Rate Negotiation, Cost Reduction & Shipper Acquisition for Carrier Operations
The GTC Group provides advisory services to trucking carriers — renegotiating lane rates, reducing insurance and fuel costs through pooled purchasing, and building direct shipper relationships that eliminate broker dependency.
Advisory Services for Trucking Carriers
The GTC Group was founded to address a structural problem in the carrier market: independent and mid-size carriers consistently pay more for insurance, fuel, maintenance, and lane access than their freight volume warrants — because they negotiate individually rather than collectively.
Our team brings senior brokerage and carrier operations experience to every engagement. We audit existing rate structures, renegotiate contracts directly with brokers and shippers, and aggregate purchasing volume across our carrier network to secure fleet-tier pricing on operating costs.
We also maintain a dedicated sales function that builds direct shipper relationships on behalf of our carrier clients — reducing load board dependency and improving per-mile revenue.
Rate Negotiation, Cost Reduction & Revenue Growth
Each service is structured to produce measurable financial impact within the first 30 days of engagement.
Lane Optimization & Rate Renegotiation
We review your existing lane data — routes, rates, broker and shipper contacts — and renegotiate each contract using current market intelligence. No operational disruption. Immediate impact on per-load revenue.
Insurance, Fuel & Maintenance Cost Reduction
We aggregate purchasing volume across our carrier network and negotiate fleet-rate pricing with insurance underwriters, fuel card providers, and maintenance networks. Same coverage. Lower cost.
Direct Shipper Acquisition & Online Presence
Our sales team prospects shippers, negotiates contract rates, and builds direct relationships on your behalf. We also build and manage carrier websites and Google Business Profiles — the digital infrastructure shippers require before awarding freight.
From initial assessment to measurable results in seven days.
