Introducing Our Shippers-Agent Program - Carrier Procurement Services, LLC

An exceptional opportunity to achieve substantial savings on transportation costs!

Carrier Procurement Services, LLC, (C.P.S.) has developed a unique niche within the transportation chain to serve as a “Shippers-Agent” for our clients. By serving as a “Shippers-Agent”, C.P.S. utilizes the same tools and resources that the third party logistics companies use, while eliminating the need for third party logistics and reducing transportation costs by up to 20%.

The secret to our clients success in achieving substantial savings is the implementation of the most advantageous tool that third party logistics companies utilize in order to generate billions of dollars in profit, “the spot-market contract”.

As a “Shippers-Agent” we are our clients eyes and ears in the spot-market. C.P.S. is an independent contractor and limited agent for the Shipper. We are not a regulated “freight broker” which generally is not aligned with either the Shipper or Carrier and acts independently in arranging transportation. C.P.S. does not contract transportation services with Carriers.

Our service is dedicated, directed and limited to assisting our clients in the process of procuring qualified (properly licensed and insured), competent (good safety rating and track record) Carriers in the spot-market, at the lowest possible rate. C.P.S. utilizes the F.M.C.S.A.’s safersys.org website to verify carrier qualifications and safety rating.

In order to achieve maximum savings for our clients we specialize in utilizing our network of over 30,000 Carriers as well as the power and resources of the Internet to procure back-haul Carriers at a greatly reduced rate compared to the head-haul Carriers. This process is designed not only to provide immediate savings in the spot-market; it also allows our clients the opportunity to develop the relationships with spot-market Carriers into a long-term relationship, which reduces our client’s long-term transportation costs. As an added benefit this opportunity to become an established long-term Carrier motivates the Carrier to provide the utmost in transportation services.

We have put together a very simple program that is very non-intrusive and will compliment your current Carrier procurement and selection process, while providing a substantial savings to your organization.

The best part of our program is the fact that there is absolutely “zero” out of pocket expense to our clients, no start up fees, monthly fees, annual charges not even a transaction fee. We earn our commissions based solely on the savings that we generate for our clients. While our research shows that the agents for third party logistics companies earn up to 75% of the profit that the companies generate, our position from the onset was to create an unprecedented opportunity for our clients to reduce their transportation costs. To accomplish that goal, our commission is based on a 50/50 split of the savings that are realized by our clients. While our goal is to generate at least a 10% savings to our customers, we have set a $100.00 minimum savings level. In order to operate at this margin, we invoice our clients via email, on Monday of each week, for all completed “Carrier Requests” from the previous week, the week will run from Sunday through Saturday. Payment is due in full upon receipt of invoice and payment must be received within seven days of the invoice date.

In order to fully benefit from our program and achieve the maximum in savings it is essential that our clients utilize C.P.S. as the first step in their carrier procurement and selection process. Before you begin your normal carrier selection process, which involves calling your regular Carrier and paying regular price, (or in most cases, having to make multiple calls to carriers resulting in increased cost with each call…) simply call C.P.S. first (allowing us as much lead time as possible) and we will go out into the spot-market, locate a qualified Carrier and get you the best rate available.

Step 1 Let us know exactly what your needs are, your normal rate and a time period that we have to work on finding you the right Carrier at the right price. We will utilize our database of over 30,000 Carriers as well as the power and resources of the Internet to find, qualify and negotiate rates with Carriers on your behalf.

Step 2 You provide us with your “Carrier Packet” and we will facilitate the transfer of information and documentation. We will verify the Carrier’s credentials and provide you with a qualified Carrier and Carrier file that will meet or exceed the service level required for your shipment. We will negotiate the Carrier’s rates utilizing a spot-market-bidding process in order to take full advantage of the lowest possible transportation rates. Our goal is to achieve a minimum 10% saving for each shipment.

Step 3 Once we have finalized the negotiations with the Carrier and verified that all documentation required by both parties is complete and in order, we will forward the Carriers file to you along with a completed Carrier Request Form.

Step 4 At this point our function is complete, the Carrier will be in direct contact with you. You select the Carrier for the movement and you provide the Carrier with a rate confirmation and dispatch instructions. You have control of the shipment from start to finish.

In the rare occasion that we are unable to find an acceptable Carrier within the allotted time period, then we will notify you and you can proceed with your regular Carrier selection process. Nothing gained, nothing lost, so to speak, due to our no risk policy, stating unequivocally that if C.P.S. fails to fulfill a Carrier request that there will be no charge for the time and resources that C.P.S. spent attempting to fulfill the request.

C.P.S. understands and appreciates the fact that in today’s marketplace it takes seasoned professionals that have successfully demonstrated the skills and attributes that are required to achieve the goals and objectives that Shippers require. With over twenty years experience in the transportation industry, we have acquired our skills and knowledge through hands-on and management experience in shipping and receiving, local and over the road trucking, logistics, freight bill auditing and payments and third party logistics. C.P.S. has established a solid reputation of providing the utmost in transportation services, (based on service, honesty and integrity), to a wide variety of Shippers and Carriers, from single location facilities to Fortune 500 companies with multiple locations, working with owner operators, small, medium and nationwide fleets.

We have proven the fact that it makes a lot of sense, and saves a lot of dollars simply by allotting a little time to allow your “Shippers-Agent”, C.P.S., to explore all your options before deciding to pay normal price or to follow the procedure of simply calling the next Carrier on the list, which definitely cost you more.

Establishing C.P.S. as a limited “Shippers-Agent” dedicated solely to procuring qualified spot-market Carriers at rock bottom prices for our clients in conjunction with our minimal fee structure, allows C.P.S. to operate in a niche that provides an unparalleled and unprecedented opportunity for Shippers. The opportunity to utilize the same tools and resources that the third party logistic companies utilize to generate billions of dollars in revenue into an opportunity for Shippers to equally reduce their transportation costs by billions of dollars.
