Q. How much will the services of Transportation Impact, LLC cost?

A. We will analyze your parcel situation at no cost or obligations. If we can help you, our gain share program is client specific and if there are no savings there are no costs. 

Q. What should I expect as a typical savings resulting from Transportation Impact, LLC services?

A. Savings are dependent on your current pricing and needs. Our team consistently achieves reductions between 15 and 25 percent.  

Q. What carriers are used?

A. The client has the final decision on what carrier to use based on reliability, pricing, service levels, familiarity with the client’s business and recommendations by Transportation Impact. 

Q. Is Transportation Impact, LLC just another freight payment service?

A. No. Our services are designed to reduce your small package shipping costs. It is not our intent to pay your invoices on your behalf. 

Q. If I just signed a new contract or am currently engaged in completing a new contract, can Transportation, LLC help?

A. Yes. Carriers will engage in contract renegotiation at any time during your current agreement. 

Q. Before we sign an agreement with Transportation Impact, LLC, what is to prevent us from going back to the carriers one last time in an effort to generate additional savings?

A.  Even though you may be able to get additional savings on your own, you will sacrifice the opportunity to achieve even greater savings.  Carriers will often stay with their initial proposals.  Remember, it is the carrier representative's job to handle your shipments at the highest possible price and profit margins. 

Q. Why should we hire an outside consulting firm to handle carrier negotiations when we have an internal staff that can manage this process?

A. Expertise: Transportation Impact, LLC will leverage over 100 years of parcel negotiation experience to attain a market leading contract, identify and implement process improvements and monitor and manage your contract. Without our partnership you will see diminished results in these three areas and you will be paying a higher rate to ship your packages.

B. Time Savings: Most organizations cannot devote the hundreds of hours that are required to obtain the most effective carrier agreements. This allows the client to focus on their core competencies. We will bear the costs associated with the time-consuming vendor meetings, evaluations, data capture and analysis; clients do not sacrifice resources and can remain focused on their current/future priorities.
