You can’t deny it, a sinking economy, soaring gas costs & having to struggle against manufacturers that are manufacturing in China spells a nightmare for US manufacturers, unless they wake up and do something very different.
Educated companies comprehend that they need to do something very different if they are going to remain competitive, or hope to survive this bloodbath.

The key to their success is outsourcing their transportation management to a logistics firm.
You may be wondering what is a “freight forwarding logistics service”?
Pretend for a moment that you have a group of highly trained transportation specialists that managed your shipping and freight 24/7. But you may say at this point, “That is exactly what I have now.”
I understand what you are saying, but pretend having that same team… but only having to pay them if they save you money on your LTL and truckload expenses. Basically if your transportation team didn’t save you any money that month– then you reimburse them nothing.
Now what does that do to your transportation cost equation? It presents a golden opportunity for your business. A 3pl is only paid on a percentage basis of the money saved for the billing cycle. This gives a 3pl a perfect reason to look out after your best interests.
How Much Money Could A Logistics Service Potentially Save Me?
Were you aware that the typical logistics client saves roughly 34% on their freight expenses after working with a logistics firm?
Think for a moment how much you currently spend on truckloads & LTL freight. Make believe you currently spend $20,000.00 a month on shipping. That adds up to $ 240,000.00 a year. 34% savings would pump an additional $81,000.00 into your business! Here is the important thing to recall , that is only the hard dollar savings thus far. We haven’t even discussed the soft dollar savings from outsourcing personnel & cutting inefficiencies.
