SPECIAL THANKS TO TRUCKERS

During this time of pandemic, the United States is more dependent on freight haulers than ever before. The trucking companies I have worked with, from New York to Washington, to Texas and Florida, have served us well. We should all be thankful we have these dedicated companies  and drivers.

STRATEGIC TRUCKING

We specialize in the trucking industry with experience in the many categories of freight hauling.

Freight moving companies are framed by the statistics they create. The numbers tell the story of the company and of each truck.

NEED FOR TRUCKS

The American Economy is dependent on freight companies for all products and most raw materials. Trucks are ubiquitous, yet their value to our economy is largely invisible. To grow, trucking companies have two competitive choices:

<> Put more trucks on the road, or
<> Better utilize existing trucks.

Many of the two-million trucking companies running ten or fewer units are barely scrapping by, operating with the notion that what's worked in the past will always work.

I have had the distinct pleasure of "saving" many of these small companies from demise. 

Some needed a complete overhaul before the tipping point was reached.

Others were doing just fine, but just wanted to streamline, get stronger, do better.

The first key to improvement is recognizing that it is needed.
