3PL / Freight forwarder
Find the right partner for your project, without exposing your margin.
The problem
Your margin is the business, and every tool that helps you find partners wants to sit between you and your client. So the good carriers end up in a spreadsheet, the rates in an inbox, and the knowledge in one person’s head.
What changes
- 1
Buy and sell never share a screen
What you pay and what you charge are held apart, and what your customer sees is decided per quote by you. Nothing is exposed by default, because a default that exposes margin is only wrong once.
- 2
Filter by what actually stops a project
UIIA approvals by steamship line, TWIC, terminal access, bonded, CARB, hazard classes by division. Not a tick box that says hazmat, but the class your freight actually is.
- 3
Private lists your carriers never see
Approved, preferred, do not use, with your own note attached. It is your dispatchers' knowledge written down, and the carrier is never told.
- 4
One structure, so two answers can be compared
Line haul, fuel, chassis and accessorials in the same shape from everybody. An all-in number that hides detention is not a lower price, it is a later invoice.

$40 for the first, $30 each from two to ten
Banded, and the table is published: $40 for the first seat, $30 each from two to ten, and above ten there is no list price — we talk. The same price in Guadalajara as in Chicago. DAT is compulsory in this trade and costs a broker between $159 and $499; we are not compulsory yet, so what matters is that one manager can approve this alone instead of convening a committee. The API is included. And the price you sign up at does not rise at renewal.
How you pay
Monthly by card, or annually by bank transfer — with 10% off the twelve months. The transfer option is not an afterthought: a mid-sized company in Mexico or Colombia invoices annually by transfer far more comfortably than it takes a monthly card charge.
The price you sign does not rise at renewal.
