Freight Benefits and Features You Won’t Find Elsewhere

Here’s Some Interesting Info About Freightera’s Unmatched Perks, Features, and 5-Star Client Care

The world of freight shipping is ever-changing and ever-evolving. Which is why you, the customer, need a simple solution with good client care, backed by real people. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

Whether you’re a small business owner looking for cost-effective solutions or a logistics manager looking for reliable freight options, these are perks and features that you won’t find anywhere else. 

Instant Freight Quotes: Quick, Easy, Reliable, and Transparent

One of the most time-consuming steps in the shipping process is getting freight quotes. Our platform provides instant, all-inclusive quotes for thousands of lanes across North America. We pride ourselves in being the Expedia for freight. Instead of waiting hours, or even days, to receive a quote from a traditional broker, you can get competitive rates in seconds. Booking your shipment takes only minutes.

With Freightera, there are no hidden fees or surprises. Our transparent pricing model includes all necessary costs, so what you see is what you pay, as long as you booked your shipment correctly. This level of clarity helps you plan your budget without having to worry about unexpected charges.

Dynamic and Standard Freight Pricing: Tailored to Your Needs

We offer two pricing models to suit different shipping needs and scenarios: dynamic pricing and standard pricing.

• Dynamic Pricing: Rates adjust in real-time based on market conditions, demand, and carrier availability. This ensures you always receive the most competitive pricing for your shipment.
• Standard Pricing: Fixed, all-inclusive rates that go through minimal changes over time, usually caused by fuel prices. This option is perfect for businesses that value predictability and prefer to lock in rates ahead of time.

This flexibility ensures that our clients always have competitive pricing options available to them based on demand, industry trends or fluctuations, and transport availability.

Sustainability

We’re proud to lead the way in green freight shipping and to help your business reduce emissions, all the while saving on shipping costs. How, you may ask? Our platform allows you to identify and book shipments with carriers that prioritize lower emissions. These are usually rail carriers or road transporters with more modern and efficient fleets, which allows them to offer competitive rates while reducing emissions.

Some of our green freight initiatives include:

• Partnerships with carriers that utilize electric and hybrid trucks.
• Providing rail freight options, which are significantly more eco-friendly than traditional trucking. USA’s Rail network (passenger and freight) accounts for only 0.5% of its GHG emissions.
• Insight into carriers who reduce emissions compared to the industry standard which allows you to make an informed decision.

Freightera’s commitment to sustainability isn’t just good for the planet — it’s good for business. Many companies find that going green aligns with their corporate social responsibility goals and appeals to eco-conscious customers.

Rate Defense™

One of our most unique and client-centric features is our Rate Defense™ program. Shipping is tricky and not all parties play it fair all of the time. That’s why our Rate Defense™ protects you from unfair carrier charges. Value added services are one thing: When you or your client requests an additional service, it’s only fair to pay the carrier.

However, when an additional charge is added to your invoice without your request, knowledge, or approval, we’re here to protect you.

This feature is particularly valuable for businesses that are new to freight shipping and might be susceptible to unfair additional charges. 

Peace of Mind

Exceptional client care isn’t a bonus, it’s a necessity for any business or industry, especially one as complex as ours. Our dedicated team of freight experts goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are met and that every shipment runs smoothly. Here’s how we stand out:

• Proactive Communication: We don’t just wait for problems to arise, our operations team actively monitors shipments and makes sure you’re informed of any issues that can realistically be spotted ahead of time.
• Personalized Assistance: Whether you need help choosing the best carrier, help with your customs documentation, getting a complicated quote manually (old-school), or if your shipment encountered a problem, we’re here to help!
• Availability: Our client care team is available through multiple channels, including phone, email, and live chat, so that you can reach out in a way you’re most comfortable with.

Simplified Cross-Border Shipping

Shipping freight across borders can be a logistical nightmare, with complex customs requirements, fluctuating rates, and unexpected delays. Freightera makes cross-border shipping between Canada and the United States easy. We provide:

• A Wide Range of Carriers and Partners: This gives you access to competitive rates for cross-border lanes.
• Reliable Service: Partnerships with trusted carriers experienced in cross-border shipping, backed by our team of experts who are here to help every step of the way.
• A Reliable Partner Broker: who will be able to help you with any clearance questions or issues you may have.

By removing the guesswork from your shipping experience, you can save time and avoid costly mistakes when shipping internationally.

Quality and Choice

We work with hundreds of reputable carriers across North America to give our customers access to an extensive network of LTL, FTL, and intermodal options.

Unlike traditional freight brokers that work with a limited number of carriers, our platform allows shippers to choose from multiple options based on price, transit time, service quality, and even emissions reduction. This flexibility ensures you always find the best solution for your specific needs.

Designed for Simplicity

There are plenty of complex issues and paperwork in freight shipping, so we feel that navigating freight platforms shouldn’t feel like rocket science. Our system is designed to be intuitive and to make it easy to compare rates, and book shipments in minutes. Features like the address book, favorite quotes and lanes, instant requoting, and real-time tracking make managing freight as simple and stress-free as can be.

For tech-savvy businesses, our API integrations allow seamless connectivity between Freightera and your existing systems.
