Is your drayage operation agile and flexible enough to transition your containers outside of East Coast and Gulf ports? A potential labor strike appears imminent, threatening to shut down six of the ten busiest ports in the US. This article serves as an important heads-up, suggesting that shippers seek alternative routes for their imports and exports. At TI, our team operates from all major ports, rail hubs, rail ramps, and US ports of entry. We alleviate administrative burdens, eliminate accessorial charges and freight delays, and provide visibility for all shipments from the port to your customer's door. #TransportationInsight

#Interesting and very #DESPERATE times ... if some carriers have embraced the concept of a "Loss Leader" just to keep the doors open. The concept of ... "Yea, we lose a $1 on every sale, but we'll make it up in volume" has #NEVER worked in retail and it definitely won't work here in trucking where it's #NOT $1 per load, but hundreds of dollars per load. I get it that there are some carriers that are just barely staying alive and hoping and praying the #CashFlow will keep them alive to fight another day. But losing money on loads, is #NEVER a good idea, especially when you are struggling. I personally know of one such TL carrier with over 400 trucks out of the Northwest that may not survive the month. I hope and pray that they do, for the sake of the drivers and employees. But when #Leadership is too proud to admit their mistakes, and unwilling to accept the recommendations of those wanting and willing to assist to help the carrier survive ... and even provide those services on a Pro Bono basis (for some that may not know the term, that's for #No #Charge) ... there's not much that friends or associates can do. Anyhow, enough about that ... read the article and I'm sure you'll walk away scratching your head. https://lnkd.in/gsvQDjCb

There’s no shortage of chatter around double brokering in the freight world, and for good reason. Amazon doesn’t allow double brokering loads because it can lead to payment and safety issues.
