| The United Shippers Alliance is a multi-industry, rate-negotiating, nonprofit shippers association, offering access to its group service contracts to all of its shipper-members; service contracts written in cooperation with the major LTL carriers and the major ocean-container carriers, designed and negotiated to serve the best interests of all parties. Volume makes a difference. Mutual understanding and respect for each party’s objectives make a difference. Market-awareness and transportation expertise make a difference. The objective of each service contract is to expand volume, to reduce costs where possible, and to make the most competitive set of transportation services available to each shipper-member. |
