Great experience. Competitive rates, amazing customer service.
The engine arrived first thing this morning. I want to thank you and the Moto team for making this happen flawlessly. Job well done!
Today had a little bit of everything from our side here and I know that it added extra to your day today. I just wanted to thank you as it seems we have gotten most the kinks ironed out. You made my day a lot easier considering.
Thank you for delivering our 9 pallet order yesterday. Your team’s service was exceptional as we really needed the products to be shipped out of town.
Always such fast and friendly service, we appreciate it!
We use Moto Transportation to ship 6X6 Military trucks from the US to Canada, the pricing is competitive and the staff are great to deal with. I have nothing but good to say about there service.
Moto Transportation understands their business, building relationships and delivering on time; claim free. Their service is excellent and pricing competitive. I’ve known Mike and his team for many years now and refer Moto Transportation to most anyone looking for simplified domestic and international trucking & freight, cross-border services. Give them a shot, you won’t be disappointed.
Moto Transportation is amazing! I wish I could give them 10 stars! They went above and beyond to help me move a giant piece of furniture. It was even more difficult considering the location and space I asked for, and additionally, I was out of town when all of this took place!!! Moto Transportation went through so much trouble to help me and they were so professional and patient. Office manager John, logistic coordinator Tony and Orlando, the clearance department, and the lovely office staffs Mariam and Anastasia. They thought of all the details I would never have thought of.
Great response to email requests for rates and tracing. Usually get the response within 15 minutes, so important for those of us in a 3pl companies. Great updates for shipments picked up and/or delivered. They have been nothing but a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend this company for all your LTL moves.
We use Moto multiple times weekly. Their portal is very easy to use, the team is incredibly responsive and always provides the best rates. Our rep (Christina) is incredible, often responding in under 2 minutes to any inquiries we have. Tracking shipments is a breeze due to their system providing location updates daily while shipments are in transit. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Highly recommend for all your transportation needs, LTL or FTL
I just love dealing with you guys! You are so efficient!!
I am not sure how you did it but THANK YOU… MOTO IS MARVELOUS!!
They provide us an excellent service. Very honest in letting you know if it is doable or not. Dmitri and Motto Staff are a strong professional team.
A few things worth clearing up.
What it is
What is freight management?
Freight management is the ongoing planning and coordination of a business’s shipping. Depending on the arrangement, Moto can handle carrier comparisons, bookings, shipment updates, problem-solving, records and reporting.
What’s the difference between freight management and freight brokerage?
Brokerage arranges an individual move: you ask for a shipment, we compare carriers, price it and book it. Freight management gives Moto an agreed ongoing role in your shipping, with responsibilities, spending limits and working arrangements established for your account.
The same team books the freight either way. The difference you would notice is that nobody has to explain your business again at the start of each booking.
How much does freight management cost?
An agreed percentage of the transportation cost, set before the service starts. You see what the carrier charges and what Moto’s markup comes to on each shipment, with any separately priced services identified upfront.
Can Moto get better freight rates than we can book ourselves?
Our carrier relationships give us access to preferential rates that may not be available when booking directly. The best option still depends on your shipment, route and timing. We compare suitable services and show you the costs.
Whether it fits
Is freight management suitable for a small business?
It can be. The question is how much coordination your shipping requires and where your team needs help. A small business coordinating several suppliers and a demanding delivery requirement can carry a heavier workload than a larger one sending full loads down the same lane every week.
We review your workload before proposing an arrangement.
Can Moto manage only part of our shipping?
Yes. We agree the scope together. That could mean selected routes, locations or responsibilities, with your team continuing to handle the rest.
Can we keep using our existing carriers?
Tell us which carrier relationships you want to retain. We’ll review how they can fit into the arrangement, including booking access, rates and responsibilities.
Can you coordinate inbound and outbound freight?
We can build the arrangement around inbound shipments, outbound deliveries or both. We confirm who supplies shipment details, who approves costs and who receives updates for each.
Setting it up
Do we need to change our shipping software?
We review your current systems during setup and agree how bookings, updates and records will be handled. Any portal access or integration requirements are confirmed before the handover.
Shipments booked with Moto are visible in your portal either way.
How long does it take to get started?
That depends on the locations, systems and responsibilities involved. After reviewing your shipping, we agree a setup plan and a start date, including how to handle shipments already underway.
