Establish Prepares a New Transportation Negotiation Strategy

This year, Establish has prepared a new strategy for negotiating contracts. While the focus in the current negotiation strategy has been on fuel surcharges, we are not losing sight of the rates themselves.

In 2008 the fuel surcharge was as high as 25 to 35 percent of transportation costs. Clearly, the fuel surcharge can no longer be ignored. As an example, a company with a freight spend of $10 million can spend as much as $2.5 to $3.5 million in fuel costs. A reduction of 5 percent in fuel cost would yield at least $125,000+ in savings. With the economy in turmoil, companies cannot ignore the obvious benefit to their bottom line.

Establish has over 20 years of experience in negotiating transportation rates. The vast knowledge and expertise in the industry allows Establish to gage and negotiate acceptable rates and accessorial charges. The tactics used have resulted in substantial transportation savings for our clients.

Establish focuses on the details that matter. We will make a difference in your bottom line. Please contact us.
