Holiday Shipping Preparation
Holiday shipping has been increasingly demanding for the past few years, is your business ready?
The pumpkins are barely put away before many in the world are ready to hang their stocking and start holiday shopping. For those of us in the shipping industry, the holidays are well underway. With the impact of the port congestion and increased demand we are seeing a high demand for shipping solutions.
Is your team ready? And by team, we are referring to your internal folks as well as your shipping company. For our clients, we see ourselves as part of that team. We’re with you, headaches, triumphs and all until the goods reach their final destination. There is a huge benefit for clients working with brokers all year long, however, during the holidays it’s especially crucial. Clients need to leverage whatever they can to get source capacity. Having the right team on their side is going to get their goods from the port and to them quicker and more efficiently.
There are still some things working against all of us, CA restrictions are limiting truckers, this is due to their emissions laws and insurance requirements that prohibit some owner-operators from simply going to CA and pulling freight. In addition to the increased demand, the trucking industry is facing a huge trucker shortage. This is even more reason to have an experienced, reliable broker on your side.
The Sparrow Logistics difference comes in the form of service. We are transparent, open and honest in our communication. We are not a call center; you speak to us directly. We have the relationship with our clients & drivers to get the job done. We like to educate and empower our clients and work with them to determine the best way to transport their goods.
We always recommend having a good broker in your corner, but especially during the holiday shipping season. We believe a good broker should feel the same as an asset carrier with trucks across the country. Having a reliable broker on your team will get your products safely to you.
