Bring your 2020 vision into the New Year for 2020 success
|
|
|
The end of one year and the start of the next is always a good time to take stock of where you’re at. That’s as true for businesses in any sector – including the rapidly-evolving transportation industry – as it is for people. Perhaps it’s time to elevate your company’s planning for 2020 with a little bit of the old and a little bit of the new when it comes to goal-setting.

Holiday and winter weather challenges
|
|
|
Congested roadways are one of the surest signs that Santa Claus is coming to town. The sheer volume of holiday shopping can cause heavy traffic at malls and retail districts even in dry weather. Add freezing rain and snow, you have yourself a headache, especially if you’re in the transportation business.

Why you should consider auto-pay with PFA
|
|
|
Are you on auto-pay with PFA for your BMC-84 or BMC-85? If not, we strongly encourage you to consider setting up automatic payments with us, especially if you are on a quarterly payment plan. Not only is this convenient, it avoids the risk of cancellation of your bond (which is required for your broker authority) due to inadvertent non-payment of an invoice. We understand how busy you are and strive to keep this vital component of your brokerage as convenient as possible as you continue to build your business.

Making yourself more marketable to Shippers
|
|
|
Recognizing that your customers are what ultimately drive your business, one of the key questions for many Freight Brokers is “how can you make yourself more marketable to Shippers?” The basics of self-marketing 101 in the transportation industry include Cargo protection, General Liability protection and Auto protection.
