Find the Transportation Costs Your Current Reports May Not Explain
Carrier invoices show what your company paid, but they do not always show whether the underlying rates, minimums, service choices and operating practices are competitive or appropriate.
CPC evaluates the freight program as a connected system—combining cost, contracts, shipment characteristics, service requirements and operational behavior—to identify opportunities that can be implemented and measured.
Outdated carrier rates or contract terms
Recurring accessorial charges
Unfavorable fuel programs
Dimensional-weight exposure
Unnecessary premium services
Fragmented carrier purchasing
Weak routing compliance
Inefficient mode selection
Assessment scope
What CPC Can Review
The exact assessment should reflect the shipper’s freight profile, available data, customer commitments and operational constraints.
Freight Spend
Cost by mode, carrier, facility, lane, shipment, service level and business unit.
Rates and Contracts
Base rates, minimums, discounts, fuel, accessorials, rate caps and commercial terms.
Shipping Decisions
Carrier mix, routing, service selection, consolidation, mode usage and exceptions.
Operating Performance
Service outcomes, compliance, reporting visibility and selected warehouse processes.
A straightforward process
How the No-Cost Freight Assessment Works
CPC moves from data to an evidence-based opportunity discussion in three clear stages.
Submit Transportation Data
Provide six to twelve months of available shipment or invoice data, current carrier agreements and relevant operating requirements.
CPC can confirm the precise data request before sensitive information is transferred.
CPC Reviews the Program
CPC normalizes the information and evaluates rates, contract economics, carrier mix, modes, routing and other applicable cost drivers.
The scope depends on data quality, freight profile and business requirements.
Review the Findings
Meet with CPC to discuss potential savings, implementation considerations, measurement and recommended next steps.
Your team decides whether and how to proceed with any proposed change.
Practical output
What You Can Expect to Receive
The assessment should give decision-makers a clearer view of the current transportation program and the opportunities worth investigating further—not merely a generic promise that lower rates exist.
Final deliverables will depend on the agreed scope and the completeness of the information provided.

Measured Results, Not Just Projected Opportunity
CPC’s savings claim should be connected to the applicable baseline, engagement scope and measurement period. Link prospects directly to case studies showing the challenge, analysis, implementation and verified result.
Publication requirement: add the verified sample size, date range and definition of “net savings” supporting the 22% statement. If those details cannot be published, use a more narrowly scoped client-case result.
A clearer reason to choose CPC
Independent, Shipper-Side Freight Expertise
Founded in 1998, CPC Consultants evaluates transportation and supply chain performance on behalf of the shipper. This independent perspective matters when a company needs an objective review of carrier rates, contracts, modes, routing and operating practices.
CPC can continue beyond analysis by supporting approved procurement and operating changes, tracking compliance and measuring results against the agreed baseline.
