How the TLI Savings Analysis Works
Most brokers ask you to switch first and hope for the best. TLI flips that: we show you the number before you commit.
- Send Us Your Data: Share your current lane history, volumes, and carrier rates (a simple report export or spreadsheet works fine, no special format required).
- We Launch a Live Carrier RFP: TLI runs your specific lanes through a competitive RFP with our vetted Midwest carrier network: dry van, flatbed, temp-controlled, and LTL capacity across the region’s major freight corridors.
- Results Go Through Our Rating Engine: Every carrier response is scored in our proprietary rating engine alongside your current spend, so you’re comparing real, apples-to-apples numbers, not estimates.
- You Get a Savings Projection: We deliver a clear breakdown: current cost vs. projected cost under TLI, by lane, by mode, and in aggregate. You decide from there.
There’s no charge and no obligation to move freight to run this analysis. Most Midwest shippers are surprised by how much visibility they get out of it, even before making a decision.

Why Midwest Shippers Choose TLI
The Midwest sits at the center of the country’s freight network: Chicago, Columbus, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Detroit, and St. Louis anchor some of the busiest freight corridors in North America, including I-80, I-70, I-94, and I-65. That shipping density means more carrier competition, more capacity options, and more room to negotiate, if you have the right 3PL partner running the process. TLI’s Midwest carrier network serves manufacturing, automotive, building materials, and industrial freight, all the industries that move through this region every day. Our RFP process is built around that regional carrier depth, so the savings projection you get back reflects real, available capacity, not theoretical rates.
Shipping FAQ
Typically 6–12 months of lane history with volumes and current rates. More history means a more accurate projection, but TLI can work with what you have.
No. The shipping analysis is free and comes with no obligation to move your freight to TLI.
Most Midwest shippers see a completed savings projection within 4–6 weeks of submitting data, depending on lane complexity and carrier response time.
That’s a valid outcome, and the analysis will show it. Some shippers use the process to validate their current program, then take advantage of TLI’s audit, claims, and TMS services separately.
