COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Why is cooperation important?
    In the transportation industry, the relationship between carriers and 3PLs is often an adversarial one because they are operating as both competitors and partners while serving the customer. This dynamic is changing through eShipping Exchange, as the carriers are now members and active participants in the Exchange community. Customers enjoy the benefits of working direct with carriers who now have access to transportation management services traditionally only offered by 3PLs. This cooperation not only improves communication, but reduces cost to the customer.
  • How is objectivity achieved?
    The eShipping Exchange model allows carriers to deliver transportation management services direct to their customers, while maintaining the objectivity shippers require in pricing and carrier selection. Our integrity is maintained by housing transportation management services within the independent entity, eShipping Exchange.
  • Why streamline the transportation management process?
    Through eShipping Exchange, carriers are now communicating directly with customers and supplying an arsenal of services to attack the inefficiencies of their supply chain. Through transportation technology, customers may now access a centralized online portal to easily ship and optimize from their carrier base by cost, transit time, and service. Freight audit and bill pay services check each shipment for accuracy, resolve discrepancies, and consolidate shipments into one GL-coded invoice. This streamlining results in $5.00 – $11.00 cost savings per shipment.
  • Are there monetary benefits to using eShipping Exchange?
    Yes. Streamlining the transportation management process removes inefficiencies from and adds savings and profit to the supply chain. eShipping Exchange takes a major portion of those savings that traditionally goes to a 3PL and returns it to the carrier and customer, which enhances the bottom line of both parties.

    Through eShipping Exchange, carriers now have the ability to provide to their clients an array of transportation management services that are typically only offered through 3PLs.
