    What Miles Does

    Reviews the plan, works the exceptions, and secures the capacity, load after load.

    Skills

    • Shops contract vs spot on each load
    • Negotiates spot deals when contracted carriers say no
    • Holds a load when more orders are coming
    • Plans inside the guardrails you set: rate, routing guide, volume commitment, SLA

    Coverage by mode

    The savings are decided at tender.Miles plans each mode against its own terms.

    Once a load is tendered, the cost is largely fixed. Miles works the decision while it is still open, against the routing guide, the contract and the live market for that mode.

    Contract or spot, decided per load and defended

    Every truckload is a choice between the routing guide and the open market. Miles makes that choice inside guardrails you set, and shows the reasoning behind it.

    spot advantage that triggers an auction

    • Tender decisioning

      Seven rules across nine pathways, evaluated in a fixed order, resolving every load to contract tender, spot auction, mode upgrade or escalation. The order is fixed on purpose: a cheaper answer never gets to skip the check that would have disqualified it.

    • Routing guide first, always

      Every decision starts at your routing guide and walks the carrier waterfall for that lane, city pair first and state pair as fallback, before any market signal is allowed to weigh in.

    • Live spot benchmarking

      Live spot rates and load-to-truck ratios per lane feed the two rules permitted to override a contract tender: a spot rate materially below contract, or a tightening market where your primary has been rejecting.

    • Share-of-wallet protection

      A cheaper spot rate does not automatically win. Where a statement of work carries a volume commitment, the floor protects the primary carrier and the decision record says that is why, so the relationship survives the quarter.

    • Zero-base cost floor

      A per-equipment cost floor with DOE-linked fuel underneath every negotiation, so a target rate is a defensible number rather than last quarter's rate with a haircut.

    • Voice spot procurement

      When spot wins, Miles calls approved carriers in parallel and negotiates inside target, soft ceiling and hard ceiling. The award is atomic, so only one carrier can win the load and the rest are closed out professionally.

    Sample negotiation

    One call, start to finish.$150 off a single load.

    When the routing guide runs out, Miles calls carriers directly and negotiates inside the rate policy you set. This is one of four calls placed in parallel on the same load. It starts muted, so unmute to hear it.

      Hey, Miles from TransportOne. I've got a dry van, Dallas to Phoenix, picks up tomorrow at six. You got a fifty-three footer that can make that dock time?

      Carrier

      Uh... yeah, I got one. Six is tight, but... yeah, doable. I need twenty-two hundred.

      Yeah, twenty-two's over the market. Lane's running eighteen hundred right now, and I've got live quotes in hand under nineteen. I can do eighteen.

      Look, eighteen doesn't cover my deadhead. I'm sitting in Fort Worth, that's thirty-five miles empty. Nineteen hundred.

      Deadhead's fair, I'll pay for that. But look, Phoenix outbound is dense this week, you're not gonna sit there waiting on a reload. Eighteen fifty, detention starts at two hours, and I'll get you quick pay in seven days. That's my last move.

      Hm. Yeah, alright. Eighteen fifty works. Send it over.

    What Miles did in the call

    • 01

      Qualified before it quoted

      Equipment and dock time were settled in the opening line, before any number. A rate agreed on the wrong trailer gets rebilled.

    • 02

      Rejected the anchor with evidence

      The open was $200 over the hard ceiling. It was refused against live lane data and competing quotes, not a flat no.

    • 03

      Conceded the objection, moved the argument

      The deadhead was real, so it was paid. The case shifted to Phoenix outbound density, the risk the rate was actually pricing.

    • 04

      Knew the floor before conceding

      Zero-base cost put the true floor at $1,700. Every move after that was made against a known number.

    • 05

      Paid in terms, not rate

      Detention at two hours and seven-day quick pay closed the last $50 without moving the linehaul.

    • 06

      Closed atomically

      The award took a lock before the other three calls were released, so two carriers could never be told yes.
