Webinar: Creating Differentiation in an Increasingly Competitive Logistics Market

[from FreightWaves]

You can’t control what you can’t see. The market is feverishly growing as more 3PLs see visibility as a strategic advantage. Given the communications and compliance blind spots in a supply chain where double loading and double brokering have become more common and 3PLs are turning to unfamiliar carriers in a search for capacity, 3PLs with superior technology can separate themselves from the pack. 

Join FreightWaves as they partner with Overhaul for a live webinar on Thursday, August 4 at 11 AM ET (45 minutes), where they will discuss how you can win in the current market not just by being reliable—but by being transparent and proving the integrity and security of the products you’ve been trusted to move.

Featured speakers will include:
• Frankie Mossman, Chief Customer Officer, Overhaul
• Sara Lieser, Senior Vice President of Partnerships, Overhaul 

Register today to join FreightWaves & Overhaul for the live session.

World-Watching: Shipping Problems Webinar

Solving SMB Shipping Problems with Technology — June 14th @ 2 PM EDT

[from FreightWaves]

The supply chain challenges we hear about today likely bear little resemblance to those we envisioned at the beginning of 2020. Ongoing disruption to the global supply chain has accelerated and heightened the need to focus on risk mitigation — or face even more critical concerns.

To uncover ways small and midsized (SMB) organizations can overcome tech adoption challenges and continue to grow, FreightWaves has partnered with MyCarrier for a one-hour webinar at 2 PM EDT on Tuesday, June 14.

In this webinar, learn how SMB organizations can alleviate the pressure of industry volatility by utilizing technology to:

  1. Reduce shipping costs
  2. Maintain customer demands
  3. Source reliable capacity
  4. Ensure timely pick ups 
  5. Manage inventory
