Don’t know the NMFC# of the item you're shipping? Contact the manufacturer for it - or pay higher rates & penalty fees for guessing wrong.

To get your best rates on shipments traveling less then 200 miles use a regional carrier – or a 3PL that contracts with them.
Are you sending 100s of lbs of freight with FedEx/UPS ground because you think it's too light a load for LTL? For 150+ lbs, always use LTL.
The primary reason for quotes differing from actual rates is entering the wrong weight or class when tendering shipments.
Ask your freight carrier what % off the tariff your company receives. If it's less than 50%, you can do much better. Most are at least 70%.
Which carriers habitually deliver late? Add the most surcharges? Have liftgates on all trucks? Use a 3PL so you can pick/choose your carrier
Want to spend less time getting quotes & preparing BOLs? Try WWEX & concentrate on your business: http://ow.ly/52YDI. DM me for info.
Have complex shipping patterns that involve FTL, LTL, expedited, ground & intl, & storage needs? A good 3PL can handle this for you.
Need to store a few pallets offsite? A good 3PL can offer warehousing solutions. Try Worldwide Express: http://ow.ly/52Y4F. DM me for info.
How much do you know about your carriers? Use a 3PL. They know their carriers strengths & weakness & when to use or avoid specific carriers.
Does your 3PL meet w/you quarterly to make sure your current strategy is still current? Try WWEX: http://ow.ly/52XYV. DM me for info.
When your vendors ship on your behalf, how much are they charging you for the freight? A lot most likely. Have them ship on your account.
Manufacturing is starting to move from China back to Mexico. Do you have a freight strategy to get your products up from Mexico?
Are you provided an online tool to see all available carriers for each load? Try Worldwide Express: http://ow.ly/52XqI. DM me for info.
Ever had your shipment to Peoria end up in San Bernardino? It may be because you didn’t completely remove old labels.
How many carriers does your 3PL partner with? Worldwide Express is a national 3PL with over 30 partners: http://ow.ly/52Xfc. DM me for info.
The greater the weight, the lower the price/pound is. Can you combine shipments to move the same weight in fewer total moves?
Limits of Liability is NOT insurance. Use a 3rd party insurance provider. Your 3PL should be able to provide one for you.
Want to make sure your product gets where it needs to be on time? Most reputable carriers offer guaranteed service for 10-20% more.
What’s your nightmare logistics scenario? Do you have a plan? Does your 3PL know your business? Make sure you're on the same page w/your 3PL
