How to use it

  1. Open the Scorecard tab and replace the example row with your first carrier.
  2. Add one row per carrier, typing only in the input columns.
  3. Leave the resolution rate and composite score columns alone. They calculate on their own.
  4. Change the weights in the formula if something other than on-time performance matters most to your operation.
  5. Update it monthly or quarterly, and bring it to carrier reviews and renewals.

Common questions

What should an LTL carrier scorecard measure?

This template uses four measures: on-time percentage, claims resolution rate, invoice accuracy percentage, and average discount percentage, plus shipment and claim counts for context.

How is the composite score calculated?

On-time percentage times 0.35, plus claims resolution rate times 0.25, plus invoice accuracy times 0.25, plus average discount times 0.15. The weights can be adjusted.

How often should I update a carrier scorecard?

Monthly or quarterly keeps the view current enough to use in a carrier business review or at contract renewal.
