Digitizing Processes and Improving Business Relationships We live in a day and age centered around digitalization. The business order entry process is no different, in which the conversation centers around real-world examples digitizing the order, and how resources and procedures have been adjusted to leverage the available technology. Thank you to our 2019 Technovators
Industry News and AdvocacyI am so blessed to have three healthy and amazing children who are five, three, and 4-months old. Since they are all under the age of six and obviously not dating or driving yet, the most pressing issue that keeps me up at night is doing my best to build some inheritance. Personally, I utilize several retirement tools including a traditional 401(k) and a Fixed Index Life Insurance Policy to protect my wife and I when we retire as well as grow our inheritance for our children. At this very moment, Congress is getting ready to pass legislation that would drastically change the game for “stretch” IRAs commonly used for retirement planning. Truckload van shipments on the top 100 van lanes nearly hit a record high last week. In past years, a surge in fall freight almost always caused rates to move higher. This year we've seen two consecutive weeks of rising van volumes, yet rates are still slipping. TIA is seeking young professionals to join our Young Executives Committee. Historically, the Young Executives Committee exclusively held an annual lunch event at the April Conference, and no formal activities ensued until the next year. But with the increasing number of young professionals joining the 3PL industry, the moment is ripe to formalize the committee and provide our members with a platform for networking and information sharing with the next generation of leaders within TIA. TIA has partnered with the Addiction Policy Forum, a national nonprofit, to address substance use disorders in the workplace. The partnership will allow you and your employees a confidential, app-based counseling service free of charge. We are passionate about beginning work on this initiative to help our members help employees in need.
