DMG's Areas of Expertise

DMG’s in-depth consultation will target, but not be limited to, the following distribution methods:

• Small Package (Parcel) and Document Delivery
  Deliveries via FedEx (Express, Ground & Home Delivery), UPS, Airborne/DHL, USPS, Postal Consolidators and Regional Carriers
• Bulk Air Freight
  Shipments exceeding the weight and/or dimensional constraints of small parcel couriers
• Less-Than-Truckload (LTL)
  Ground s hipments too large (in size and/or quantity) to cost justify small parcel and too small to cost justify truckload
• Truckload Freight (TL)
  Ground s hipments too great in volume to cost justify shipping via a parcel or LTL carrier
• “White Glove” Services
  Shipments requiring unique handling at the point of delivery
• Shipper Accessorial Charges
  Parcel carriers generate 30% of revenues by charging shippers what they call “accessorial charges” such as Residential Delivery, Rural Delivery, Address Corrections, Oversized, etc. There are over 80 accessorial charges of which shippers must remain acutely aware to truly understand their transportation spending.

  Analyze the shipper’s shipping patterns, delivery commitments and transportation infrastructure to determine if zone skipping/drop shipping opportunities exist
• Transportation Reporting
  Detailed transportation management reporting
• International Freight Management
  Assess opportunities in Full-Container (FCL) and Less-Than-Container (LCL) ocean shipments.
• Contract Compliance
  On-going audit of carrier invoices to validate charges and contractual incentives
