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.

“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
“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
“Transportation Insight is what I call an expertise multiplier. We don’t need to know everything there is to know about logistics because they are always just a phone call or email away. I haven’t stumped anyone on their staff yet.”
- Ray Cirasa, Superior International Industries
“We started using Transportation Insight for our shipping needs in September 2007. 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, our billing has improved. We receive a bill weekly in spreadsheet format. We can use that to do all of our internal studies.”
- Accounting Manager, Sporting Goods
I appreciate Transportation Insight’s patience and willingness to work with you to understand what your company needs.
- Accounts Payable Analyst, Industrial Supplies
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.

Transportation Insight’s reports are the best that I have ever seen. Never seen anything better than the web tools they offer, they are great. The I.T. department is great. Already have referred Transportation Insight and will do it again.
- Office Manager, 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.
