Why 3PLs, Brokers & Shippers Staff Through Zedtreeo
Freight margins are razor thin. Dispatch never sleeps. Track-and-trace eats hours. Zedtreeo gives you dedicated remote logistics staff — TMS-fluent, lane-aware and built for always-on freight operations.
McLeod, MercuryGate, TMS & WMS fluent
Every hire is vetted on McLeod PowerBroker/LoadMaster, MercuryGate, TMW, Aljex, Descartes, Project44, FourKites, MyCarrier, Turvo, DAT, Truckstop, Manhattan, HighJump WMS and custom TMS — no generic operators trying to learn your lanes.
70–85% cost savings
A US dispatcher or freight broker runs $55K–$80K fully loaded. A Zedtreeo dispatcher starts at $1,056/month — you can cover 24/7 board management for less than one onshore shift, without burnout.
24/7 global board coverage
Our shift-based staffing means overnight dispatch, weekend brokerage and after-hours tracking get covered without onshore overtime. Trucks keep rolling, tracking updates flow to customers, and nobody's driver calls go unanswered.
Built for freight-margin economics
Every role — dispatch, brokerage, tracking, claims — is staffed with economics the freight business actually needs. No BPO contact-center markup, no per-call pricing that kills your margin on hot loads.
Logistics and freight back-office staffing in the U.S. has become a margin issue at scale — BLS transportation and warehousing industry data tracks persistent cost growth across the sector. Remote dedicated dispatch, ops, and admin staff from Zedtreeo absorb that pressure without disrupting service levels.
Which 3PLs, Brokers and Shippers Get the Most From Zedtreeo — and Which Don't
Be honest — here's who wins with us and who doesn't.
This Is For You If…
- ✓You run a freight broker, 3PL, 4PL, asset-based carrier, forwarder, customs broker or shipper logistics team
- ✓Your dispatch board is uncovered overnight or on weekends and you're losing loads or drivers to it
- ✓Track-and-trace, POD collection or customer updates are eating your broker hours
- ✓You need customs/HS coding, import-export documentation or drayage admin at scale
- ✓You're scaling lanes, customers or book of business and can't hire brokers or dispatchers fast enough
This Is Not For You If…
- ✗You need CDL drivers, warehouse pickers or dock workers — physical roles stay onsite
- ✗You need licensed customs brokers of record (licensure stays onshore — we support, not replace)
- ✗Your systems are entirely offline or air-gapped from remote access
- ✗You want a 2-week seasonal patch — we staff long-term dedicated hires
Dedicated logistics, supply chain and freight staff from Zedtreeo — 70–85% lower than local hiring, with zero recruitment fees, zero HR overhead, zero hidden costs.

Real clients. Real outcomes. Real savings.
Freight broker doubled book without new onshore hires
A US freight brokerage had a $45M book and two dispatchers handling after-hours. A Zedtreeo 8-person dispatch and brokerage pod took over overnight board, carrier sales and track-and-trace — book doubled to $90M with no new onshore hires.
Read case study3PL hit 99% track-and-trace compliance
A mid-market 3PL was losing customer contracts tied to on-time track-and-trace SLAs. A Zedtreeo 5-person T&T pod owned proactive customer updates across all active loads — SLA compliance jumped to 99% and two major shippers extended contracts.
Read case studyShipper recovered $1.4M in freight invoice overcharges
A US retailer's freight invoice audit was manual and rarely completed. A Zedtreeo 4-person freight invoice audit pod systematically audited 18 months of invoices — recovered $1.4M in overcharges, detention errors and accessorial misbillings.

No dead weeks.
The real cost of a hire that does not work out is not the fee — it is the weeks of ramp, context and half-finished work that go with them. Most guarantees refund the money and hand you a new stranger. Three things happen here instead.
A free replacement, with no expiry
Month one or month thirty — if a specialist stops being right for the seat, we replace them at no cost. There is no 30-day or 90-day cutoff and no cap on how many times you can ask.
A fresh 5-day trial, every time
The replacement is not a stranger you are stuck with. You get five working days of real output to evaluate them, free — exactly the same trial you had on the first placement, on every replacement.
Five free days of handover
The outgoing specialist spends five days handing over to the incoming one, at no charge. Open items get documented and context transfers with the work, so you lose days rather than weeks.
This has been standing practice since we started — it is written down here because it was never written down anywhere. Read the full replacement policy

Why our rates are lower — and sustainable.
It isn't a discount or a race to the bottom. The gap is a structural macroeconomic one — and our specialists earn competitive local wages while you pay a fraction.
Wage arbitrage
The same skill is priced very differently by geography. We recruit from India's deep talent pool and place specialists with businesses globally — so you get the skill without the highest-wage market's price tag.
Currency + cost of living
Nominal FX is ~₹95.5/$ — but in purchasing-power terms $1 buys only ~₹22 of goods in India. That ~4× gap is structural and permanent, not a discount that erodes.
Eliminated overhead
No US benefits load (~30%), office, equipment, software seats, or recruiting fees (15–25% of first-year pay). One transparent rate absorbs the lot.
| Role | US in-house* | Zedtreeo | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Software developer | ~$85/hr | $8–$10/hr | ~88% |
| Digital marketer | ~$42/hr | $6–$8/hr | ~83% |
| Bookkeeper / accountant | ~$32/hr | $6–$8/hr | ~78% |
| Medical biller / RCM | ~$32/hr | $6–$8/hr | ~78% |
| Virtual assistant / admin | ~$30/hr | $6/hr | ~82% |
| Customer support | ~$26/hr | $6/hr | ~79% |
| Architectural drafter* | ~$50/hr | $18/hr | ~55% |
*US figures = BLS (May 2025) median wage plus ~30–35% benefits & overhead, per hour. Architectural drafting is a specialized production tier priced above the $6–10 base, so its savings run lower. Most roles save 70–85% versus comparable local hires.
Where the savings actually come from
A dollar trades at ~₹95 — but inside India it buys what ~₹22 buys here. That ~4× gap between the exchange rate and real cost of living is the engine, not a discount— and it's only widened for a decade. Our specialists earn a strong wage for their market; you pay less because of the currency gap and eliminated overhead, never because anyone's underpaid or the work is cut-rate.
And the spread stays honest
Most of what you pay reaches the person doing the work — not a recruiter's placement fee, not a layer of account management you never meet. It's part of why 94% of our specialists stay, and every one of them clears the Zedtreeo 6-Stage Standard before you ever see a profile.
