WFX Logistics’ Post

I always talk to our carriers and shippers about creating a culture that supports each other and helps each other win. You know, true partnerships. Yesterday I was working with a new carrier to our network trying to reposition their truck from NV/CA to TX. We did not have a shipment for them, but we did have a TX shipment that they wanted. The dispatcher asked if I could help her with booking a shipment from a different broker as she was in the truck driving and could not search the load boards. I obliged and we got on a conference call together and called on a few loads. We made 3 calls to 3 different brokers...... (1 small and 2 large companies) As a freight broker myself, I was embarrassed by what I experienced and heard on the phone. Few observations: 1. No one let me know their names. 2. 2 spoke so fast and with such disinterest in their voice that it made it seem as though I was a bother. 3. Hold time (Small broker 2 minutes, large brokers 14 minutes and 17 minutes) 4. If these were all "Carrier Sales" roles, not a single person was interested in selling and/or growing their carrier network 5. The largest broker did not follow up via email or phone yesterday (still hasn't in fact. I checked this morning) It's no wonder why carriers do not like dealing some freight brokers. The carrier that I was working with asked why more freight brokers aren't like us. (Cue Kendrick's "Not Like Us") #og1mc #freight #transportation #broker #sales #trucking #notlikeus

Over the last 6 yrs, I've recruited agents that weren't a good fit. Signs that a new freight agent may not work out: Customers don’t follow as promised. Poor Communication/ slow responses. Negative Attitude Fails to take accountability. Low volume / low margins Repeatedly fails to improve after assuring there would be improvement What other signs are there to look out for? #3PL #logistics #freightbrokerage #freightagent
