Freight Management-2017
Transportation costs are reduced by leveraging third-party logistics providers (3PL’s), distributor shared savings
programs, redistribution services (ReD), and retarget analysis. Each program requires a comprehensive
evaluation of freight cost where CSCS coordinates lane transitions that result in overall savings to Co-op
members.
