Contract Engineering

Most shippers don't need a new carrier. They need a better agreement.

For high-volume parcel shippers with existing major-carrier agreements, we engineer stronger deals — built around your real shipment profile, not last year's projections.

Why it matters

Carrier agreements drift. Your spend pays for it.

A contract negotiated 18 months ago was modeled on different volumes, lanes, and service mix than you ship today. The gap between that agreement and reality is leaking money — quietly, invoice by invoice.

Drift

Profile has shifted

Your service mix, weight breaks, and lanes have evolved. Your contract terms haven't kept up.

Surcharges

Accessorials compounding

Residential, DAS, signature, dimensional, fuel — surcharges quietly compound across thousands of shipments.

Tiers

Misaligned incentives

Volume thresholds and minimum charges modeled on yesterday's volume, not today's.

What we analyze

A structured look at every leverage point in your agreement.

Our analysis isn't a surface-level rate review. We model your actual shipment data against every leverage point that affects what you pay.

  • Minimum charges across services
  • Accessorial discounts — residential, DAS, signature, dimensional
  • Fuel surcharge impact
  • Residential and delivery area exposure
  • Dimensional weight impact
