Have you ever had to work with Homeland Security, FBI, ATF, Police or any other Government agency in regards to "Suspect Freight" in your possession (Carrier or Warehouse)? Have you ever had the Dogs come through your warehouse, onto your terminal dock or into your truck/trailer looking for illegal contraband? When presented with a warrant, do you cooperate? I'm just so surprised to hear the professionals we work with from these agencies tell us how many people in Freight Transportation do NOT cooperate. The funniest thing is the last time we had one of these agencies visit our facility, I (The Owner) was working in Miami. lol I looked suspicious, until they found out I was there working on a Government contract. lol Its our position that its best to cooperate and do everything you can to help the authorities. Who are these people in Transportation Logistics that don't?

Good afternoon everyone. My name is Chris Sonnek and I currently work at a 3PL in Minneapolis, MN. It's been my only job out of college. That means that my last interview was about 6 years ago. I have an interview on Wednesday for an in house position. Any last second tips/advice would be much appreciated!

Don't be afraid to get your feet wet !

I’ve been in business 12 years and have never factored anything. Those that do Factor What is the biggest motivator for you? Cash Flow? Collections? Your Credit? Anything else? Is it worth the percentage you pay out and that’s not hitting your books as part of your profit?

@Ed Burns shared great comment today on ideal freight market. We may not ever see the ideal market again until we can resolve the tensions between carriers and brokers. Understand Fraud and week market are driving most of the tensions. This network on SKOOL may all be professional and working to collaborate, we need to drive the message through all carriers & brokers. I have been engaging with OOIDA to assist with the tensions. They represent over 100,000 O/O in the USA alone. All of you can make a difference by valuing each other, all the brokers here KNOW, if you bought it a truck brought it. Be the difference all, the industry will benefit and all of us on this network. Believe this may be a TED talk, not really sure what a TED talk is? If I am wrong trust the team here will set me straight. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bill-robinson-00476a2_supplyanddemand-carriers-brokers-activity-7118626087340822528-aEbG?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop
