Spending Too Much on Transportation?

Here are 10 questions that will help you identify whether or not you might be able to find new or additional savings opportunities within your transportation budget:

1. Are my providers looking at my unique shipping profile when determining rate and fee structures?
2. Are my rates in line with market standards?
3. Does my agreement offer protection against increases on fuel and transportation charges?
4. Does my agreement offer cost benefits based on my shipping characteristics?
5. Have I accurately determined whether I should be using smaller, local providers versus a global provider?
6. Is my company's routing guide being followed?
7. Am I locked into a multi-year agreement with my provider?
8. Do I have complete visibility of my supply chain?
9. Am I controlling my inbound volume?
10. Am I auditing my parcel and freight bills?
