Shipping Mike Meade on LinkedIn: Sometimes you need to keep at it in different ways until you get past a… (2025)

#BusinessOwner, #President, #COO, #CEO and #FoundersDo you hear it? . . . a "drumbeat" that is getting louder and louder.Do More with Less! Do MORE with Less!There are no clear signs of an economic boom ahead, in fact likely the opposite. Fixed costs are still increasing, in many cases double digit! Yet it is not time to "hunker down". It is time to think outside the box aggressively.Now, I'm not talking about ways to squeeze your vendor base. In most cases these days, there is nothing left to squeeze. However, there are ways to operate more efficiently and reap those substantial savings. GlobalTranz has been assisting our Clients since well before the pandemic to identify hidden costs/expenses in their Supply Chain and automate, automate, automate! Quite a few (possibly your competitor?) were ahead of the curve, but there is still time to shore up. Set your company for the long haul and come out of this economy like a rocket!We know almost always, doing more with less, is a painful task but not the GlobalTranz way. All that is needed, is an open mind to new possibilities. Let's schedule a time to discuss what this would look like for your company.mmeade@globaltranz.com 775-738-6560

Truckload Carriers are about to get their due.As with this post, I agree that TL rates will jump up in Canada first. U.S. trucks will likely head North to reap the benefits of higher prices. Then a lack of U.S. trucks will drive U.S. truck prices higher.Is this the perfect storm that will create a financial mess for the U.S. and Canada.

Truckload prices should increase to accommodate rail shipments.

U.S. Jobs Report jobs revised down 810,000Looks like our govn. has finally got some numbers that reflect what is really going on in this economy. You can't see such a letting of companies/people in the freight industry over the past year and not think the movement of shipments has been down, so hence our economy.Shame and shame again for all the gas lighting.
