Hello, I wanted to inquire if it would be possible to reduce my insurance coverage or adjust the policy temporarily while I wait on aging my authority. At this time, I am not running many miles or securing loads consistently, and the current insurance cost is creating a significant overhead expense. My goal is to remain compliant while also managing expenses until I am able to secure more consistent work. If there are any options available to lower the premium, reduce mileage, or adjust coverage during this period, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. Any insight or recommendations you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Best regards,Tracon

Hello, can some please assist me in understanding why an alert comes up for some member stating possible scam, block those individuals.

We have had a few members sign up as a company with a company name etc these members are being purged and will be banned. Freight Skool is about people connecting. Not company spam. If they can’t sign up as themselves we don’t need them in the Skool. Thanks

Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a great day so far. I truly appreciate the opportunity to connect, network, and learn more about navigating the logistics industry. I am a new owner-operator with a cargo van based in Braselton, GA. My authority has been active for a little over 30 days, and I am fully FMCSA compliant. At the moment, I’m working to gain traction and secure consistent loads, so any advice, guidance, or opportunities would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Steven, for welcoming me into such a wonderful community. I look forward to learning from everyone here.

The last two years has been very challenging looking at volume and financials for my 3PL when I separate out brokerage, carrier and warehousing from our Government/Military project work. My 3PL primarily relies on commercial accounts in the local P&D, Crating and Pack and Ship services, all of which have been down these past two years. I have certainly seen an uptick in these requests and in business volume in these areas the last two months though. When looking at how we survived the last two years it’s easy to see that’s it has been the long term Government Contracts and Subcontracts that we have. They have played a huge role in filling capacity, retaining employees and maintaining cash flow while the other business has been down. Some of these contracts have been short term (A few months) but a few have been long term (10 years). I’ve been building my 3PL since 2012. The freight markets change going up and down (Any fans of Rollercoasters? lol) The bottom line is if you position yourself as a reliable partner and deliver great freight logistics results you receive and retain business (like long term Government Contracting work) that will keep you going through any kind of market. Keep going my friends and have a great day
