FreightIQ Hosts Webinar – Pricing Smarter: The Changing of the LTL Pricing Landscape

Dallas, TX—January 6, 2022— FreightIQ, a solution within HaulSuite, a leader in LTL optimization solutions, is hosting a webinar, "Pricing Smarter: The Changing of the LTL Pricing Landscape." The free webinar takes place on Tuesday, January 18, 2022, at 12:00 PM EST. Attendees will hear an informative discussion about the changing LTL pricing landscape with insights from the perspectives of a carrier, shipper, and 3PL provider.

“In LTL, pricing can drive or destroy a carrier’s operating margins,” says Lance Healy, VP of LTL Innovations at HaulSuite. “Finding an accurate price that everyone can agree on can be a real challenge, yet more and more carriers are moving away from static tariffs to dynamic pricing models. New technologies are becoming available to help carriers make more accurate and faster pricing decisions.”


Distinguished supply chain professionals will lead the session to discuss the migration to more dynamic pricing, focusing on all parties' concerns, opportunities, and challenges. Is the market ready for more and more shipments to be priced dynamically? A discussion among panelists will center on if and why dynamic pricing changes are necessary and what is driving the change.

Panelists include:
• Lance Healy, VP of LTL Innovations, HaulSuite. Lance has over 20+ years of LTL transportation technology and industry knowledge. He was an early pioneer of carrier-shipper API technology. In his current role, Lance is focused on working closely with LTL professionals to drive new efficiency through smarter technologies.
• Curtis Garrett, VP of Pricing and Carrier Relations, Recon Logistics. A self-proclaimed "student of LTL" with 15+ years in the industry, Curtis is passionate about breaking down silos and building a community amongst LTL professionals.

• Brian Thompson, Chief Commercial Officer, SMC³, oversees sales, marketing, and industry education departments. Before joining SMC³, Thompson worked at YRC Worldwide (Yellow Transportation) for 17 years in various roles but most recently served as VP of pricing and yield management.
