Farm Raised Work Ethic | Profit is the byproduct of doing everything right! | Hustle every day! | ❤️ Sales | 304-964-3950 | [email protected] | My reputation is my business card
I’m very fortune as a Freight Broker at the amount of exposure I have had in this industry in such a short amount of time. This morning I had breakfast with Ed Raske who is the VP of sales for Covenant a super carrier. Ed and my client do business together and we have became friends. Through conversations, I get to see how larger trucking companies operate and how they price their services. I got to visit their corporate HQ recently in Chattanooga and meet his team I talk to daily. How they engineer loads to keep the expedited team fleet of over 900 trucks moving. Ed and I have a lot in common in the way we approach sales. He knew we would do business, and when the timing was right, and finally we did. Never pushy, but always available, and how to convey the value you bring to an organization. I made a poor business decision and Ed was there to bail me out. Ed moves around 45 loads a week on average and yesterday we added another 13 loads. One of my clients gave me an office at their warehouse. I work side by side with their employees. We both took a leap of faith and trusted one another. I moved my family from FL to TN to watch over portions of the business. That decision I didn’t take lightly. I had to uproot my kids from their schools and environment. I make decisions daily that impact my clients business, it’s critical, I get it right. I get to see first hand how a warehouse works. How safety and culture plays a large part of the operation. Safety glasses while on a forklift or high vis vest while in the warehouse for example. My client is in a very niche business where only 8 carriers out of all the carriers that can move carpet and flooring from start to finish. I get to greet and speak to truck drivers daily who are coming in to pick up my clients loads. I’m in the trenches on many fronts, and it’s awesome to see how all the departments work together. Friday at 4:00 PM my team and I threw a hot load together for my clients client, saving the day and will make the install on-time. I knew who to call, and I try to bring a solution for any situation as they are all unique. I get to sell freight too. Next month for the 3rd time I’m going on the road to sell LTL services. I’m going to the New England area, and while I am there I will grab some beers with Michael DeMarco. Reflecting back on this past year, I feel I understand the supply chain on levels a typical Freight Broker never gets to experience. I’m in a class (far from his experience) with my friend Jeff Dickinson, where you see things from not an 3PL office, but from truly a shipper perspective. I’m feeling very thankful for the opportunities this industry has given me. I’m wearing my buddy Max company swag at Race-West Company. Another great family I met from this platform. God Bless you all and happy selling.

Recruiting/Verifications Manager @ National Carriers, Inc. | Employee Coaching, Relationship Building | Entrepeneur | Self Published Children's Book Author
🚛 Passionate about Driver Recruiting and Honesty in Trucking 🚚 I'm Jerrit Judie, and I'm driven by the power to positively impact lives through driver recruiting. The ability to change someone's situation for the better is what fuels my passion every day. Working for a company that genuinely cares about its drivers is rare in today's trucking industry. At National Carriers, we go above and beyond to ensure each employee feels valued and satisfied. In an industry where trust is hard to come by, honesty and integrity matter most. Many carriers lure drivers with dishonest promises, but we believe in recruiting with transparency. We'd rather be forthright from the start—even if it means some drivers may choose not to join us. Our goal is simple: hire every individual who walks through our doors, but we refuse to compromise honesty for numbers. Trust matters, and in an industry where word-of-mouth is powerful, we know that drivers talk. Looking for a company that values honesty? Give National Carriers a call today at 469-586-2580! Let's drive forward together with integrity. #DriverRecruitment #HonestyInTrucking #NationalCarriers

While not one to post much on LinkedIn to start a conversation, my team assures me that sharing my story may help others see DSV Road as a reliable and trustworthy business partner. So here it goes. Over 20 years ago, my wife and I made the life-changing decision to sell our trucks and dive into the 3PL world. With a mortgage and bills to pay, but fueled by passion, I approached a flatbed broker in Medford, Oregon, to join their agent program. After a series of interviews, the wife and I dropped off the kids and headed west for the first time - wide-eyed, broke, and ready to conquer the brokerage world. Visiting Crater Lake made us feel small, but the Medford Operations team welcomed us like family, training us everything about track and trace, contracts, carrier services, credit lines, scammers, and more. Thirteen years later, DSV acquired our beloved Medford 3PL team, infusing new life and energy into the program. After a few rounds of negotiations, I transitioned my franchise and accepted the role of Over Dimensional Manager at DSV Road North America Corporate. In the years that followed, my original team and I have been fortunate to take on various corporate roles that have helped develop the North American Road Brokerage divisions. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities DSV has provided and humbled by the success of the teams and the organization as a whole. Recently, DSV requested that I refocus on the agent program, recognizing the need to scale the program and develop new talent. Our recent team efforts have centered on promoting, recruiting, refining processes, and establishing the DSV agent program as a haven for entrepreneurial logistics professionals. Thus my self-promotion and yes I am uncomfortable doing this but duty calls .. So, I'm at the beginning of a series of posts, and if you'd like to see other interesting stories and observations from my experience, please repost this post and click "Like" :) 👉 Join DSV Road Agent Program: https://t.ly/RJgBI

