How to Save Money on Your Inbound-Freight Program

5. Negotiate lower freight rates. Leverage your volume to get better freight discounts on LTL. Negotiate with your carrier to get reduced minimums, eliminate extra charges and get flat C.O.D. charges.

6. Create visibility. In-transit freight tracking will reduce the time buyers spend confirming shipments with vendors. It also helps to monitor individual carrier performance. So look for carriers who can supply such tracking methods.
