Carrier Relationship Management

This is codified expertise from transportation managers with 15+ years running carrier portfolios of 40 to 200+ active carriers. It walks you through the full lifecycle: vetting new carriers via FMCSA SAFER checks, structuring RFPs with lane-level data, negotiating rates by decomposing linehaul from fuel surcharges and accessorials, building routing guides in your TMS, and tracking performance with weighted scorecards. The scorecarding section is genuinely useful, it breaks down the five metrics that actually matter (on-time delivery, tender acceptance, claims ratio, invoice accuracy, tender-to-pickup time) with specific targets and red flags. Use it when you're negotiating freight rates, reallocating loads during tight capacity, or running carrier performance reviews.
