YOU’RE EITHER MOVING AHEAD OR FALLING BEHIND. NOTHING IN LIFE IS STAGNANT. In business, October and November are traditionally annual budget planning months for the coming year. In addition to forecasting revenue, expenses, and profit margins, the fourth quarter is also when current providers are reexamined – in this case, for 2023. Will you maintain the status quo, or explore fresh options that could be more valuable and effective for your business? Freight brokers can’t control the supply chain, fuel costs, worker shortages, or warehouse capacity. However, the critical factors they CAN control should cause a transportation professional like yourself to reconsider your options and investigate a new partner. For example: 🚛 PERSONAL, DEDICATED RESOURCE. Who’s your devoted, dependable, reliable go-to partner in the clutch? Who’s there for you every single time when the chips are down – and even when they’re not? Or are you placed in the queue, waiting (forever) to speak with someone unfamiliar with your situation? 🚛 RESPONSE TIME. Measured in minutes, not hours or days. 24/7. Does your broker take their laptop home at night, standing at the ready for you, like a protective sentinel? Time is your valuable asset. Does your broker really get that? How do you know? 🚛 COMMUNICATION. There’s basic information-sharing; think of it as a cold, one-way street. Then there’s listening – really hearing you – discussing issues that help you and your operation become more efficient, productive, and ** certain **. Which do you prefer? 🚛 REAL TIME SHIPMENT TRACKING. At your fingertips, removing guesswork. Technology in the palm of your hand, enabling instant decision-making on your part. 🚛 INDUSTRY-LEADING PROBLEM RESOLUTION. You should never hear about a shipment-related “hiccup” before your broker does. And, if that hiccup occurs, is your broker already on top of it – determining options before they notify you? That’s a high bar. Is your broker up to the challenge? The decision is yours. Will you fall behind in 2023 or move ahead and position yourself for even greater success? If you choose “even greater success,” we welcome the opportunity to explore the options with you based on your company’s specific transportation needs. Thank you in advance! |
