A few large companies require a shipping contract with
contract rates - rather than spot pricing. This is the rate
that you will agree to for the next year and it can be a
benefit because you don't have to renegotiate a new rate
order by order.
Many freight brokers don't allow contract rates because they
can pose a threat to profitability. For this reason, Elite
Freight reviews every contract rate and approves the
contracts that are true benefit to all parties involved; the
shipper, the freight broker agent and the carrier.
We can do this because we have in depth experience that
allows us to share. For example: A load going from
Chicago to New York will cost more than a load going from
New York to Chicago based on the supply and demand of
equipment available.
When you are looking for a Freight Broker to partner with,
search for one that can truly add value when it comes to
developing a contract rate agreement.
