SMC³ Issues Updates to its CzarLite® Product

Atlanta, Ga. – August 6, 2014 – SMC³ announced today that effective September 15, 2014, 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 separately addressed by the individual carriers.

SMC³ regularly updates CzarLite, to maintain its longstanding reputation as the industry’s premier less-than-truckload (LTL) base rate and benchmarking system for shipments within and between the United States, Canada and Mexico. The mathematical computations SMC³ uses to update CzarLite® have been verified by an independent Certified Public Accountant (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.
