SMC3 Issues Updates to its CzarLite Product
Peachtree City, GA (PRWEB) August 05, 2015 -- SMC³ has announced that effective September 14, 2015, the data within its CzarLite® family of products has been updated to reflect the overall economic impact of rising freight transportation expenses, as well as recent changes to the U.S. Postal Service ZIP code system and the Canadian and Mexican postal code systems. As in prior updates, CzarLite base rate adjustments do not include fuel price adjustments, which are addressed separately by the individual carriers.
SMC³ regularly updates CzarLite, to maintain its longstanding reputation as the industry’s premier less-than-truckload base rate and benchmarking system for shipments within and between the United States, Canada and Mexico. The mathematical computations SMC³ uses to update CzarLite are verified by an independent CPA —to ensure the input data and mathematical processes are accurate, and the CzarLite update is an equitable method for the usability and applicability of baseline rates. SMC³ also employs an external economic expert review panel to make recommendations related to the economic portion of the CzarLite update and assure the practical, fair and unbiased nature of CzarLite rates.
