Freight Intelligence

Most businesses with
significant freight spend
are negotiating blind.

Your carriers have complete visibility over your cost structure. You probably don't. AM Strategist combines 30 years of independent carrier-side expertise with an AI-guided intelligence platform to find what you're overpaying — and build the case to get it back.

The problems

The freight cost problems most businesses
don't know they have.

Your carriers know these are happening. They count on you not looking. Andrew spent 30 years on the other side of that conversation.

01 ——

Fuel levy overcharges

Carriers apply fuel levies incorrectly — wrong percentage, wrong charge base, applied to items it shouldn't be. Most clients never check. Effective 23 April, StarTrack Express jumps from 15.5% to 22.7%. Is your contract capped?

02 ——

Rates you've never benchmarked

Your carrier knows exactly what comparable businesses pay. You don't. That information gap costs money every month.

03 ——

Auto-renewal without rate review

Most freight contracts auto-renew without any rate adjustment. Carriers count on this. Andrew was on the other side of those renewals for 30 years.

04 ——

Accessorial charge inflation

Tail lift fees, residential surcharges, dimensional weight — applied incorrectly or to consignments where they don't apply. Individually small. Collectively significant.

05 ——

Contract gaps that expose you

No GRI cap. No fuel levy ceiling. No SLA remedy. Clauses that protect the carrier, not you.

06 ——

Volume commitments you can't meet

Penalties sitting in your contract that nobody told you about when you signed. Andrew reads contracts differently when he knows what to look for.

Who runs this

30 years on the other side
of the table.

Andrew spent three decades at TNT Express, StarTrack, Australia Post, Toll Global Express, and Team Global Express — managing the commercial relationships, pricing structures, and contract negotiations that determine what businesses pay for freight.

He now works exclusively for the businesses that were on the other side of those conversations. He knows how carriers construct pricing, where the margin is hidden, and exactly what they will and won't move on in a negotiation.

That knowledge isn't in a database. It's in the work.
