We’re in an age where constant connectivity and digital workflows are streamlining myriad processes within freight transactions. From posting loads and managing documents to making sure the shipper is properly invoiced so the carrier’s payment cycle can begin. Transportation management systems, telematics, and cloud-based business applications are giving 3PLs and freight brokers the information they need to make sound decisions and collaborate with their partners in the supply chain.

In this episode of the TIA Delivers Podcast, we sit down with Beth Carroll, Managing Principal of Prosperio Group, who provides insights into the four-part series she recently wrote for TIA's 3PL Perspectives magazine. The four-part series, “The Economics of Commissions,” details the different approaches and methods used to figure sales commissions. Her unique perspective and range of industry knowledge are extremely valuable to the 3PL community. This is an episode that you won't want to miss!

"As an HR professional working in the logistics industry, I have gained some understanding of the transportation and logistics world from my co-workers and being involved in the business. However, I never had the framework from the ground up—this course grew my knowledge immensely and gave me that foundation. It has increased my confidence to engage in conversations and it has earned me additional respect from my fellow logistics team members. I am very happy that I am now certified!" – Erica Wertanen, CTB - Automated Logistics Systems

Our industry is being asked to perform and extend services in ways that we have never seen before during these unparalleled times as our great nation pulls together.

3PLs are rethinking business as usual to meet the supply chain demands and to open capacity nationwide, particularly in the Van/Refer carrier space. With the high volume demands to move these loads, our members are having to meet more shipper requirements of $2m for truck liability to keep loads moving.

To help solve this shipper requirement, TripExcess provides a free quote engine and provides you with direct access to increase their motor carrier’s insurance limits on a transactional/per-shipment basis, with the ability to issue a Certificate of Additional Coverage without a wait and within minutes at a cost of $50 to $125 per transaction.

Get started by visiting www.tripexcess.com/TIA. This online process is simple, fast, and allows you to respond quickly at any time and anywhere with an available app.

TripExcess is here to help you meet the supply chain demands that our industry is experiencing, with a solution that’ll help keep trucks moving!
