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.

Tailored Logistics. Total Control.
