Couldn't agree more about transportation costs. It's a huge expense line item for our industry. Which is why SGIA negotiated a 70% discount on YRC LTL shipping and up to 30% on Fedex. Pluse, the YRC ancillary savings really make a difference:
Reduced COD fee: $24 Charge regardless of item price
No single shipment charge: $28.50 savings
No residential delivery charge: $72.00 savings
No delivery notification charge: $32.50 savings
