Still Don't Have an Active Routing Guide?

If you don't have a routing guide or aren't using or enforcing your company's current routing guide, now is the time to make some big changes. The economy is recovering, and you need to lock in your rates and carrier contracts now, before the market improves. Having an established electronic or online routing guide will enable you gain control of spending and achieve lower rates on your next carrier contract.

Three reasons to implement an active routing guide sooner rather than later are:

1. Control. When you establish a routing guide, you gain control of the movement of your company's shipments.

2. Accountability. Once a routing guide is in place, predetermined charges for each shipping lane are in place, too. You can hold the right people accountable for exceeding or driving up these established charges.

3. Cost Reduction. Enforcing your routing guide company-wide will increase the amount spent with your preferred carriers. Giving your preferred carriers more volume will enable them to reduce costs.
