Shipping with Amazon (SWA) will offer lower pricing than UPS or FedEx in order to be competitive.

In a March 23, 2026 podcast episode published on its Point to Point blog, Averitt's Director of Integrated Services Sales discussed how the carrier's Averitt Connect TMS platform and ExactRate dynamic pricing tool are commonly set up together, with Connect pulling LTL rates from ExactRate for quoting, visibility and invoicing.
