    2. Estimate freight costs and understand the various details of the cost including taxes and surcharges.

    3. Ensure you get a competitive freight rate and remember to check with new carriers to get better price

    1. Ensure that you understand the expectations of the customer and ensure that a commitment of business is obtained before venturing out to complete the order

    4. Ensure that you have seasonal data and make a detailed plan to handle any inconsistencies that might arise

    5. Look for opportunities in which costs can reduced and periodically review these opportunities to see if there are any new openings.

    6. Bid freight on a regular, predetermined basis (annually, bi-annually).

    7. Track carrier performance against commitments made; this will call attention to undesirable service providers and help reduce their effect.

    8. Capture the business benefits of low cost country sourcing has far out-paced the processes and systems needed to efficiently manage the global supply chain.

    9. After execution, collect key operational metrics to better manage your freight requirements and avoid cost worm holes like invoice accuracy, booking performance and delivery performance.

    10. Pooling was previously considered as the final distribution leg of a cross dock/pool operation. But pooling also stands by itself as a preferred best practice.
