In today’s rapidly shifting freight market, organizations managing Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) transportation face rising costs, inconsistent carrier performance, and limited visibility. Many logistics teams are stretched thin, reacting to challenges instead of proactively controlling them.

That’s where a Managed LTL Service becomes a strategic advantage.

At Business Solutions Group, we built our Managed LTL program to give companies a smarter, data-driven, and fully transparent way to reduce costs, strengthen carrier networks, and gain lasting operational confidence—without adding internal workload or budget.

Below is an inside look at how our approach works and why it consistently delivers measurable, sustainable results.

A Strategic, Data-Driven Approach to LTL Optimization

Our process starts with a comprehensive understanding of your current LTL network. Using advanced modeling, market intelligence, and deep freight expertise, we uncover the savings, efficiencies, and risks hidden in your existing operation—often revealing opportunities companies never knew existed.

1. Assessment & Benchmarking

We capture 6–12 months of shipment-level detail to establish a clear financial baseline. This enables full visibility into LTL transportation spend, lane behavior, and carrier patterns. From there:

  • We model scenarios to quantify savings.
  • We identify both immediate and long-term opportunities.
  • We prioritize changes that deliver the biggest impact with minimal disruption.

This transparency becomes the foundation for smarter decisions and stronger negotiation leverage.

2. Carrier Procurement that Protects You Long-Term

Carrier relationships shouldn’t be built on guesswork. Our procurement process combines competitive sourcing with performance-focused contracting to ensure sustained value.

We help you:

  • Secure competitive, multi-carrier rates using advanced bid tools.
  • Reduce reliance on single carriers.
  • Mitigate market volatility through flexible, performance-based agreements.

And most importantly:

All pricing is negotiated in your company’s name.

That means you retain full control, transparency, and ownership of your carrier relationships—today and in the future.

3. Technology-Enabled Execution—Included at No Cost

For organizations needing deeper operational support, we provide a full Transportation Management System (TMS) at no additional cost.

This is typically a $150,000–$250,000 investment—included as part of your engagement with Business Solutions Group.

With this technology, you gain:

  • Real-time shipment execution
  • Automated routing and tendering
  • Predictive analytics and reporting
  • Cost tracking and exception management
  • Dedicated support from our operations team

This end-to-end visibility automates administrative work, reduces risk, and ensures smarter daily decision-making.

4. Continuous Improvement & Governance

Your transportation strategy shouldn’t remain static. Market conditions shift, service levels vary, and business needs evolve.

We help keep your network optimized through:

  • Ongoing KPI tracking
  • Freight audits and re-benchmarking
  • Monthly or quarterly business reviews
  • Regular identification of new cost-saving opportunities

This structure ensures savings are sustained—not just achieved once.

5. A Strategic Partnership, Not a Vendor Relationship

We operate as an extension of your logistics team, providing as much day-to-day support as you need—including shipment execution, track-and-trace, reporting, audits, and claims management.

Our team aligns logistics decisions with your broader business goals:

  • Cost reduction
  • Customer experience
  • Operational efficiency
  • Risk mitigation

This partnership creates a more agile, resilient supply chain that adapts as your business grows.

6. Clear Results & ROI Tracking

Every dollar saved is tracked, validated, and reported through intuitive dashboards that give executives real-time visibility into:

  • Performance vs. baseline
  • Cost reduction impact
  • Carrier performance metrics
  • Savings trends by lane, mode, or region

You always know exactly where your transportation dollars are going—and how much you’re saving.

What Makes Business Solutions Group Different?

Many logistics providers claim to save money. We designed our model so that savings are guaranteed to be clear, measurable, and fully in your favor.

Our Off-Bill Incentive (OBI) Compensation Model

  • You keep 100% of the savings.
  • Our fees are paid directly by carriers.
  • We never appear as a line item on your P&L.
  • Your financial statements reflect clean, verifiable savings—without added cost.

This ensures perfect alignment:
If you don’t save, we don’t get paid.

Executive Summary

Partnering with Business Solutions Group gives you:

  • A full network assessment backed by advanced analytics
  • Competitive, sustainable carrier pricing negotiated in your name
  • A no-cost TMS (a $150k–$250k value) and a dedicated operations team
  • Automated, real-time visibility and execution
  • Ongoing governance to sustain results over time
  • A compensation model that ensures zero P&L impact

The outcome?
Lower costs, stronger carrier relationships, and full control over your LTL network—without adding internal workload or budget.
