Why would I use a third party transportation firm like MoveFreight, Inc when I can often just call a trucking company directly?
ANSWER-MoveFreight, Inc has contracts in place with several larger and independent carriers all of whom offer us excellent rates that we can pass on to you. Our firm is offered deep discounts by the trucking companies because of the volume of business we are able to bring them. Most of the time you will find that the rate quoted to you by MoveFreight, Inc is less than if you called the carrier direct because of the concept of “economies of scale”. In addition, MoveFreight, Inc deals directly with the carrier for issues such as tracing & tracking, over/short & damages, improperly routed shipments, etc. Since we are in the industry and used to communicating with carriers on a daily basis, we know how to get answers and achieve things that may frustrate the average shipper.
