CzarLite® | The Base Rate Standard for LSPs

LSPs choose most widely used LTL base rate in North America

Evaluating multiple carriers for your customers’ less-than-truckload shipments is like comparing apples to oranges unless you start with a neutral, benchmark rate. CzarLite® from SMC³ is the industry benchmark for thousands of LTL contracts that account for billions of dollars in managed transportation each year.

Providing unrivaled accuracy and usability, the CzarLite® family of base rates empowers LSPs to:

• Negotiate across carriers and on behalf of multiple customers using the same base rate system to ensure total pricing visibility
• Quickly evaluate the impact of carrier rate adjustments, discounts and FAK classifications
• Manage both traditional classification-based and density-based shipment pricing to adapt to global business standards
• Streamline LTL rate negotiations by reducing or eliminating the need for ambiguous discount structures
• Easily access and integrate benchmark rates into your business systems and technology platforms
