Anybody else see our very own @Robert Carpenter on 60 minutes last night? Exposing Chameleon Carriers and talking about the safety of all of us on our roads with these guys skirting the laws? Thank you Rob for representing all of us in Freight Logistics who care about the people, especially drivers who these rogue carriers hurt. Check out the episode here: https://www.cbsnews.com/60-minutes/

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

Cristian Ferreira here! I'm currently in Valencia, Spain. Originally from Florida. Used to work at MSC - was in import and export. Now just connecting with other people in logistics. I would love to learn more from everyone here!

The cost of doing business in freight as a small freight broker or small carrier just went up thanks to the Montgomery vs CH Robinson ruling by SCOTUS today. Here come insurers needing more money on their policies because risk and liability on the broker side just went up. The broker then in turn will require more coverage from the carriers they use. Anybody realize that the standard 1M GL is probably going to be a thing of the past? #papafreight

All my Pack and Ship facilities are ISPM-15 certified facilities where we make export crates. This High Value coffee table was picked up and packed for shipment overseas. But we were asked to ship it to Rhode Island instead. The customer wanted to visually view the table before it left the country. Inspection of high value art and furniture is a common occurrence in our niche (custom pack and ship) The worry I always have in situations like this is we foam wrapped AND Pad wrapped this table completely. In Rhode Island they ripped all of it off to inspect the table so what are they going to use to rewrap? Pad the table? Also this nullifies the “Professional Packers Insurance” coverage to the overseas destination. It stops in RI because they unpacked it there. Of course the pad wrap keeps the table from getting scuffs or rub marks on the surface of the table. I have to always explain to the client once they unpack it our packing coverage stops even if they paid us to pack it to make all the way to Italy, which we did. Everyone have a Freight Day! #PapaFreight #3pl #lsp #logistics #freight #export #crates #packing #shipping
