Classify
Accurate NMFC commodity classification you can trust.
Validate
Built-in validation reduces risk and rebill exposure.
Rate
Smarter carrier choice. Better rates. Complete quotes.
Analyze
Density, confidence and risk scored on every line.
Step 1
Define the journey
Origin + Destination → Gateway Options → Mileage Framework
Two ZIP codes establish the transportation foundation. GRG instantly maps optimal mainland gateways and mileage frameworks so you can move forward with total confidence.
- 85054 Phoenix, AZ → 96819 Honolulu, HI
- 419 estimated miles to gateway
- LBC · OAK · SEA/TAC servicing terminals
Step 2
Build the shipment: four things. That’s it.
Quantity. Dimensions. Weight. Description. Done.
You don’t need to manually calculate cube, density or NMFC freight classes — the intelligence starts here.
Cube Calculated
64.81 ft³ calculated automatically.
Weight Established
525 lbs total shipment weight recorded.
Description Captured
“Surgery Table” captured for commodity intelligence.
Ready for Rating
Intelligence engaged for advancing charges and Hawaii rating.
Step 3
Freight intelligence workspace
From your description, GRG removes the noise, finds the best match and validates the commodity — NMFC 79300 Sub 6, Class 100, 90% confidence, LOW risk.
Keyword Search
Removes noise and analyzes your description against the NMFC database.
Best Fit Identified
Surfaces best-fit matches with clear confidence and risk metrics.
Apply to Line
One click applies NMFC, class, density rule and description to line items.
Validation Window
Governance layer exposes classification rationale and density logic.
BOL Description
Validated, compliant description inserts directly into shipping documents.
Step 4
Choose how the freight reaches the gateway.
Fixed rate. Mileage-based PTL/FTL. Or live carrier selection.
GTZship Integration — Live TMS carrier market
See the options. Choose the fit. Keep moving.
The existing shipment profile opens the carrier market. Compare current carrier rates, transit and shipment-specific tariff restrictions, then choose the carrier that best fits the shipment.
The lowest rate is not automatically the best carrier. GRG exposes shipment-specific tariff restrictions before carrier selection to reduce potential rebill exposure.
Roadrunner — $341.88
3 days transit • restrictions reviewed • selected advancing cost applies directly back to the Hawaii quote.
Also available
When the advancing cost is already known, both manual paths remain one entry away.
Known Rate
Manual / fixed entry.
Apply a pre-negotiated LTL or fixed advancing charge directly to the quote.
$341.88
Enter or confirm the fixed rate.
Mileage Rate
Origin ZIP to gateway miles × approved rate per mile.
Dynamically builds PTL/FTL pricing using system-calculated mileage.
307 mi × $1.35 = $414.45
Mileage-based rate applied to the quote.
Step 5
End-to-end execution. Intelligence captured, documented, delivered.
Captured once. Used throughout the journey.
Everything captured during rating becomes reusable shipment intelligence — profile, validated classification and selected carrier flow straight into execution instead of being manually re-entered.
