Freight savings your finance team can verify

Freight is one of the largest costs between your plant and your customer, and one of the hardest to see clearly. We lower it with no upfront fee, and we prove every dollar against a baseline your finance team approves.

Industry data

The freight market your budget faces

Third-party figures from the sources linked under each number. They are not Maximizer Team results and do not predict your savings.

How we're paid

There's no upfront fee. The 14-day review is free. If you go ahead, we're paid only from savings verified on your invoices, so our fee depends on results you can see on your invoices.

Freight cost savings and recovered deductions are tracked and reported as two separate categories of verified savings, never mixed into one total.

Every dollar saved on freight goes straight to EBITDA. To add the same profit through sales, you would need about $4,000,000 in new revenue.

No upfront fees. Paid only from savings verified on your invoices. No obligation. NDA available.

Estimate only. This calculator shows illustrative scenarios based on the numbers you enter. It is not a quote, a forecast or a guarantee of savings, and the scenario percentages are not a Maximizer Team promise. Results are before any advisory fee and before tax. Actual savings depend on your lanes, carriers, contracts and data, and are confirmed only through a review of your invoices. Nothing you type here is stored or sent anywhere unless you choose to submit your email.

What we report

  • IdentifiedOpportunities found in the review, with an estimated size.
  • ImplementedChanges that are in place, and when they took effect.
  • RealizedSavings confirmed on paid invoices against the baseline.

We keep these separate, so a forecast is never reported as a result.

Low effort for your team

The review needs 12 months of freight invoices and your rate files. We sign an NDA where appropriate. You approve every recommendation and every carrier contact before anything changes, and you can keep your current carriers and 3PL.
