A lane-level carrier-award recommendation balancing transportation cost, coverage, and service.
The challenge
Our university transportation practicum worked with KeHE Distributors’ real 2024 inbound truckload RFP, including lane-level carrier bids.
What I did
I analyzed lane-level carrier bids across cost, coverage, and service, then developed an award recommendation that balanced rates with reliability and network fit.
The deliverable
A lane-level carrier-award recommendation with a clear rationale for the cost, coverage, and service tradeoffs.
