Safety Beyond the Numbers

FXG is releasing new KPIs and safety scoring processes.  What do we need to know about the new FXG system?  What are the optimal practices for actually being more safe on the road?  Where do the two not connect perfectly and how do we manage that disconnect optimally?

After the Boom Time, What Comes Next?

Three years of pandemic-fueled ecommerce growth spoiled us.  The new reality is margin pressure from all fronts – driver costs, equipment costs, etc. – along with seasonal and economic slow downs in freight volume.  How can we best adapt to a higher cost, lower volume environment so that we can survive and thrive in the FXG network?

Trucks – Know When to Hold ‘Em, Know When to Fold ‘Em

The FXG contractor model creates different incentives compared to outside in the broader trucking industry.  Whether leasing or buying, asset lifecycle decisions have obvious costs but there are hidden costs and benefits that need to be discussed and understood.  Are trucks going to get cheaper or more expensive in ’23 and ’24?  How will supply/demand in the truck market change as the economy unfolds?  Are we getting ready to hit an iceberg in the form of CARB’24?

Would You Drive For You?

Recruiting, motivating and retaining drivers in an environment of freight volume inconsistency and unpredictability isn’t easy.  How do you build a culture in your operation that motivates good drivers to stick with you?  How can you structure payroll and benefits to keep drivers happy but still manage the bottom line?  How do you communicate effectively with drivers about the variability you’re dealing with as a TSP?
