Introducing My Next Carrier — free pre-RFP carrier intelligence for shippers.


Shippers move 90% of parcel volume through carriers that handle it poorly. Only 3% of that volume actually gets rerouted in any given year.

That gap isn't a procurement problem. It's a structural one.

The RFP takes three to six months. It runs on generic rate cards, not your actual shipment history. It doesn't model transit-time risk at the lane level. It treats your incumbent as a fixed point instead of a variable. By the time the process produces an answer, the answer is already stale — and the carriers know it. They price to the friction. The longer the cycle, the less leverage at the table.

Staying still has a cost. It's just paid in margin you can't see.

What we built

My Next Carrier connects to your carrier billing data, rerates your historical shipments against every alternative carrier in the market, and returns a ranked leaderboard of who would have performed better — by lane, by zip code, by service level.

Connect. Rerate. Leaderboard. Activate.

The output isn't a rate card. It's a model of your network as it actually runs, scored against the carriers who could be running it. You see your reroutable volume — the percentage of shipments that could move to a better-fit carrier immediately, without renegotiating a single contract. You see which lanes are bleeding and which ones aren't. You see where your incumbent is winning on price and losing on service, and where it's the other way around.

Days, not months. Your data, not somebody's benchmark.

Who it's for

Shippers running 5,000+ parcels a week, with negotiated carrier contracts and a dedicated logistics team. If you have a VP of Supply Chain or a Director of Last Mile reading this, this is built for them.

The pricing

Free for shippers. Carriers pay a referral fee if you pick them. That's the model. No subscription, no implementation invoice, no consulting retainer underneath it.
