Transportation Rate Quote / Truck Finding and Booking Process
Saving our customers money by providing the Best Service at the Lowest Cost is the result of a simple process. We provide you with timely, dead on, lane specific, transportation Market Rates for your Truckload and LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipments. Exclusive Representation then enables us to work as an “extension of your traffic department” (looking out for your best interests), to reduce quoted costs even further, via real time carrier negotiations, as we Find and Book trucks for your specific transportation need.
Timely Market Rate Quotes based on research utilizing four key components:
1) A database collected and compiled using information from over 12 million actual freight bills provided by over 100 U.S. carriers, updated monthly, for full truckload movements via Flatbed, Dry Van, and Refrigerated equipment.
2) A second data bank which tracks public load offerings, the pulse of the wholesale market.
3) For large LTL or Partial Loads we will apply our “Rule Of Thumb LTL Discount Guide”.
4) Our own internal research, carrier survey calls for Specialized Loads, and past experience.
Valuable information is what you get in the Duregger Logistics Market Rate Quote:
1) The current Market Rate (MR). An average, dead on, lane specific, fair and reasonable rate, which will be readily recognize as credible, that will get your cargo moved quickly.
2) The Range (Or Spread). We show the High (maximum) andLow (minimum) rates from which the average or current Market Rate derives. This helps provide a feel for the market.
3) Fixed Brokerage Commission (FBC). “Cost Plus” means nothing if you do not know what the “Cost” and the “Plus” is. We show you both. The FBC, contained in the Market Rate Quote Total remains the same (fixed) as we work to lower your total cost by negotiating with interested and available carriers to secure your desired transportation.
4) No Fuel Surcharges or complicated formulas. Rate Simplification is standard. These charges are rolled into our rates which we present in whole numbers.
Greater Savingsare sought when it is time to move your Quoted Shipment:
Duregger Logistics works for you as an extension of your traffic department on a Cost Plus basis. Exclusive Representation allows us to go confidently to the market and shop for lower carrier costs and availability in real time (when we are actively Finding and Booking the carrier for your load) in order to reduce your Total Cost even further. You approve the Rateand the Carrier Booking in real time. You remain in control during the truck Finding and Booking process.
We look for Backhaulers, trucks that want to go where your freight is going. It is our desire to provide you with the best service at the lowest cost. We haul anything to and from all points in North America, long and short haul, regionally and continentally.

LTL RULE OF THUMB GUIDE
FOR DISCOUNT FROM TL RATES
This guide will assist you in rating and quoting LTLfreight (Partials or Partial Loads) in relation to prevailing truckload rates. It isnot meant to be authoritative, or a rate tariff, simply a measure to apply against a Truckload Market Rate for Flatbed, Van or Reefer (driver no-touch, palletized - no exchange). When this guide is used, the probability of having an acceptable rate and finding a carrier interested in hauling the shipment is good.
The guide was developed over years of brokering LTL freight from the Midwest. You may find you will have to develop one peculiar to your region. In either case, having a “rule of thumb” guide speeds the rate quote process and is no more an accurate guide than fixed rate tariffs. TheGuide’s purpose is to provide consistency and effectiveness in the Partial Load rating process.
To use, simply find the appropriate T/L rate and apply the percentage discount to the rate todetermine total dollars of the rate.
Divide the trailer into quarters. Load must meet criteria in each segment to be considered
for the rate percentage.
If it doesn't meet all criteria, rate at the next higher percentage for the given the miles.
< = Less ¼ of a trailer 1/2 of a trailer 3/4 of a trailer

“How Many Brokers Is Enough?”
By Tom Duregger
May I speak candidly with you for a moment? I have an idea about how brokering works best which may be of interest to you. I firmly believe that, through a good working trust relationship between you and your transportation broker(s), you can get the best transportation for the least cost.
Let’s take an example from the real estate industry. How confusing and inefficient it would be to have more than one broker representing the sale of a home at any one time? Can you imagine several different “yard signs” out in front of a house, and interested parties trying to decide which one to call? Then, having several agents trying to schedule “Open Houses” & “Showings” with the seller. Or, worse yet, (from the sellers standpoint) having a great buyer prospect negotiating along with an agent in good faith, and then, finding out that the house had already been sold, perhaps all along? Can you imagine interested buyers working the several agents against one another for the best buy or how the agents would be working the price down or up in order to be the first agent to bring together a deal? This confusion and duplication of activity, for obvious counter-productive reasons, is just not tolerated in the Real Estate industry.
Similarly, in the Truck Finding and Booking Industry (Brokering) the practice of listing the same load(s) with multiple brokers creates this same type of confusion. It happens that some loads are posted (listed) at the same time by several to a dozen or more brokers on the same internet load boards, some with no prices and some with varying prices listed. You can bet, in a hard market (more loads than trucks) with stiff competition for available trucks, that the Carriers will work this scenario to their best advantage working that shipper’s own brokers against each other and many times utilizing their shipper’s highest allowable ceiling price in order to be the one to book the truck first.
This practice sets up a scenario where the shipper’s own load, represented by it’s use of multiple brokers, falsely “increases competition”(hardens the market) for available trucking capacity, actually making it more difficult and less likely for the shipper to obtain the desired best service at the lowest cost. Sometimes the results are fast, but are they cost effective? How many trucks “fall off” of these loads?
The competition for available trucking capacity should only be the freight of othershippers. In a soft market (more trucks than loads) carriers avoid these type of load postings (same load, multiple brokers) preferring to call on the solo (non-duplicate) postings in order to speak with the responsible party (by making one phone call) to see about the load desired, being busy people (now enjoying the superior negotiating position) who have no time for “Shell Games”.
I believe that the best practice towards obtaining the best result is when the Shipper calls upon only one Broker to represent any one given shipment at any one time, working for a fixed (agreed upon) mark up (commission), this broker could then negotiate with the available interested carriers who know that they are dealing with the party which will, eventually, book the load. The interaction becomes less of a shell game and more of a business negotiation and transaction. This broker would also be able to contact back haulers to find out who is or is going to have equipment in the pickup area in the very near future. Also, this approach encourages repeat hauling from these backhaul carriers when they know which trusted broker to contact to satisfy their backhaul needs in the future (for repeat loads) in a given lane. The Shipper, through clear and timely communication with his broker(s), remains in control over each and every load in a cool, calculated fashion, obtaining the best transportation for the least cost. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please let me know how I may best serve you now and into the future.
Sincerely,
Tom Duregger, JTC, President
