Commercial Carrier University Publications
Commercial
Carrier University, created through a partnership between
the Truckload Carriers Association's Truckload Academy and
Randall Trucking Media, offers a series of manuals geared
toward trucking companies. Manuals may be downloaded directly
by clicking on the links below or can be ordered in print
format for larger quantities (CLICK HERE
for complete details).
How
to Recruit and Retain Drivers - Do you train everyone
who answers the phone about how to handle calls from prospective
drivers? Do you maintain contact with good drivers who leave
or turn you down? An acknowledged expert in driver recruitment
and retention takes you step by step through strategies
aimed at getting the drivers you want and keeping them during
the critical first 30 days and beyond.
How
to Evaluate Life-Cycle Costs - Discusses when and
how to replace vehicles for optimum efficiency, productivity
and profitability. A well thought-out replacement strategy
is the basis for an efficient fleet operation and a foundation
for other decisions regarding your business.
How
to Manage Cash Flow - Does it sometimes scare you
when you compare your bank balances to your near-term obligations?
Wise trucking company executives know -- often through hard
experience -- that cash is by far more critical to a carrier's
continued viability than profits. This manual explores trucking
companies' opportunities for building a comfortable cash
cushion through smart management of receivables and payables
as well as internal controls aimed at thwarting fraud and
abuse.
