MANAGED TRANSPORTATION

Managed transportation.
Your freight desk, extended.

Forza’s managed transportation services bring lane planning, carrier sourcing, shipment execution, and reporting into one coordinated program. Start with a few recurring lanes or discuss your wider network.

WHAT ACTUALLY GOES WRONG

You are running transportation on top of your real job.

Most shippers do not lose money on transportation because they chose badly. They lose it because nobody has the hours to run a bid properly, hold carriers to what they committed to, or notice that a lane started failing six weeks ago.

  • Bids that take weeks you do not have
  • Carriers who win lanes and quietly hand them back
  • Rate and service data spread across inboxes and spreadsheets
  • Nobody accountable when a lane starts to fail
  • Headcount you cannot justify for volume you cannot ignore
  • Reporting that arrives too late to act on

Your program

One team, accountable for the whole thing.

HOW A MANAGED PROGRAM RUNS

We take the desk, you keep the control.

LANES PRICED AND COMMITTED

Rates built against real market data and held for the term, with the coverage commitment in writing.

CARRIER BASE BUILT AND VETTED

Carriers sourced for your lanes and cleared through Forza Shield before they run any of your freight.

DAILY EXECUTION OWNED

Tendering, tracking, appointments and exceptions handled by named people, 24 hours a day.

PERFORMANCE REPORTED

On time pickup and delivery, cost per lane and exception history, sent on a schedule you set.

ESCALATION PATH DEFINED

You know who to call and what happens next, agreed before the first load moves.

LANE REVIEW ON A CADENCE

Rates and service reviewed against the market so a program does not quietly drift out of line.

WHAT WE TAKE ON

As much or as little as the program needs.

Contracted lane programs

Committed lanes with the same trucks running them week after week.

Bid and RFP support

Lane analysis, pricing and response built to your format and your deadline.

Carrier sourcing and vetting

Capacity found and verified for lanes your incumbents will not hold.

Reporting and analytics

Visibility into cost and service that arrives early enough to change something.

WHERE IT STARTS

A conversation about the lanes that are hurting.

Most managed programs at Forza start with two or three problem lanes rather than a full network. We take those, run them properly, and earn the rest. Tell us which lanes are costing you sleep.

Plan your first conversation

What to share for a lane review.

Send your origin and destination locations, weekly shipment volume, equipment needs, pickup and delivery windows, and any recurring service problems. Include temperature requirements or declared cargo value where relevant.

We will discuss the scope, responsibilities, communication expectations, and reporting you need before defining a program.

Refrigerated freight and high-value shipments can have different requirements. Share those details at the start.

Can we start with only a few lanes?

Yes. A discussion can begin with a small group of recurring or problem lanes. The scope depends on your operation and the service requirements.

What does managed transportation include?

The agreed program may cover planning, carrier sourcing, tendering, tracking, appointments, exception handling, and performance reporting. We define responsibilities with you before work starts.
