SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage complex carrier portfolios, reduce freight spend, and protect service reliability by providing a structured playbook for sourcing, negotiating, scorecarding, compliance vetting, and routing guide governance. The Skill addresses fragmented workflows, unclear award criteria, invoice disputes, and operational exposure when capacity tightens or carriers underperform.

Core Features & Use Cases

RFP design & evaluation: Create lane-level bid packages, weight evaluation criteria, and award scenarios that balance cost against service risk.
Carrier scorecards & allocation: Define weighted metrics (OTD, tender acceptance, claims, invoice accuracy) and produce scorecards driving allocation, corrective actions, and exits.
Compliance & onboarding: Walk through FMCSA SAFER checks, insurance validation, and broker bond verification to safely onboard and periodically revalidate carriers.
Operational playbooks: Provide escalation triggers, communication tone, and decision frameworks for consolidation vs. diversification, spot vs. contract, and capacity-squeeze responses.
Use case example: Run a 200-lane TL RFP, benchmark bids against DAT/Greenscreens, generate award tiers, and produce a 30-day implementation checklist with scorecard KPIs.

Quick Start

Create a lane-level RFP package and a carrier scorecard template for the Chicago–Dallas truckload lanes including evaluation weights, required documents, and a 30-day trial plan.

What metrics should a carrier scorecard include for freight allocation?▼

A carrier scorecard should include weighted metrics like on-time delivery, tender acceptance, claims, and invoice accuracy to drive allocation decisions, trigger corrective actions, and manage carrier exits.

How do I run FMCSA SAFER checks for carrier onboarding?▼

Running FMCSA SAFER checks involves walking through compliance validation steps, verifying insurance documents, and confirming broker bonds to safely onboard and periodically revalidate carriers in your portfolio.

What is the best way to benchmark carrier rates against market data?▼

The best way to benchmark carrier rates is comparing submitted RFP bids against DAT and Greenscreens market data, applying accessorial modeling, and generating award tiers to balance cost with service reliability.

How do I build a routing guide with escalation rules for capacity squeezes?▼

Building a routing guide requires defining escalation triggers, communication tone, and decision frameworks for spot versus contract freight, consolidation versus diversification, and capacity-squeeze operational responses.

Can I manage both LTL and intermodal carrier portfolios with this approach?▼

Yes, you can manage both LTL and intermodal carrier portfolios. This approach applies to truckload, LTL, intermodal, and brokered flows for sourcing, rate negotiation, compliance vetting, and routing guide governance.
