🔹Happy Easter to all!🔹 In the midst of preparing for this weekend of family gatherings, friendly celebrations, and acknowledging gratitude for all that we have, consider saying thank you to a trucker. In the United States alone, the trucking industry is responsible for transporting over 70% of all freight tonnage annually. This statistic highlights the indispensable role that truckers play in our nation's economy. Delivering goods ranging from food and clothing to electronics and construction materials, A trucker gets needed freight to every corner of the country no matter the day or time.

Last week, Michael Sternberg, Sid Kato, and I traveled to Louisville, Kentucky, to attend Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS). The event was larger than any other industry event I've attended, and I'd like to share a few key takeaways. 1. Carriers view Brokers in a very negative light. This is something that needs to be addressed. Neither business exists without the other, so instead of working against one another, we need to find a path forward to work beside one another that benefits all parties in a positive light. 2. The presence of numerous families at MATS underscored the familial nature of the trucking industry. During MATS, an idea popped into my head that would actually consider where a trucker lives and recommend lanes that keep him or her closer to home while continuing to stay profitable. Most of us take for granted how good we have it when we get to go home each night to our families after work. 3. Despite not directly serving the asset community, our participation at MATS proved invaluable. It highlighted the importance of ongoing collaboration with brokers, carriers, and shippers to enhance the shipping lifecycle. Going forward, we plan on attending other supply chain events that give us a better viewpoint from all angles of our industry so that we can better serve our users and their customers. Now, we are changing our focus to TIA. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in April! #3plsystems #brokerware #carriers #supplychain #mats #partners #customers

Happy Monday, everyone! 🌞 Let's kick off the week with some exciting news from the freight world. 🚚 According to the latest update from FreightWaves, the summer shipping demand is giving the truckload market a much-needed boost . It’s like our industry’s version of a summer blockbuster—full of action, excitement, and a few plot twists along the way! Picture this: trucks lined up like sunbathers on a beach, engines revving and ready to tackle the surge in shipments. The demand is heating up, and our trucks are ready to roll with it, ensuring every package gets to its destination faster than you can say “road trip!” In all seriousness, this uptick in demand is a positive sign for the industry. It's a chance for us to shine and show just how resilient and adaptable we can be. So, whether you're a shipper, a broker, or a driver, let’s embrace this wave of activity with enthusiasm and a dash of humor. As we dive into the week, let’s remember to keep the lines of communication open, stay flexible, and most importantly, enjoy the ride. Here’s to a fantastic week ahead filled with opportunities and successes! #MondayMotivation #FreightNews #SummerShipping #TruckingLife #LogisticsLaughs PS: Check out our crew below.... LOL we're too fast for you. Disclosure.. I am kidding, about the crew part.

There’s no excuse to not understand your capacity around the Holidays. That said, I asked Santa for 50 refrigerated trucks and drivers for Christmas this year 🤣 Our teams are already keeping a pulse on our core carriers’ plans for running over the Holidays. And typically, we see about 30% of our network sit out Christmas through the first week of January. Produce volumes have been down some this year which will help, but the holidays and the observance of Russian new year for a lot of the PNW carriers puts a serious strain on capacity for produce and food heavy brokerages like us. We have to become more nimble and proactive in our carrier sourcing and try as best as we can to book trucks early, and spread out scheduling with any flexibility we may have. We may have to reach further into routing guides or go to spot markets more than we typically would like. And at the end of the day, we put our customers over our profits. There have been many times over a Holiday where our profits on a load are slim to none, but it’s never worth risking service failures and straining relationships for a few days out of the year. And on that note, it's also about empowering our operations teams to do the right thing. If profits were known to be the driving force of the organization then our people would sooner fail a load than breakeven, then what a terrible environment that would create for them, and that would likely not allow us to enjoy the long term relationships we have with our shipper partners or carrier partners. One of my biggest pet peeves is when you hear of brokers giving back freight around Holidays same day or with short notice citing capacity issues. You had weeks to prepare for that, it was no surprise. What they mean is, "we could not cover at profit so we now don't want to take it" This is a year round partnership, freight does not stop for Holidays and neither should strong partnerships. If you genuinely will be running at reduced capacity, start communicating that early so your shippers' can make alternative arrangements. Happy Holidays! Happy capacity hunting! #logistics #supplychain #trucking #freight

According to Fleet Owner, truckers play a crucial role in maintaining road safety with the surge in road activity during Thanksgiving. Zenith Logistics resonates with the advice from the American Trucking Association's Share the Road program, emphasizing the importance of truckers adhering to safe practices. As our trucking community gears up for the holiday rush, here are essential reminders: - Buckle up for every journey. - Clear your truck of ice and snow for optimal visibility. - Navigate cautiously, especially when roads are slippery. - Take breaks when needed and stay alert. - Stay conscious of your truck's blind spots and signal intentions. - Avoid distractions and stay focused. - Ensure your truck is serviced and ready for longer hauls. - Start your journeys early to account for potential delays. 🚕 Keep a safe distance from vehicles ahead. Stay updated with traffic patterns to avoid congestion. Truckers are the backbone of our festive supply chain. As you transport goods across the country, ensuring your safety and that of others on the road is paramount. Let's make this Thanksgiving a safe one for all! #ZenithLogistics #SafetyFirst #ShareTheRoad
