Format: 45-minute webinar + Q&A
Presented by: Revolution Trucking, NTMA Akron Bronze Industry Partner

What This Is

A working session for manufacturers who ship high-value, precision, or time-sensitive parts and want a better framework for making freight decisions — not just a better rate.

The central question running through the whole presentation: what does it actually cost when a shipment fails? Not the invoice. The actual cost — production delays, customer escalations, emergency expedites, rework, and recovery.

Attendees leave with a practical risk scorecard they can use on their next shipment.

Agenda

• Opening scenario — a real freight failure, what it cost, and why the invoice didn’t show it
• Freight price vs. freight cost — the hidden cost of a “cheap” shipment gone wrong
• The precision freight risk scorecard — five questions that determine what service level a shipment actually needs
• Mode tradeoffs — when LTL is right, when it isn’t, and what the alternatives are
• Three manufacturing scenarios — including one where standard service was the correct call
• Revolution’s role for NTMA members — freight review program and member benefit overview

What Attendees Take Away

• A one-page risk scorecard for evaluating any shipment
• A mode tradeoffs reference card
• Access to a no-cost freight review for NTMA members
