Why should we use DTA for tasks that we currently handle in-house?

Through economies of scale, DTA can do the job better and will cost your company less money. We have been analyzing distribution and transportation costs since 1920 and have evolved over the years to become the experts and leaders in our field.

Reducing and controlling transportation costs is our core competency; and we’re very good at what we do.

  • As professionally trained freight rate auditors, we understand carrier transportation tariffs so we know where to find carrier over charges.

  • We invest heavily in our state-of-the-art computer system that provides our clients (and their carriers) with current data when it is wanted and in a flexible format.

  • Our diverse client base located in Canada and the United States, with companies owned worldwide - gives us the best understanding of North American tariff rules and regulations.

  • Being Canadian-based, we understand things uniquely Canadian such as currency exchange differences and all the Canadian taxes.

  • Our accounting staff understand how important it is to allocate freight charges by general ledger accurately.

  • Because we do this work for many clients in various diverse industries, we are exposed to a broad base of freight rates and shipping patterns

Testimonials

"I have enjoyed working in the Analysis department at DTA for over 21 years. My job is to ensure all fields of data are collected correctly. If the information is not provided from the carrier in electronic format, I must add this information. Our clients then access their information via DTA Dashboards on the DTA website. Our clients are asking us for more detailed information on the accessorial charges such as fuel surcharge, wait time, dangerous goods and these charges are compared to the cost of transporting the goods."
