73% of shippers say on-time delivery is their top priority. Only 38% Prioritize Paying for It.
You can’t demand performance… if you’re not willing to invest in it!
The same companies that demand on-time, damage-free freight...
are often the ones choosing carriers based only on the lowest bid.
📊 According to recent industry data (LogisticsIQ 2024):
➡️ 73% of shippers say on-time delivery is their #1 performance metric
…but only
➡️ 38% say they’re willing to pay above market to secure consistent capacity
Here’s the disconnect:
You can’t demand reliability without respecting the people who deliver it.
Late loads don’t just happen because of bad drivers or lazy brokers.
They happen because:
❌ The rate was too low to attract top-tier carriers
❌ There was no buffer for detention or wait time
❌ The shipper prioritized price instead of process
At TAM Logistics, we don’t race to the bottom.
We build resilient freight strategies that actually work:
✔ Reliable carriers
✔ Fair, transparent pricing
✔ Real updates from real people. Not silence
If your freight matters, it deserves more than the cheapest path to “maybe.”
