Reliability Gaps
Reliability gaps are driven by avoidable choices, not random market swings. Opaque 
pricing, weak SLAs, and reactive operations fuel uncertainty. Shipments fall prey to 
voluntary rollovers, vague cutoffs, and ad-hoc route changes, while contracts reward 
carriers with limited accountability and invoices are reconciled manually and slowly. 
Governance gaps—not market forces—sustain persistent unrelia
