Benchmarking (Freight)
Freight benchmarking is the process of comparing a company’s freight costs and performance against external market references or industry peers. This can be done per lane, per ton, per shipment, or per km.
Why it Matters: Benchmarking reveals whether rates are competitive or inflated. It also uncovers inefficiencies by highlighting hidden extras such as urgent shipments or penalties. With accurate benchmarks, procurement can negotiate more effectively and align costs with market reality.
