Why Revcon Isn’t “Just Another LTL Broker”

When companies look to improve their LTL shipping strategy, the first instinct is often to call a broker. And while traditional LTL brokers absolutely serve a purpose…
Managed transportation is an entirely different model.
At Revcon Logistics, we don’t resell someone else’s rates, we design and manage transportation programs built specifically around your business.
Here’s what that actually means and why it matters for your bottom line.
The Traditional LTL Broker Model
Most LTL brokers operate within a straightforward, transactional structure:
Negotiate blanket rates with carriers
Add a margin to those rates
Resell pricing across multiple customers
Standardize pricing regardless of shipping profile
Provide limited visibility into true carrier costs
This model works well for:
Occasional or low-volume shippers
Businesses with inconsistent freight patterns
Companies prioritizing speed over long-term optimization
But for manufacturers, distributors, and growing mid-sized companies with consistent LTL volume…It often leaves savings, visibility, and control on the table.
Revcon’s Managed Transportation Approach
Revcon Logistics operates on a fundamentally different model.
Instead of plugging your freight into pre-set broker tariffs, we build a customized LTL transportation program based on your unique shipping data, lanes, and operational goals.
1. Customer-Specific Carrier Contracts
We negotiate directly with carriers based on your:
Shipping lanes and frequency
Freight density and class mix
Accessorial patterns
Volume commitments
You’re not grouped into a generic pricing structure.
Your rates reflect your business, not someone else’s.
2. Strategic Carrier Network Alignment
We help you build a core carrier network aligned to:
Transit time expectations
Service performance and reliability
Claims history
Regional strengths
Cost-to-service balance
This isn’t about chasing the lowest rate. It’s about achieving the lowest total cost with the right service fit.
3. Full Visibility and Transparency
With a managed transportation model, you gain complete insight into your LTL spend:
Access to your negotiated carrier contracts
Detailed freight audit and payment reporting
Clear breakdowns of accessorial charges
Real-time shipment visibility
Actionable business intelligence
We’re not just quoting shipments, we’re managing your transportation performance.
4. Sustainable, Long-Term Cost Savings
Here’s the key difference:
A broker focuses on margin per shipment.Revcon focuses on your total transportation strategy.
Through continuous optimization, we analyze:
Mode selection and consolidation opportunities
Shipment density improvements
NMFC and classification accuracy
Accessorial reduction strategies
Carrier performance and routing
Invoice accuracy and billing errors
Contract benchmarking
The result?
Consistent, measurable savings over time, not just short-term rate reductions.
In fact, Revcon clients typically achieve double-digit annual savings on LTL spend through structured optimization and freight audit controls.
Do You Need a Broker or a Transportation Partner?
A traditional broker may be the right fit if your shipping is purely transactional.
But if:
LTL is a significant portion of your transportation spend
You need reporting and visibility for leadership
Cost control and predictability matter
You want transparency into pricing and fees
You expect accountability beyond rate quotes
Then a managed transportation program delivers significantly more value.
Why This Matters in Today’s Freight Market
Today’s freight environment is anything but stable.
With constant shifts in capacity and pricing:
Blanket broker tariffs fluctuate
Margins can expand without visibility
Accessorial charges increase unexpectedly
Reclassifications drive up costs
Claims management becomes reactive
A structured, data-driven transportation program gives you control, not guesswork.
The Revcon Logistics Difference
Revcon isn’t a one-size-fits-all LTL broker, we’re a strategic, data-driven transportation partner.
We negotiate directly on your behalf, audit every invoice for accuracy, and provide ongoing performance reporting to keep you fully informed. Our team reduces your internal workload while increasing cost visibility and control, continuously optimizing your network for long-term success. Most importantly, everything we do is tailored to your business, because your freight isn’t generic, and your transportation strategy shouldn’t be either.
