A New Approach to Primary Motor Freight

Examine the true cost of annual transportation procurement and freight contracts, and how they fail to deliver on the promises of reliable service and lower, predictable costs.


The RFP is a cornerstone of primary freight procurement. At the same time, the RFP process takes months to complete and costs millions in operational expenses each year. The challenges of running RFPs and managing contracts are well known to all parties involved.

In this white paper, we examine the true cost of annual transportation procurement and freight contracts, and how they fail to deliver on the promises of reliable service and lower, predictable costs.

We then introduce Convoy Guaranteed Primary, a new approach to primary freight that can save shippers millions of dollars annually while providing 100% tender acceptance, all without an RFP.

Guaranteed Primary eliminates the win-lose dynamic of traditional RFPs, providing shippers with:

  • A low fixed margin: up to 50% lower than the industry average
  • 100% tender acceptance: get dynamically generated pricing prior to tendering, with 100% tender acceptance
  • Unparalleled transparency: view our truck costs, margins, and more on every shipment and receive a monthly insights report with your estimated savings
  • Peace of mind: try it risk-free across any number of lanes and cancel at any time
