Case studies

Programs built for cargo that cannot fail.

Four engagements, four industries, one accountable advisor. Each program below shipped with a documented challenge, a built approach, and a measured result — the same standard every client receives.

Electroplating hazmat corridorPlating & electrolysis

Electroplating hazmat corridor

Challenge

An electroplating operation moving hazmat plating solutions between regional tank lines had no standardized carrier vetting, and racked up recurring DOT compliance flags.

Approach

We built a hazmat-certified carrier pool, a documented DOT paperwork standard for every load, and a sequenced replenishment schedule tied to tank-line throughput.

Result

Zero hazmat compliance citations across 18 months of monitored shipments.

Harvest surge capacity programAgricultural

Harvest surge capacity program

Challenge

A grain shipper had no standing carrier commitments heading into harvest season, forcing it onto the spot market at peak prices every year.

Approach

We negotiated pre-season capacity agreements with a qualified carrier bench and built a dynamic dispatch schedule tied to real-time yield forecasts.

Result

Harvest-season freight costs dropped 22% against the prior three-year average.

-22% harvest freight cost
Food-grade custody protocolPlastics

Food-grade custody protocol

Challenge

A food-grade plastic resin shipper's totes required strict chain-of-custody, but there was no formal wash-and-seal verification standard between loads.

Approach

We wrote a wash-certification and seal-verification protocol with a documented audit trail logged at pickup, transit, and delivery for every load.

Result

The shipper's next food-safety audit passed with zero chain-of-custody findings.

Zero audit findings
Managed carrier bid & plant relocationIndustrial

Managed carrier bid & plant relocation

Challenge

A capital equipment manufacturer needed a 38-lane carrier bid and a permitted rigging plan for a plant relocation, with no internal team to manage either.

Approach

We ran a 92%-coverage bid across all 38 lanes with benchmark-backed awards, then coordinated permitted-load rigging and scheduling for the relocation itself.

Result

Removed 14% of accessorial spend from the network while holding service levels through the move.
