“When it comes to your freight needs, Freight Goalz is number one in communication, support, and getting the job done! I’m new to the world of freight and recently started working for a grill manufacturing company, they have helped me with countless shipments and have been able to communicate with me to help me better understand everything that goes on and I have ZERO complaints! They have super-competitive rates and have been my number 1 choice every time.

I woke up at 6 am the other day to a notice that our newest office supply client wanted us to deliver two tractor trailers worth of photocopy paper in Montreal ASAP. This was significantly more than we had originally thought we’d be delivering. Scale and size are all relative, so for our sister branch in Montreal, getting two extra tractor trailers on a drop of a dime is no easy feat. But everyone knows AlmCrown likes a challenge, and there’s nothing that wakes you up more than an impossible feat. So I pulled some strings, made some calls, and found a way. Rush jobs are always stressful, and this particular client comes with a variety of logistical complications. But it’s also the nature of our industry. And at this point, you’re either keeping up or falling behind. I’d like to think we’re keeping up. __ 👋 Hi, I’m Jason. I run a logistics company that specializes in customized deliveries.

Greetings everyone! Just want to see people’s perspective on the following: Do transportation managers/logistics coordinators have a reasonable excuse for being rude towards cold callers? While they may receive numerous similar calls daily, is that a justification for being impolite or even using profanity? Now, I do understand it if the prospector is being immensely pushy, arrogant, and refuses to end the conversation… but if it’s a courteous call and the solicitor is super professional- is it justifiable? #etiquette #communication #professionalism #coldcalling #freightbrokers

Picture this: you've got a hustler on your team, hitting the phones, ticking off tasks, and getting the job done. Sounds great, right? But what if you could see the whole picture? "Hey, why go to the load board instead of reaching out directly?" Imagine if they could show you in an instant: "I emailed the top five carriers, but the rates were higher. So, I posted it, and we snagged a better deal!" This visibility isn't just about oversight—it's about understanding their strategy. But here's the twist. What if the environment adds unnecessary stress? Imagine your rep juggling multiple sites, drowning in emails, and buried in data entry. Then, when you ask, "Why the load board?" it's met with sighs of overwhelm. Let's simplify. Streamline the process and empower the team. Don't add hoops; remove obstacles. Celebrate their thought process, not just the outcome. Check out the full conversation with Cargo Chief's Chris Arredondo and Tai Software's Sean McGillicuddy on how to master your carrier network: https://lnkd.in/ehNVWuRZ #tipthursday #empoweryourteam #simplifyforsuccess #3pllogistics #freight #freighttech

How I Got an Urgent Pallet from Northampton to Carlisle in 5 Hours! You know those jobs that come in where the clock’s already ticking? This was one of those. We got a booking at 11:15 AM urgent pallet delivery from Northampton to a team of contractors working on a school in Carlisle. Sounds simple enough, right? Except it had to be there before 5:30 PM because the contractors were packing up for the day. No pressure! Here’s how we made it happen: 1️⃣ First things first—get the booking info spot on. Before we even confirmed, we made sure all the details were in order. No room for mistakes when time is tight. 2️⃣ Next, find the closest driver. We pinpointed who could get there the fastest and got them on the road ASAP. Timing was everything! With the driver en route and our team keeping everything on track, we managed to get the pallet there with time to spare. Crisis averted, contractors happy. Job done! Can you think of a sticky situation where an Emergency courier could have helped? ❤️ urgent deliveries ♻️ Share if I can help your network 📥 to read later

Whilst designed to ensure the long-term success of your business, you’ll absolutely see the immediate benefit of Merchanter following implementation. Here’s what Mike at Building Supplies Ltd had to say about the quick wins: "Our goal when choosing to implement Merchanter was to improve every area of our business in some way, whether that change was a big or even just a small improvement. And I’m happy to say, there have been lots of wins! The searchability and visibility throughout the whole system makes every task, quicker, easier and that bit less painful. Due to the multiple ways in which Merchanter can deal with customer price terms, we are saving at least three working days per month on invoicing and invoice issues, which makes a huge difference and really adds up across the year.”
