Q:How do I save money using this program?

A:Siriani Freight Savings Plans enable you to control your operating expenses by reducing your inbound and outbound freight costs. Your Freight Savings Plan discounts are applied when you ship or receive packages billed to your carrier accounts.

Q:Can I use the program on my inbound freight?

A:Absolutely. When you place your order, simply tell your vendor to ship it "Freight Collect" via your carrier of choice. Often, when you allow vendors to route your shipment you are often charged the full list rate. By taking control of your shipment routing, and paying the carrier directly, you will only be billed the discounted rate from your carrier. This can add up to thousands of dollars of savings over the course of a year.

Q:What are the requirements for participation?

A:
  • As long as you are a current member of a participating association you are eligible to save with our Freight Savings Plan.

Q:What if I already have accounts with your carriers?

A:If you already have account numbers with our carriers, that's great. We can link your accounts to the Freight Savings Plan discounts. If you don't have an account that's not a problem. We will get an account set-up for you and link it to the association discounts.

Q:If I enroll, can I still use other carriers?

A:Yes. You are free to pick and chose the carrier you need for each individual shipment, it's your choice. However, by shipping with Freight Savings Plan carriers you'll enjoy tremendous savings and industry leading service and reliability.

Q:I don't ship much, can I still use the program?

A:Even if you're not a big shipper you can still save money. You are not obligated to maintain a set shipping volume so why not save money on what you do ship? Remember, this is a free program!

Q:Who should I call for a rate quote?

A:You can call either Siriani or the carrier. If you call Siriani we will rate your shipment with all of the carriers to find the the right service at the best price. Time is money and we want to help you save on both.

Q:Are there any fees to participate?

A:Siriani does not charge any fees for you to participate in our programs. However, you are still subject to all of the standard carrier rules and tariffs.

Q:I don't know my rates, what if they are better?

A:When you enroll in one of our programs we submit your information to each of the carriers. If your current pricing is better, the carrier will not link you account to our program. It is not to anyone's benefit to link your account to a less competitive pricing agreement.

Q:Why should I use Siriani?

A:Siriani is a federally-licensed freight brokerage and has been in business since 1982. We pioneered the concept of managed freight savings plans to help small business stay competitive.
