Are you a trucking company at a crossroads?
Growth hurdles, process bottlenecks, network imbalances, technology headaches, succession planning, customer demands – these are challenges that all companies face.
With almost 30 years in trucking and logistics, 7 years on the operational side and over 20 years in technology, I have helped hundreds of companies make crucial, business-altering decisions at critical inflection points in their progress.
In working extensively with owners, executives, GM’s, managers, and the front line, I’ve seen these challenges handled really well, really poorly, and everything in between. I know the common ingredients of success and the common mistakes of failure.
Here is what I can help you with:
Management structure
Clear designation of responsibility and accountability underpins all successful growth cultures, starting with the senior levels of management. Clear structure enables your front line to have the support they need to succeed with confidence. It also allows you as the owner to begin stepping away from the day-to-day and focus on what is important to you.
Data and reporting
Identifying, finding, and presenting the numbers you need to properly analyze your business to improve tactical and strategic decision making, in a format that works for you.
Network balance
Customer demands and driver needs can often seem to drive higher costs blended with revenue gaps in a freight network that already has you scrambling to fill headhauls or backhauls. Knowing where to look for the right freight and how to design your network can help you find the right balance.
New growth and new markets
How to plan for new growth and find new markets, and how to execute successfully on those plans profitably while managing risk and enhancing your network.
Technology
How to use it properly and maximize its benefits. Looking for new technology and better integration? I can help you identify, select and implement the best technology systems and tools for your unique business and just as important – make sure all your systems are sharing data with each other (and you) to optimize your business operations.
