We Negotiate Your Carrier Rates. You Do Nothing.
FreightSimple handles carrier rate negotiation end-to-end for premium customers. Your rates come down and you don't lift a finger.
Your Freight Rates Could Be Significantly Lower
Most shippers pay more than they need to because they don't have the time, carrier relationships, or data to negotiate effectively.
We reach out to carriers that are the right fit for your specific business and lanes
Multiple rounds of analysis, negotiation, and refinement before anything goes live
Post-launch monitoring, reporting, and periodic renegotiation
A Full-Service Negotiation Process
Carrier Selection
We identify 10-20 carriers that are the right fit based on your lanes, freight types, volumes, and requirements.
Data Presentation
We present your shipment history, locations, commodities, special services, requirements, and photos to each carrier. Everything they need to price competitively.
Account Setup
We handle account setup, billing arrangements, and any paperwork with each carrier on your behalf.
Rate Negotiation
We analyze each carrier's pricing proposal in detail: tariff terms, CWT rates, lane discounts, accessorial costs, and many other factors. We identify improvements and go through multiple rounds of negotiation to get the best possible rates.
Go-Live Preparation
We validate and test pricing before going live. Nothing goes into production until we're confident the rates are right.
Ongoing Monitoring
After launch, we run reports, monitor performance, and periodically go back to carriers for adjustments. This is not a one-time event.
Built for This
FreightSimple has dedicated freight analysts and layers of technology purpose-built for carrier negotiation.
Managing individual relationships with 10-20 carriers, analyzing proposals, running multiple rounds of negotiation, monitoring post-launch performance. It's a lot of work, and it's not your core business.
FreightSimple has built the systems, tools, and expertise to do this efficiently. For the customer, it's zero effort. Your rates come down and you don't lift a finger.

Saia What We Need From You (It's Not Much)
Letters of Authorization
Some carriers require a digitally signed LOA before we can negotiate on your behalf. We handle the paperwork. You just sign.
Shipping History
Share as much shipping history as you can, ideally with pricing info. That gives us targets to work towards and strengthens our negotiating position with carriers.
Run Your Quotes Through FreightSimple
Quote all your lanes through our system, even ones you book elsewhere. More quote data gives us better leverage when negotiating with carriers.
How Long Does This Take?
Here's a typical timeline. The exact duration depends on the number of carriers and complexity of your freight.
Kickoff and Data Gathering
We collect your shipping history, LOAs, lane details, and any special requirements. We identify the right carriers to approach.
Carrier Outreach and Account Setup
We present your data to 10-20 carriers and set up accounts. Carriers review your freight profile and prepare initial pricing proposals.
Review Initial Proposals
We review the initial pricing proposals, identify further improvements, and go back to carriers for additional rounds of negotiation.
Go Live
We validate and test all pricing, then enable carriers in your account. You start seeing your new rates in quotes immediately.
Ongoing Optimization
After launch, we monitor performance and periodically renegotiate. Expect periodic check-ins and rate refreshes as your business evolves.
