Real Freight Reality Checks
These examples are based on actual Freight Reality Checks completed by GMN using real shipment data. Names and identifying details have been removed for confidentiality.
Case Study #1: When Weight Alone Led To The Wrong Transportation Assumption
Challenge:
A shipment over 150 pounds was automatically assumed to be an LTL shipment.
Discovery:
After evaluating receiver capabilities, packaging configuration, transportation alternatives and business objectives, another option delivered a better result.
Business Impact:
• Better cost certainty
• Faster invoicing
• Better shipment visibility
• Reduced surcharge exposure
Case Study #2: The Shipment Wasn't The Real Problem
Challenge:
A business wanted help evaluating a freight quote.
Discovery:
The transportation rate turned out to be only one small piece of a much larger operational challenge involving paperwork, scheduling, vendor requirements and production continuity.
Business Impact:
• Better visibility into risks
• Better shipment coordination
• Reduced operational disruption
• Improved decision making
