Lane Optimization, Rate Renegotiation & Direct Shipper Acquisition

We renegotiate your existing lane rates using current market intelligence, then build direct shipper relationships that reduce broker dependency and improve per-mile revenue.

The Problem

Broker margins are the largest variable cost most carriers don't track.

Every load that moves through a broker has a spread — the difference between the shipper's payment and your rate. That spread is typically 15–25% of gross, and it compounds across every load, every lane, every week.

For a 50-truck fleet running consistent freight, the total margin transferred to brokers can exceed $500K annually. Direct shipper contracts eliminate it. Our sales team builds those relationships on your behalf.

Annual Cost of Broker Dependency Per Truck

Broker commissions (15–25%)$18,000–$30,000
Load board subscriptions$3,600–$7,200
Deadhead miles$8,000–$15,000
Spot rate volatility$5,000–$12,000
Total annual cost$34K–$64K
Process

We handle the sales function. You run the freight.

01

Operation Review

We document your preferred lanes, equipment type, capacity, schedule constraints, and rate requirements. We only pursue freight that fits your operation.

02

Prospecting & Negotiation

Our sales team contacts shippers directly, negotiates contract rates, and manages the process. You approve every deal before freight moves.

03

Execution

Direct shipper contracts mean consistent freight at higher rates with planned routes. The relationship belongs to you — we built it.

Outcomes

Direct shipper contracts improve revenue, predictability, and asset value.

Broker Margin Elimination

15–25% of every brokered load goes to the intermediary. On direct contracts, that revenue stays in your operation.

Freight Consistency

Contract rates and regular loads allow planning of schedules, routes, and driver assignments weeks in advance.

Reduced Deadhead

Planned lanes with round-trip potential reduce empty miles and increase revenue per mile driven.

Business Equity

Shipper relationships are transferable assets. Load board subscriptions are not.
