Frequently Asked Questions

We support linehaul negotiations with data, enabling shippers to capture 70-100% of the potential savings based on their procurement practices. Additionally, the price of fuel changes daily, making it impossible for a carrier to increase rates accordingly.

Fuel Recovery can be easily implemented no matter the timing. Implementation is efficient and effective whether done through an RFP or off-cycle through a conversion of your existing carrier contracts.

It is highly probable that your carriers are already familiar with Fuel Recovery. On average, 83% of a prospective client’s miles are hauled by carriers already on the Breakthrough Fuel Recovery program. Additionally, 94 of the Top 100 Transport Topics’ for-hire carriers are on Fuel Recovery.

Fuel Recovery is a fair and accurate program that ensures carriers of all sizes are made whole on fuel expenses. Furthermore, Breakthrough can help small- and medium-sized carriers purchase fuel at wholesale prices, empowering them to compete with larger carriers.

Breakthrough is system agnostic and integrates with over 45 TMS partners. We can exchange data in many ways including API, SFTP, and AS2, or whatever means necessary. Implementation typically takes 6 to 8 weeks and requires only 10-20 hours from your tech team.

Without Fuel Recovery, you would start over-reimbursing for fuel again. So, while your organization may not recognize year-over-year savings, using Fuel Recovery delivers continued cost avoidance. In addition to continued cost avoidance, Fuel Recovery offers continuous improvement opportunities that will improve your network and deliver additional savings.

Carrier search results are based on transacted movements from Breakthrough shipper clients. With a superior ecosystem of data that represents over $25 billion in annual transportation spend across many industries, Breakthrough has an unparalleled view of the freight market.

Breakthrough has one of the cleanest and most comprehensive full truckload and intermodal network datasets available in the marketplace. This robust dataset comprised exclusively of transacted rates produces trusted and market-based rates.

Tracking carbon emissions is one step of a comprehensive emissions management program. CleanMile calculates emissions at the load level in near real-time to develop an effective emissions reduction plan. By following this plan, shippers can execute initiatives with the support of real-world expertise, ultimately reducing costs and emissions.

Lifecycle Emissions are calculated at the movement level based on modeled consumption and relevant energy carbon intensities for each leg, mode of transport, and energy type.

CleanMile provides shippers with load-level information on carrier emissions, allowing them to make informed decisions on carrier choice and mode optimization. CleanMile also promotes the use of alternative energy and implements payload and network optimization strategies to further reduce emissions.

CleanMile manages Scope 1 & 3 transportation emissions. While Scope 1 & 2 are often prioritized because they are perceived as easier to address, CleanMile simplifies Scope 3 emissions management, making it cost-effective and easy. As a result, Sustainability orgs have begun to prioritize Scope 3 transportation emissions.

While the specifics of mandatory climate reporting regulations is subject to change, opting for a Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) framework to calculate emissions is viewed as a best practice by many experts and sets the foundation to comply with upcoming mandatory carbon emissions reporting programs. CleanMile, a GLEC accredited tool, simplifies and streamlines compliance with future reporting requirements.
