Case Study: Sunset Transportation achieves accurate, automated LTL quoting and rating with 3G (3Gtms)

Sunset Transportation - Customer Case Study

Sunset Transportation, a St. Louis–based 3PL, faced a common LTL problem: shippers received instant online quotes but often saw much higher invoices later because critical shipment details weren’t captured or managed. With LTL pricing driven by changing tariffs, fuel surcharges, classification, handling requirements and commodity specifics, Sunset needed a way to guarantee accurate up-front bids, find least-cost options and automate freight auditing.

Sunset implemented 3Gtms’ contract management and rating modules (the core of 3GT‑TMS) as the central hub for rating, carrier selection, BOL generation, tracking and freight audit/payment, integrating those capabilities into its own software. By forcing capture of granular data (dimensions, density, hazmat, delivery requirements) and automating rating and audits, Sunset now delivers far more accurate quotes and BOLs, reduces invoice surprises, secures lower-cost routing and achieves faster ROI with a flexible, future-proof platform.
