I received this message from one of the award-winning writers here on LinkedIn: We all know logistics is a very specific niche. Most LinkedIn experts will turn you down if you ask for help with copywriting, and many will fail if you request lead generation assistance. How do I know? I've tried with two different ghostwriters on LinkedIn with over 100k followers, and both declined, stating my niche was too specific. When I explained my target audience, they got even more confused by the titles and terminology. That’s why I created ?????????????? ???????????? : ???????????????? ???????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????????????? ???????????????? ?????????????? ???????? ??????????. ???????? ???????????????? ???? ???????? ?????? ?????????????????? ??????????????????????????

If I were to organize the sequences for career growth in the logistics industry, I might structure it like this: ?????????? ????????????: Start as a truck driver to gain firsthand experience in transportation logistics. ??????????-????????????????: Transition to becoming an owner-operator, taking on more responsibility and autonomy. ????????????????????: Move into a dispatcher role to broaden your understanding of logistics operations and planning. ?????????? ??????????: Progress to becoming a fleet owner, managing a larger operation and multiple drivers. ?????????????????? ????????????????????: Advance in logistics management positions, overseeing broader aspects of transportation operations and strategy. ?????????????? ???????????? ??????????: Transition into a freight broker agent role, gaining experience in negotiating freight deals and managing client relationships. ?????????????? ?????????????????? ??????????: Finally, consider starting your own freight brokerage, leveraging your expertise and network to build a successful business. When it comes to building a career in logistics, there's no one-size-fits-all approach. From truck driving to freight brokerage ownership, the possibilities are diverse and abundant. ???????? ?????? ???????? ?????????? ?????????? ???????? ?????? ?????????????????

???????????????????? ???? ?????? ???? ?????? ???????? ???????????????? ?????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ????????. Entrepreneurs who can't or won't delegate create bottlenecks to productivity. So why do some leaders fail to delegate effectively? ?????????????????????? ? ???????? ???? ???????????????????? ???? ???????????? ? ?????????????????? ???? ?????????? ???????????? ? ???????????????? ?????????????????? ???? ?????? ???????? ? ???????????? ? ?????????????????? ???? ???????? ?????????????? ???????? ???? ???? ???? ? ???????? ???? ???????? ? ???? '?? ???? ???? ????????' ?????????????? If you recognize yourself in any of these issues above, you probably aren't delegating enough. I used to be one of those who fell into the trap of habitual behavior—believing it was faster to do things myself and clinging to a 'I do it best' mindset. However, I eventually found myself exhausted and tired. It wasn't until I made the decision to step back, trust the process, and be patient enough to explain one more time that I began to see positive changes. So, if you're feeling tired, exhausted, or stressed in your business, it might be the perfect time to delegate.

Her experience as an immigrant becoming a truck driver than a broker and coach. Also, we will talk about branding, posting on LinkedIn, sales, etc.

Learnt a lot while moving this big guy ( 58000 lb, 132 high, 142 wide 132 length transformer) As a freight broker, we often lack insight into the carrier side, especially regarding the permit process, as we're not the ones directly responsible for obtaining permits. Our primary goal is to ensure the timely, safely pickup and delivery of the load. However, there are additional complexities involved . Some key takeaways from moving this large oil transformer are: ? Ordering Permits: It's crucial to order permits for all states the load will traverse. ?Sequential Permit Ordering: You can initiate the process by ordering the permit for the first state and coordinating with the carrier driver while waiting for permits from subsequent states. ?Negotiating Discounts: If not ordering directly from the state website, always inquire about potential discounts. ?Detailed Equipment Knowledge: Understanding the equipment in detail, including both the truck and trailer specifications, such as dimensions, axles, and tire sizes, is essential. This is a great learning experience as I try to move more oversize loads as a freight broker . Even though some people try to put me down in my previous post about dispatching I will be continuing learning and serving my customers the best possible way

?? Reflecting on a fantastic night at the Freight Tec Award party! Have received not just one, but TWO awards – one for gross profit and another for the margin. The second one was a nice surprise! ?? Celebrating our achievements with a yummy meal and enjoying some private time at the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium made the evening truly memorable. It's incredibly rewarding to see the hard work pay off. ?? Now, looking forward to some well-deserved relaxation – tubing in Soldier Hollow Nordic Center and exploring the famous Ice castles! Grateful for the recognition and excited for what lies ahead. Rachael Kauffold, CTB #FreightTecAwards #HardWorkPaysOff #TeamSuccess #Gratitude #CelebrationTime
