Prefer to explore first? Request a free pilot01 / Movement
Cargo, quantity, origin, destination and timing define the review. Nothing is assumed to be a confirmed booking.
02 / Route decision
Illustrative review categories. Only feasible modes are included in a real report; no prices or savings are fabricated.
Services / Early-access opportunity
Share one shipment you're authorized to discuss. We'll explore the route-planning workflow together, review available evidence, and identify what a carrier still needs to confirm before providing a real rate.
No card or commitment. Pilot availability is subject to review. The free pilot is separate from the $49 manually prepared PDF brief; neither includes guaranteed carrier pricing or booking.
Services / Ongoing workspace
$24 / month
For repeat shippers: unlimited saved movements, RFQ tracking, recorded carrier-offer comparisons and organized decision evidence.
Founding subscription price for eligible subscribers, subject to available launch slots. Recurs monthly until canceled through Stripe. Requires a Waterline account; it does not include the separate $49 human-reviewed brief or carrier bookings.
What are you actually buying?
Regular Waterline helps you do the research. The paid brief is a human-reviewed interpretation of one specific shipment, delivered to you.
Freight Decision Brief · $49 one time
The deliverable
We research up to three plausible modes for your movement, identifying where size, geography and equipment matter.
Relevant published benchmarks, weather and infrastructure conditions are clearly dated and connected to their sources.
Get an actionable summary, explicit unknowns and the questions you should ask providers before requesting a firm rate.
Simple to order
Three required shipment fields are collected securely at Stripe checkout. Waterline confirms any remaining information by email.
At Stripe checkout, provide your email, shipment origin, destination, and approximate cargo/load.
Waterline follows up to confirm your preferred shipment date, equipment and any special constraints.
A manually reviewed 2–4-page PDF, targeted within two business days after complete details are confirmed.
No carrier booking, freight arrangement, solicited carrier quote, guaranteed capacity, customs clearance or promised savings. Models and published benchmarks are research references, not executable prices. Some movements may support fewer than three realistic options.
Target delivery is within two business days after complete details are confirmed. Cancel before work starts for a full refund. If Waterline cannot deliver the agreed scope, receive a refund or agree to a revised plan. Material errors reported within seven days receive a correction or refund review, without limiting your legal rights.
Regular Waterline is self-serve and free. The $49 brief is a separately paid manual review for one movement.
