THE CARRIER BUSINESS JOURNAL

What Are You Paying for When You Outsource Freight Sales?

Compare carrier market research and prospecting costs by activity, limits, onboarding, and handoffs—not promises of guaranteed freight.

Two proposals can both say “freight sales” and describe very different work. One may be a research list. Another may include introductions, follow-ups, and reporting. A price makes sense only when the work behind it is clear.

For a small carrier, the useful comparison starts with deliverables: which accounts are researched, how contacts are verified, what outreach is included, and what happens when someone responds.

Separate research from ongoing outreach

ORYNLO’s proposed Market Assessment is $249 one time for research on 10–15 accounts. It does not include ongoing outreach. It is a starting point for evaluating a market, not a purchase of customers or loads.

Prospecting Desk is proposed at $599 per month, with 25 accounts and 60–90 outreach touches. It does not include routine introductory calls. A touch is an outreach activity, not a unique shipper, reply, or successful sale.

Know what the monthly desk includes

Carrier Growth Desk is proposed at $999 per month: 45 accounts, 100–150 touches, up to 30 lawful introductory calls, and weekly reporting. The plan is built around independent fleets operating approximately 2–5 trucks, subject to fit and agreed scope.

Market Expansion Desk is proposed at $1,499 per month: 70 accounts, 200 touches, up to 50 introductory calls, and three target corridors. A broader plan still requires a fleet that can support the markets being researched.

The proposed onboarding fee is $299, with a proposed 90-day agreement. Monthly and one-time charges are different. The actual scope, billing, cancellation, and communication requirements belong in the signed agreement. Public figures are proposed launch pricing, not an automatic purchase offer.

Ask where the provider’s responsibility ends

ORYNLO provides research, contact discovery, introductory prospecting, follow-up management, and qualified handoffs. The carrier handles rates, contracts, load commitments, and transportation.

We do not arrange freight transportation, broker loads, or provide dispatch under the current service model. That distinction should be clear before comparing this service with a dispatcher or broker.

Compare activity and evidence

  • How many accounts are included, and how is fit assessed?
  • Are calls included, limited, or outside the plan?
  • What counts as an outreach touch?
  • How are replies and next steps reported?
  • Who approves messaging and handles a commercial opportunity?
  • What does onboarding cost, and what commitment applies?
  • Are freight volume and customer acquisition being promised?

At ORYNLO, freight volume, revenue, and customer acquisition are not guaranteed. Research can uncover a poor fit. Outreach can receive no response. A qualified conversation can still end without an agreement. Those outcomes should remain visible in the reporting.

Start with your operation, then choose the scope

A bigger plan is not automatically the better decision. If the fleet’s equipment, capacity, or lanes are still unclear, more outreach can multiply the confusion. A defined assessment may be the better first conversation.

See the current growth plan comparison for the authoritative plan details. When you are ready, send a quick assessment request. The inquiry does not purchase a paid service.
