Inbound and Outbound Freight Management
Inbound programs are exceedingly difficult to get right. Tucker is accomplished at designing and managing inbound programs that work.
In manufacturing, there is almost as much freight (raw materials and supplies) coming into the facility as there is finished product going out. The fact is many companies depend on their vendor to price and manage their inbound freight. Freight gets buried in the “delivered price.”
In today’s freight world of LTL rates, when you compare a zero discount to a 75% discount, you get a 400% higher freight bill.

Outsourced, Dedicated or Contract Freight Management
In recent years, more and more of our customers have approached us to manage projects such as inbound freight, or to be the dedicated service provider on a portion of business. To learn more about Tucker's
Contract Freight Management.
Some have asked us to handle all of their truckload, all LTL, or, in some cases, all their freight entirely. In almost every one of these cases, the traffic manager or distribution manager felt overburdened with other responsibilities and chose to outsource the job of calling trucking companies and chasing drivers, to allow more time for other responsibilities.
Tucker Company Worldwide offers tailored programs with benchmarked savings reports. Usually there is no cost besides the freight invoices for shipments. In almost every case, we offer freight savings over current freight rates. Furthermore, we document our savings each month; you get detailed and customized reporting which meet the goals of your program.
At Tucker Company Worldwide, we don’t just “set it up”, we manage every shipment and provide complete management and financial reports.
Call your Tucker Company Worldwide representative for more information on Contract Freight Management.
