Freight Management
For over a century, we have negotiated freight rates by reviewing every competitive option and aggregating the entire volume of our customer base. We have a web based freight system with more than 715,000 current rail, truck and barge rates. Since transportation can represent as much as 15 - 20% of the final delivered cost of scrap, it is an important factor. Our transportation capabilities are unsurpassed. We partner with our customers on many transportation issues including:

• Establish carrier service goals
• Negotiate freight packages
• Track in-transit inventory and carrier performance
• Administer freight payments 
• File claims 
• Pre-audit freight bills
• Coordinate inbound scrap freight with outbound finished product shipments, striving to find economies in backhaul and round-trip rates where applicable.
