Common misconceptions when it comes to contracts

"We just renegotiated 6 months ago"
Carriers want you to think this matters. With 14+ price increases this year alone, every change opens new negotiation opportunities.

"You’ll lose your discounts if you push too hard"
‍Reps often warn that challenging carrier pricing could jeopardize existing discounts. In reality, discount structures evolve with every general rate increase and surcharge adjustment. Although it’s not always the optimal time to renegotiate—and repeated or poorly executed attempts can create setbacks—shippers who take a strategic approach maximize their opportunities without risking their current position.

"We have great relationships with our reps"
Personal relationships matter, but your fiduciary responsibility is to your organization. You can maintain relationships AND optimize pricing.

"A 5.9% announced GRI rarely translates to 5.9% increased costs for any specific shipper... but we typically see actual impacts of 8% to 10%, or higher..." - Yaussy
