Routes Transport Main Pitch

Tone: Conversational, low-pressure, and non-disruptive

But here’s the thing [NAME], and the reason why I’m calling… I’ve been talking to a lot of shippers this year, and for the most part, everyone’s getting smacked around by chargebacks, damaged freight, late fees, and border delays. These areas have been frankly just crushing margins.

And the big question I keep getting is… can you get a better price without sacrificing quality?

So our answer to that at Routes is—we don’t make customers fit into our mold. We actually build around your business and your shipping needs.

We’re not just one of those run-of-the-mill freight forwarders using load boards, giving you a cheap rate knowing it’ll show up late or damaged.

We’re a bit more boutique than that, and we utilize a very trusted and vetted partner carrier base.

That allows us to handle everything from LTL, FTL, drayage, intermodal, flatbed, volume… all the way through to more niche stuff like white glove, reefers, air, and overseas.

Basically, you name it—we can ship it.

And it’s all managed through a really simple dashboard that gives you real-time visibility across your freight from cradle to grave.
