But if you want a more birds-eye view, look beyond the base rate and consider the total landed cost.<\/p><p>The total landed cost includes the base rate as well as any additional expenses from hidden cost drivers. Common issues that can drive up freight costs can include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Less-than-ideal routing decisions:<\/strong> While some routing constraints are tied to broader supply chain design (like sourcing or warehouse locations), there\u2019s still room for optimization. When loads are routed inefficiently, it can lead to longer transit times, higher fuel costs, and increased asset wear for carriers, all of which can affect future rates and service levels.<\/li><li><strong>Low-performing lanes:<\/strong> Likewise, low-performing lanes can result in unreliable deliveries and higher transportation costs. These lanes often mean higher fuel costs, operational headaches, and additional wear on vehicles and other equipment for carriers\u2014and those costs often get passed on to shippers.<\/li><li><strong>Poor carrier service levels:<\/strong> Late deliveries, excessive dwell time, and other forms of poor carrier performance can result in missed deadlines, chargebacks, detention fees, and poor customer relationships, all of which can cost your business.<\/li><li><strong>Empty miles or capacity mismatches:<\/strong> Mismatched capacity and poor backhaul planning can cause your business to pay for unused trailer space, waste carriers\u2019 time and fuel, and lose out on opportunities for more efficient load planning, driving up overall freight spend.<\/li><li><strong>Inconsistent procurement strategies:<\/strong> Without a <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bfldr.com\/8CX31GU6\/as\/8j9v3gbsn8bq7fg5sm3zb4\/Industry_Intelligence_Guide_DataDriven_Procurement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consistent procurement strategy<\/a>, it becomes difficult to leverage your shipping volume for better rates, strategically leverage the spot market, consolidate freight across lanes for efficiency, and build strong relationships with high-performing carriers. Over time, this can lead to inflated costs, unpredictable service, and missed opportunities for optimization.<\/li><\/ul><p>Between all these hidden freight cost drivers, things quickly add up. By collecting and analyzing data, you can identify patterns, discover inefficiencies, <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bfldr.com\/8CX31GU6\/as\/t7fnfbjpfmcgbq87t87tm8h\/DATSolution_RetailDive_Infographic_Design_FNL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make smarter decisions<\/a>, and gain a better understanding of the full cost picture, even in the face of market volatility.

times, and damaged goods. You may also encounter inefficiencies like suboptimal routing, empty miles, and low-volume or low-performing lanes that could increase your cost per shipment. On top of that, having inconsistent procurement strategies or underutilized contracts can contribute to your overall freight cost. While these costs aren\u2019t reflected in the base rate, they can add up quickly and impact freight cost reduction efforts.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-6602\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-6602\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How can data help reduce overall shipping costs?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-6602\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-6602\"><p>Quality freight data can help you reduce your overall shipping costs by providing the visibility needed to make smarter, more cost-effective decisions. With the right insights, you can pinpoint underperforming lanes, missed backhaul opportunities, empty miles, and detention time. Comparing your rates to the overall market helps flag overpriced lanes and strengthens your negotiation position. Plus, you can time bids more strategically, proactively renegotiate contracts, and optimize routing based on the current supply and demand.
