Discount Freight
Freight shipping rates are set by the carriers. When a shipper is charged less than published rates for their load, that’s discount freight. Freight Discounts are determined by how often a shipper ships, either in frequency or volume. The more you ship, the higher your freight discount. Enterprises shippers or businesses that ship frequently with multiple shipments per day benefit from these large shipping discounts, as do freight brokers such as FreightCenter that arrange shipping for less frequent shippers, including small and mid-sized businesses.
How to Get Discounted Freight Rates
Freight Carriers treat a 3PL (freight broker) like FreightCenter as both their agent and their customer. We do 3 very important things for them.
1.Handle all parts of the transaction with the shipper (you).
2.Help the carriers manage their capacity.
3.Book a lot of freight.
Carriers reward us with very generous discounts. To those discounted prices we add a reasonable margin while still saving our customers 25%, 50%, 75% or more.