To my contacts: I have been on a big quest for some time now. I would like to let all my Linkedin contacts know of my appreciation to all the people who have taken some time out of their busy schedule to talk with me about their ground transportation business experience in driver and vehicle compliance. Some of these folks are LI connections and will see this post. Others are not connected but have provided valuable insights equally as helpful. You/they have helped me learn more about their industry so that I can continue to hone my early-stage business' solution toward a sharper and higher-value fit. My primary focus is with safety & compliance managers. But importantly I've also spoken with small business owners, operations managers, and CDL drivers. I have a lot more conversations to establish over the next couple months. It's all about them and NOT sales. I'd rather they don't know about my business ahead of time. I won't even bring up my business unless they ask at the end of the call (still not a sales call). The people I have spoken with have been generous. Though I may never be able to return the favor directly, I will do my best to pay it forward. If anyone might be able to make an introduction to any of those types of folks, I would appreciate it greatly. US ground transportation companies, small and medium sized are ideal. Just in case my appeal isn't good enough, I included the puppy eyes! #groundtransportation #safetymanagement #owners #complianceofficer

US/Mexico 🇺🇸🇲🇽Cross Border Freight Transportation | Rail Intermodal | Domestic Truckload Transportation | Landstar Independent Agent
What motivates me to make those sales calls and send those emails is the prospect and opportunity to meet and get to know someone new. A fresh name, a fresh group of people, a new email contact to work with. Who are they? Where are they? Chicago? Ontario CA? Hattiesburg MS? Is it a he, is it a she? Are they genuinely nice people to work with? Think about it, the idea of getting to know someone new is refreshing. This doesn’t mean we think any less of our current clients, or don’t get the pleasure of communicating with them daily because we do, and we should. But there’s something nice about meeting new people and getting to know them. It also helps if you generally like most people. In the business of freight transportation this can also be extended to the carriers we work with. The dispatcher, the O/O, the Landstar BCO, basically anyone we do business with. I think we have stop and smell the blessings sometimes and appreciate the human contact we have on a daily basis. #freight #shipping #logistics #trucking #freightbrokers #freightagent #landstar

You'll have to excuse my gratitude post: Almost 3 years ago, I started working for H. E. Williams, Inc. I was given the opportunity to work on a little trucking project called Williams Logistics, Inc. In 2020, we had outdated equipment, processes, and partnerships. The company quickly dwindled from 6 to 2 employees. I struggled with driver turnover and recruitment. Since then, we have accomplished the following: 1. Amassed an office team with over 70 years of combined industry experience. 2. Hired some of the best drivers in the industry, many of whom are million+ milers. 3. Built relationships with core customers and brokers in the industry. 4. Decreased our deadhead percentage by 40%. 5. Increased our revenue by 46%. 6. Saved thousands of dollars through partnerships with fuel and maintenance vendors. 7. Increased the size of the fleet to 15 trucks and 30 trailers. None of this would have been possible without the support of folks with more experience and knowledge than me. Build yourself a team of people who each bring experience to an area where you are weak. #trucking #logistics #freight #gratitude

OTR Truck driving isn’t a real job. I don’t mean it’s easy - it’s incredibly hard I don’t mean it’s not a humble and noble profession - it absolutely is And I don’t mean that it isn’t necessary- it’s way more necessary than about 95% of all other jobs in the world What I mean is it’s not based on reality Normal time doesn’t exist when your OTR - the only time that matters is on-time Surroundings don’t matter - the only thing that matters is the address of the shipper and receiver And if you’re solo like me - you spend almost your entire life on the road with no more human interaction than what you get from the truck stop cashier It can lead to some serious existentialism Occasionally you chat up another driver and hit it off And then you both set off, alone It’s hands down been the hardest job I’ve ever had With some luck, I’ll be off the road come February, managing operations from home and starting the next phase of the business But I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to drive OTR It’ll make me a better dispatcher It’ll make me a better broker It’s already made me a stronger person Roll on 18 wheelers and all my fellow expediters #freight #trucking #truckingindustry #logistics

📆 Another week done, it’s Friday. 👍 The best bit of the week was some referrals for additional drivers that we were able to do for a larger client of ours. As they have grown, they’re interviewing large numbers of drivers for their growing fleet of vehicles. Being able to get same-day answers from our insurer helped the client with their hiring process. ✨ What was your highlight of the week? #commercialinsurance #transport #haulage #insurancebroker
