New Shipping Platform Looks to Eliminate Markups on Freight Rates

FreightConnections, a Wisconsin-based Internet company, recently launched their online shipping marketplace with the intent to cut out all markups associated with freight transportation. The primary goal of FreightConnections is to reduce the cost of shipping. Existing online freight sites are typically dominated by third parties (brokers, 3PLs and freight forwarders), and therefore contain the markups of 20% or more that come with brokered loads and shipments. FreightConnections has no markups. - January 30, 2013
