Courier and delivery services
Our pricing structure for Smart Logistics Corridor Ecosystem services is distinct from traditional courier models. While courier services are typically calculated by distance, weight, speed, and size, our ecosystem pricing is based on access, usage, and infrastructure. This includes annual access fees, per-truckload operational fees, technology fees, safety and compliance fees, and rail spur usage. This innovative model ensures predictable, transparent pricing that remains unaffected by fuel costs or mileage, providing unparalleled stability for your budget.
Why our pricing makes sense for your business
Our pricing stands out because it's simple, predictable, and built on value-driven infrastructure, not fluctuating market conditions. Unlike traditional courier and freight companies that charge based on distance, fuel, weight, and unpredictable market shifts, our model features flat access fees and consistent usage fees. This gives your business full transparency, eliminating surprises. Companies also gain added value through integrated smart technology, rigorous safety oversight, compliance support, and expertly coordinated logistics—benefits rarely included in standard pricing from other providers. This structure helps you save money, operate more efficiently, and scale your operations with confidence.
Many of our partners ask: 'Why the annual Corridor Access Fee?' This fee covers your fundamental right to utilize our state-of-the-art corridor infrastructure and its integrated services, ensuring smooth and efficient operations. The $15 per truckload operational fee covers the optimized routing, traffic management, and essential operational support within the corridor. We pride ourselves on having no hidden or unexpected fees; our model is designed for complete transparency. Prices remain stable, unaffected by fuel costs or market conditions. Our Smart Technology Fee includes access to real-time tracking, data analytics, and predictive tools to optimize your logistics. Safety & Compliance Fees apply per truck to ensure every vehicle operating within our ecosystem meets stringent safety standards. Rail spur access and per-railcar fees provide direct, efficient rail integration for bulk transport. While we strive for competitive pricing, we also offer potential discounts for high-volume or recurring partnerships—contact us to discuss your specific needs. Compared to traditional models, our approach offers significant long-term savings and operational efficiencies.
