How Axiom Keeps Cross-Border Freight Moving, Even at the Last Minute

Company Overview

Axiom Surface Protection supplies high-performance temporary surface protection direct to construction professionals across North America, including Coroplast sheets, adhesive films, and tapes. Their freight moves cross-border, so quoting and reliability across the US and Canada are part of everyday business.

With FreightSimple, they quote cross-border freight in one place, cut costs by around 5%, and keep shipments on time even when a carrier falls through.

The Challenge

Before FreightSimple, getting freight rates was slow and costly.

Time lost quoting. Securing a competitive rate meant pulling multiple quotes throughout the day, an inefficient, time-consuming routine.

High costs. Freight was more expensive than it needed to be, with no easy way to compare options side by side.

The Solution

Axiom chose FreightSimple for the pricing, the platform, the service quality, and the reliability. What tipped the decision was cross-border: fast, competitive US to Canada quotes, generated quickly and easily.

Fast cross-border quotes. Quick US to Canada rates, without the back-and-forth.

Compare and book in one place. Multiple carrier options and rates side by side, so the best choice is easy to see.

Competitive pricing. Better rates without sacrificing service.

Results

Since switching, freight has become faster, cheaper, and far more dependable.

• Around 5% lower freight costs. Competitive rates that add up shipment after shipment.
• Faster quoting, less manual work. Around 1 to 3 hours saved a week, no more chasing quotes all day.
• Carrier backup that saves the day. When an original carrier could not meet the pickup or delivery schedule, Axiom used FreightSimple to compare options, secure a competitive rate, and rebook without delay, keeping customers on time.
• Reliable, efficient, hassle-free. The whole shipping process runs smoother, with responsive support when it is needed.

What They Say

Absolutely, I’d recommend FreightSimple to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient freight partner. The platform is easy to use, the rates are competitive, and it makes comparing carriers and booking shipments quick and straightforward. Their team has also been responsive whenever we’ve needed assistance, making the entire process much smoother.
