Re: Using A Direct Carrier not an Interline Carrier

As your DTA auditor and advisor, I am to ensure your carriers are not over billing or asking for payment twice and to highlight opportunities for future cost savings. Attached is such an opportunity.

While auditing your account, I noticed that for shipments from Gardena CA to Springfield OH you used the carrier attached. The collect shipments were billed by the interline carrier and your company received a 55% discount for interline shipments.

I encourage you to consider using an alternative carrier that would take your shipments directly on this lane for future shipments. The rate comparison indicates a savings of $1,836.32.

If you would like us to provide you with more in-depth benchmarking rate comparisons, carrier tendering or any other overall cost reviews, please call or email me as I am always here to help save you time and money.

Kind regards,
