How Rajo Transportation Goes Beyond Freight Forwarding to Strengthen Your Supply Chain

Why Shippers Need More Than Just Forwarding

Freight forwarding has long been viewed as the “glue” in logistics, coordinating shipments across carriers, ports, and warehouses. But in today’s fast-moving supply chains, shippers need more than coordination. They need active carriers who can move freight quickly, transparently, and reliably—while still offering the oversight and strategic value of a freight forwarder.

At Rajo Transportation LLC, we combine the strengths of traditional forwarding with the power of being a 24/7 active carrier. The result is simple: fewer delays, lower costs, and stronger customer relationships for shippers who cannot afford missed deadlines.

The Limitations of Traditional Freight Forwarding

Freight forwarders play an important role, but shippers often experience common frustrations:

• Lack of visibility: Forwarders rely on third-party updates, often hours delayed.
  
  
• Added costs: Each forwarding step adds markups and admin fees.
  
  
• Limited control: Shippers do not always know which carrier actually hauls their freight.
  
  
• Slow response times: Urgent issues often go unresolved outside of business hours.
  
  

When every hour matters in freight, these gaps are unacceptable.

The Rajo Transportation Difference

Rajo bridges the gap between forwarder coordination and carrier execution. We act as a true partner, combining hands-on freight movement with strategic logistics oversight.

What this means for shippers:

• 24/7 support, every single day of the year
  
  
• Specialized capacity for expedited, refrigerated, power-only, and flatbed freight
  
  
• Transparent pricing with no hidden accessorials

Case Study - Turning Delays Into On Time Wins

One of our retail clients faced recurring chargebacks from a major big-box store because shipments often arrived late. Their previous provider relied on forwarding and multiple carriers, creating confusion and delays.

After switching to Rajo:

• On-time performance improved to 98% within 60 days
  
  
• Chargebacks dropped to near zero
  
  
• The client called Rajo their “most reliable freight partner”
  
  

This success was not luck. It was the result of our 24/7 active carrier model, designed for speed, communication, and control.
