As TIA continues its efforts to provide members with exclusive, timely, and relevant benefits and services, we’re excited to announce the release of Episode 3 of TIA's Advocacy Insights Podcast! In this episode, Chris Burroughs, TIA's Vice President of Government Affairs, discusses the House's two-day marathon virtual markup of the surface transportation reauthorization bill, the INVEST Act (H.R. 2).

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) met recently and unanimously approved the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation. The regulation seeks to, “increase the market for on-road zero-emissions vehicles and to reduce emissions of pollutants, toxic air contaminants and greenhouse gases from medium- and heavy-duty on-road vehicles.” In terms of reporting requirements, the regulation does have a broker provision of which TIA Members that arrange transportation in the state of California need to be aware of. There could be penalties assessed by CARB for not meeting certain reporting requirements. This rule starts with 2024 model year vehicles.

Better decisions lead to increased margin capture. Incorporating TIA’s Certified Transportation Broker (CTB) into your employee development and training plans expresses an investment in your team and a service commitment to your customers. Sign up now for the Q3 CTB course that begins June 2020 with an online exam administered September 2020. Learn More and Register Here.

"The TIA Certified Transportation Broker course was very challenging and was full of information that was new to me. I feel better suited to progress through my career with this certification and proudly would support anyone thinking of taking on this challenge to better their career knowledge." – Owen S., Navigator Direct, Inc.

Sales Strategies for 3PLs: How to Incorporate a Buyers-Based Sales Strategy Into Your 3PL

Is your Sales Team still using features- and benefits-based sales model? If so, they are losing ground to your competitors. Training and coaching that never teaches how the buyer makes a decision and how a salesperson needs to work within these parameters will come up short in today’s 3PL marketplace. This seminar uses research that teaches how a shipper buys 3PL services, what process they expect from a professional salesperson, and how to incorporate a question-based sales approach over the phone.

July 7, 8, & 14 │ 2:00 - 4:00 PM EST Each Day

Presented by Jim Kenny, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Marketing at Western Illinois University.
