Greater Columbus Shippers Alliance

A rate-negotiating shippers association that serves shippers through transportation contracts negotiated with most major LTL and ocean carriers.

The United Shippers Alliance is a multi-industry, nonprofit shippers association that offers access to international and domestic group service contracts to all members, large and small alike. The service contracts are written in cooperation with the major international and domestic carriers. Recognizing that transportation volume and expertise make a difference is the principal value offered. All participation is at the option of the shipper-member. There are no minimum participation requirements. The USA has no LTL charges, but does charge a small administrative fee per ocean container shipped. Small to medium-sized shippers are the principal beneficiaries. The USA is a cooperative, group-buyer of transportation services, serving cargo owning shippers nationwide.
