One Transport Vendor or Several: Which Is Better?

Should a company use one transport vendor or several?

Short answer

One per site usually, with backup written into the contract.

One vendor gives one coordinator, one invoice, one set of reports and often better rates for volume. Several vendors give a fallback and price tension, but more admin and split accountability. Many companies choose one primary vendor per site, with the backup plan, SLA and notice terms written into the contract and a market check at renewal.
