Multi-year agreements with reliable carriers help lock in better rates, stabilize capacity, and improve carrier performance. With consistent volume commitments and performance-based incentives, both parties benefit from the relationship. TMS systems help track carrier KPIs to hold them accountable. Long-term contracts offer predictability and better pricing, making it easier to plan budgets and reduce transport costs.
