Recently I had a challenging conversation with a CEO who also happens to be a friend. He called to talk about the impact that rising freight costs are having on profitability. After listening for a while, I interrupted and said, "I get it. You're upset. But you need to stop blaming and start supporting your transportation people." In fact, I felt so strongly about this that I made it the topic in my recent “Note to CEO" blog post.
In this week’s Two Minute Warning video we highlight the fact that anyone working in logistics is likely to be reporting higher costs month after month. So if you want to support your logistics team, C-Level executives need to have at least a rudimentary awareness of industry-wide pricing issues.
That's why we're offering to provide a "C-Level Presentation" in which we would review the basic trends we're seeing in the transportation marketplace with your C-Suite and then open for questions. Sign up here or send us an email to learn more.
Curious what other insights we've shared about the transportation market? Here are two resources to check out:
Recording of our latest Perfect Storm webinar (for shippers only) - This webinar included logistics executives from The Home Depot, SanMar, HubGroup, YRC Worldwide, and FTR. It's available for download within our Transportation Storm Center.
Note to CEO blog series in Logistics Management - The fifth blog in this series just came out this week and you can read it here as well as find links to the rest of the series.
We provide all of this because we're on your team, here to help, and passionate about seeing you be successful.
