How we use your shipment data
Our free tools turn the numbers on your freight invoices into anonymized rate benchmarks, so shippers can finally see what fair LTL pricing looks like. Here's exactly what we use, what we never touch, and how the anonymizing works — in plain language.
What we use
From each shipment you enter, we keep only the facts that describe the rate:
- The lane — but only as a 3-digit ZIP region (for example, "070" for parts of New Jersey), never your full address.
- Weight and freight class.
- Accessorial charges (liftgate, residential, inside delivery, and the like).
- The carrier.
- The rate you paid.
What we never include
The benchmark dataset never contains your name, your company, your contact details, your account, or anything that could identify you or any single shipment of yours. Those details are stripped out before a rate ever enters the dataset.
How anonymizing actually works
- We strip the identifying fields. Name, company, contact information, and full address are removed.
- We reduce locations to 3-digit ZIP regions. A precise origin and destination becomes a broad region — enough to compare lanes, not enough to point back at you.
- We combine your numbers with data from many other shippers. A benchmark is an average across the market, not your individual invoice.
- We only publish when the data is dense enough to be anonymous. We show a benchmark for a given lane and freight class only once there are enough separate data points that no single shipment can be picked out of it.
Your email is kept separate
If you give us your email — to get rate alerts or a copy of your result — it's stored separately from the anonymized rate data, used only for what you asked for, and never sold.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from emails, or ask us to delete your contact information, at any time. The one thing we can't do is pull your rate back out of the anonymized benchmarks: once a rate has been anonymized and aggregated, it's no longer linked to you, so it can't be individually identified or withdrawn.
