DTA - Freight Analysis

Advice and Negotiation

DTA can claim many things, and one that many of our competitors can’t is that we have been around a long time. People are always surprised to learn that the company was established in 1920 (see DTA’s History). Through these years we’ve seen competitors come and go. We remain because of our old-fashioned ethics and values – give our clients (and their carriers) the service they expect and delight them with so much more.

We separate ourselves from the others through the value-add features that many others don’t bother doing. One of the most powerful of these offerings is our Advice and Negotiation services.

1 – 2% of anything can be perceived as little or a lot. The numbers don’t look that big, but when they apply to freight expenditure – it’s better to have that rightful cash in your company – not with the carrier. That’s what DTA finds through it freight audit services. And the database that DTA continues to grow is a goldmine when it comes to freight rate comparison, benchmarking shipping practices and determining a fair price.

DTA positions itself as being pro-active to monitoring freight expense and takes on many activities to ensure each client is paying marketplace prices. This is done through:

• tendering business on a regional basis

• establishing the weight break to separate a courier versus LTL shipment

• creation of routing guides for each shipping location

• reducing carriers - encouraging volume discounts to get better rates

• tracking shipments through non-compliance reporting

• educating our clients to ship wiser

DTA Case studies are only the formal reported activities that DTA performs. Every day, through our hands-on approach, we are finding opportunities that save of clients millions of dollars every year. Let us conduct a free review of a sample of shipments to see what your company is missing.
