New Year, New Opportunities

2010...Wow!

I was remembering the other day, elementary school back in the 60's. The subject came up of how old we would all be in the year 2000...and how our teacher at the time told us that was a long way off, no need to worry about it today! The long way off was 10 years ago!

As we begin this new year, much more come's to mind than just school in the '60s. The numerous clients that started or expanded their transportation careers using our services. Be it a Workshop, Manual, Directory or any number of tools and services we offer, the numbers are astounding.

Like the housewife in Texas that wanted to quit cleaning houses for a living and decided to begin brokering freight as an agent. With-in 30 days she was making $1000.00 a week.

Or the brokerage start-up in California who decided to forego the broker agent route in lieu of obtaining their own authority... they moved over 2,000 loads in their first 10 months.

Perhaps the Freight Forwarder from Alabama that decided to take over the domestic ground transportation part of his buisiness in order to add to his profit margin.

Maybe the mother and daughter in Florida that decided to step out and start their own brokerage in order to assist a single account and now broker freight for many shippers.

Even the trucking company in Indiana that knew they needed to find their own accounts and decided that learning to broker freight was their best chance for doing so. Soon after they were able to add to their revenue from not only their own accounts but also the added monies from being able to broker their excess freight.

Deep into our second decade of assiting thousands in the transportation industry with our products & services we know that a New Year brings New Opportunities for not only us but you as well. With each opportunity we wish you the greatest luck!

With that I'm reminded of this quote "Isn't it funny that the better prepared I am the luckier I get..."

Happy New Year!
