The experts at J. D. Carton & Son and Allied Van Lines know that each company is different. Each corporate relocation strategy is different and we can offer flexible pricing programs that are leading our industry.
The pricing options are in three basic categories. The standard tariff pricing model, the performance based pricing model, or the simplicity offered through single factor rates. You’ve heard of the first two but may not know about the single factor rate pricing model.
Single Factor Rate Pricing Model
Single factor rate pricing uses rate/cost "averages," based on your company's household goods traffic patterns or all Allied customer shipments. Through this household goods contract, corporate customers receive significant cost savings in the form of a blended discount off published tariff rates, as well as value-added services.
To provide the utmost benefits for corporate customers, average rates are developed for packing, labor, containers, and transportation charges, based on the cubic size and/or weight of the shipment, as well as the number of miles the shipment will travel. These rate/cost averages are blended together, becoming a consistent discount, without regard to seasonal or regional pricing changes. As a result, the tariff, audit and cost complexities associated with individual service charges are eliminated.
Value-added services for corporate customers include transit time enhancements (shorter loading and delivery schedules), valuation options (free full replacement insurance up to a stated dollar amount), priority scheduling (commitment of Allied's best drivers and trucks) and superior service (customer satisfaction).
