What Is Rate Negotiation

Rate negotiation is the process of communicating directly with brokers and shippers to secure the highest possible payment for hauling a load. It takes more than quoting a number, it takes knowledge of market trends, timing, negotiation tactics, and a deep understanding of carrier value. It means fighting for fair compensation and pushing back against lowball offers.

And that’s exactly what we do at Extreme Dispatch.

Why Professional Rate Negotiation Matters More Than Ever

In today’s freight market, prices fluctuate by the week, the region, and even the day. One poor-paying load can drag down your entire week’s profit. That’s why skilled rate negotiation is not optional, it’s essential.

With us in your corner, you’ll benefit from:

  • Better RPM (Rate Per Mile)
  • Higher gross revenue per week
  • Accessorial pay (detention, layover, TONU, etc.) negotiated upfront
  • Less downtime chasing better loads

We don’t just help you find loads, we help you find profitable ones.
