Don’t Get Blindsided by Online Bidding

Upcoming Audio Conference, “Online Bidding- Is It Here to Stay? Are You Ready?”

Alexandria, Virginia – The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) is pleased to announce its upcoming audio conference, “Online Bidding- Is It Here to Stay? Are You Ready?” On April 22 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m ET.

More and more shippers are turning to online bidding when requesting quotes (RFQs) for transportation services. This audio conference will help carriers understand how to get involved in online bidding and also understand what to expect on bidding day. Participants will learn step-by-step how to prepare their bids and what strategies to use. Carrier speakers who have had successful experience with online bidding will share best practices and talk about the benefits and the “pitfalls” of online bidding. They will learn the shipper side of online bidding from a senior logistics manager with a 4th party logistics supply chain management company that manages General Motor logistics.

The audio conference will feature Kevin Burch, President, Jet Express, Inc. Dayton, OH, Dave Burgess, Pricing Analyst, Swift Transportation, Phoenix, AZ and Michael Caruso, Senior Logistics Manager, Vector SCM, Novi, MI.

This informative audio conference is perfect for CEO’s, CFO’s, Operations, Personnel, Customer Service, Pricing, and anyone dealing with Requests for Quotations (RFQs).
