Logistics Solutions for Distributors
Sourcing and Qualification
Finding the right freight partner can be difficult, especially when shipping Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight, heavy home delivery or small parcel delivery. We can help you find the right shipping modes and lanes for your distribution channels, giving you the right-sized option today with growth options for tomorrow.
RFQ Management
Because of our relationships with hundreds of freight carriers nationwide, companies pay attention when we write a Request for Quote. We’ll help you get in front of your choice of carrier, secure the most competitive pricing, and negotiate the best contract you can get.
Contract and Rate Administration
We help you read the fine print, making sense of master contracts to ensure you get the right level of service. As product leaves warehouses, we’ll help you audit the freight bills to ensure you’re only paying for what departs your facility and arrives at the customer’s location.
Claims Management and Tracking
When your items get damaged during shipment and can’t be sold, is your team prepared to spend hours filing and tracking claims? Leveraging our unique expertise, we not only begin the claims process, but we follow it through to resolution – ensuring you get paid.
Analytics, Reporting and Analysis
With hundreds of clients ranging in size, our data analysis helps you understand industry trends, allowing you to make data-driven business decisions. Our proprietary reporting systems give you complete transparency, helping you identify opportunities as they arise.

The reports are great, the savings are great, and the people are great to work with!
- CFO, Industrial Supplies
Transportation Insight’s I.T. department is incredible. The reports they can provide are mind boggling. They are not a typical 3PL where they come in and setup your carriers; instead, Transportation Insight works with us like a partnership, constantly working with us to improve and come up with new tools.
- VP of Warehousing, Food Products
Our company used to manage all of our own tariffs with LTL and parcel and the accounting department was handling the entire audit. We turned over the work to Transportation Insight because we get better rates and they are able to simplify our accounting processes as well. I have been working very closely with our account manager from Transportation Insight for over two years and he really makes my life easier.
- Director of Product Management, Distributor
“Transportation Insight is a cut above other providers in the parcel logistics space because of their high attention, proactive, in-depth approach to account management. They have deep parcel industry expertise and expansive data analysis capabilities. At every touchpoint, the TI team working with us is very knowledgeable and attentive to our very complex needs. Many providers act more as vendors, throwing information ‘over the wall,’ but our relationship with Transportation Insight is a true business partnership.”
- Senior Manager, Global Transportation , Walgreens
I am very impressed with Transportation Insight’s responsiveness.
- Executive Vice President, Furniture & Accessories
“Every component of the Transportation Insight solution has proven invaluable as Rotary continues to grow its customer base, deliver shipments on time with excellence, maintain an industry-leading fill rate, mitigate increasing supply chain costs and remain the market leader in the outdoor power equipment replacement parts industry.”
- Donald Fountain, Rotary Corporation
What impresses me so much is that Transportation Insight never faltered from what they said they would do at the start of the business relationship. Everything that they said they would do, they did! There were no smoke & mirrors.
- VP of Finance, Marketing & Promotion
Due to the markets we serve along with the customers and products produced, we are comprised of numerous highly autonomous companies with various transportation requirements. Transportation Insight has provided the functional expertise to successfully manage these various freight activities in an organized and professional manner, customized to meet each company’s needs. Making it a point to understand the unique requirements of each business, Transportation Insight has personally met with company personnel to explain the processes involved, providing the evidence to substantiate the recommendations, and the financial analysis validating the results. Transportation Insight has met their pledge of providing each company the best solution at the most competitive price while continually monitoring and measuring performance to identify improvement opportunities. I view the association with Transportation Insight as a collaborative long-term relationship that should continue to strengthen and grow through mutual trust and the shared value received.
- Director of Supply Chain Management, Aerospace
We started using Transportation Insight for our shipping needs in September 2007. I was very impressed from the start. We were shown the potential savings, both in money and labor hours. We have met those savings. I was impressed with the negotiating team that came to negotiate with our chosen companies. Once we were online with Transportation Insight, the billing was much better. We receive a bill weekly in spreadsheet format. We can use that to do all of our internal studies. The people we have been in contact with are very helpful. We have received our bills as we requested and the issues are dealt with promptly. Our special requests for information have been answered quickly and thoroughly. I highly recommend Transportation Insight for their professionalism, accuracy and ease to work with.
