F.A.C.T.S. PREFERRED CARRIER PROGRAM
For a small monthly fee F.A.C.T.S. will monitor your shipping department and vendor usage of carriers.
Simply provide us with a Routing Guide (see Routing & Cost Control for more information on Routing Guides) or Routing Instructions with the “Preferred Carriers” for each traffic lane.
When a carrier is utilized that is not on your approved list, F.A.C.T.S. will re-rate the shipment using the pricing of the “Preferred Carrier”.
In the F.A.C.T.S. Remote Reporter software you will find a report titled Preferred Carrier Cost. This report shows each out-of-route shipment detailing the following:
- Shipper
- Consignee
- Date Shipped
- Actual Carrier Used
- Actual Carrier Cost
- Preferred Carrier
- Preferred Carrier Cost
- Savings or Loss from Each Shipment.
This is a powerful tool that quickly shows the amount of money lost by not utilizing the proper carriers.
The Preferred Carrier Program runs on a month to month basis and can be started or stopped at any time.
