Education

Employee onboarding can be challenging, costly, and time-consuming, but the New Employee Orientation Course from Transportation Intermediaries Association eases the burden providing an overview of rules/regulations, business ethics, how to sell, and more!

 

The Temperature Control Transport Course is geared toward individuals looking to understand the critical issues and concepts involved in transferring perishable loads. The course covers important topics such as industry characteristics, heat and trailer conditions, impact of packaging, loading of perishable products and inspections.

 

TIA Members have grown their businesses from small start-ups to mulit-billion-dollar companies. These are the men and women who invented the 3PL industry and are the ones who wrote this Independent Contractor Course. Take advantage of their 30+ years of 3PL experience and knowledge.

Beth Carroll and her team at the Prosperio Group are collecting data for the 2021 Compensation Survey. Participants who provide their compensation data will receive three-months of complimentary access to the online report. During these unprecedented times, it is more vital to know what other companies are paying or you could lose your top talent or be left behind in your recruiting efforts. Please Note: We have moved to an all-digital format for the Compensation Survey and will no longer produce printed versions. What you need to do to participate:

  1. Download the excel pay file.
  2. Complete pay file and return to measureup@prosperiogroup.com
  3. Register your company at measure-up.net.

As always, we adhere to all DOJ rules in regard to compensation surveys. The more participation we have the more valuable the tool is for everyone. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at beth.carroll@prosperiogroup.com or 815-302-1030.
