Transportation Spend

Choosing the lowest rate from a logistics provider is rarely the best way to reduce spend. In reality, focusing too much on low transportation rates may cause downstream expenses in your supply chain.

ArcBest® branch managers Tim Kolb, James Williams and Terry Freeze discuss this topic and offer tips for reducing your transportation spend in the “Shipping’s Hidden Costs and How to Avoid Them” white paper. 

This paper explains:

• What problems you may face by prioritizing low transportation rates
