Carrier Contract & Network Strategy

Know what a contract will truly cost before you sign it.

A carrier contract is more than its headline discount. Surcharges, DIM divisors, and minimum charge floors all shape what you actually pay. Reveel computes every term against your real shipment history, so you walk into the negotiation knowing which terms to push back on and what the deal is truly worth.

Optimize every contract term for your shipping profile.

Your cost lives at the package level, so that’s where Reveel computes. Blended averages produce blended errors. Reveel re-rates every package against every term in the carrier contract; surcharge interactions, DIM thresholds, and minimum charge floors at the shipment level where the real cost lives. The number you see is the number you’ll actually be billed.

With Carrier Contract & Network Strategy, you get:

Optimal carrier mix by service and weight band with total savings versus current state

Negotiate on the terms that actually drive your cost.

A carrier contract is dozens of interlocking terms, including tier thresholds, accessorial rules, DAS zone definitions, minimum charge floors, and they don’t move in isolation. Change one and several others shift with it. Reveel models the full carrier contract as one system, so you see which terms actually drive cost on your freight profile and which ones are unused negotiating leverage, well beyond the headline discount.

FAQs

Yes. Whether it’s a renewal, a brand-new carrier contract, or a GRI landing mid-cycle, Reveel applies the proposed terms to your actual packages so you see the real number before you commit to it, not after the first invoice.

The terms the summary page doesn’t lead with. Tier thresholds, accessorial rules, DAS zone definitions, minimum charge floors, and DIM divisors all interact, and any one of them can quietly outweigh the discount you’re being sold on. Reveel models them together on your freight, so the discount is judged against everything moving underneath it.

It depends on your shipping profile, which is exactly why generic logistics software doesn’t cut it. A minimum charge floor that barely touches one shipper’s packages can dominate another’s. Reveel shows which specific terms drive cost on your shipments, so you negotiate the ones that move your number instead of the ones that sound important.

It gives you the terms to negotiate and the evidence to back the ask. Instead of countering a discount percentage with a gut feel, you go in knowing which terms are costing you, what a change to each is worth on your real volume, and where the carrier has room to give. It turns contract review into a negotiating position rather than a rate check.
