When we are providing customer specific pricing, the MIQ Logistics carrier management service team will conduct an initial carrier procurement event to identify and qualify carriers to meet our customer’s specific shipping needs, selecting the right carrier mix to best support customer’s operations and service level needs. The MIQ Logistics carrier management team will review shipping data to determine opportunities for improvement and provide consulting and analysis to support customer’s carrier strategy.
Our customers also benefit from MIQ Logistics’ expertise in contract negotiation, not just from an actual rate perspective, but also for consistent pricing methodology, contractual alignment, and normalizing rate templates. MIQ Logistics has adopted an extensive carrier onboarding and qualification process that involves a thorough review of specific safety, legal, and insurance criteria. Following the initial carrier review, MIQ Logistics continues to actively monitor all carriers’ status.
