Strategic cargo theft is up a whopping 1,500% since 2022. We saw the potential way back when, of course, and it's why we invested in what we believe is the most robust set of carrier vetting tools and protocols in the industry.

Why? We're passionate about taking care of our partners. That's what partnership is all about, after all.

Our president, Craig Allan, shares how we do it. We hope you'll give his latest piece a read:

Freight fraud is pervasive. It’s why we invested heavily in advanced carrier vetting tools and processes. Here’s how we do it.

In this business, you know darn well that relationships are everything when it comes to resilience. These human connections make the work meaningful—and they drive us all to dig deep and lift one another up. (Sometimes literally.)

Starting a podcast doesn’t take corporate sponsors or four, five, and six-figure tech—and that means the media landscape is filled with interesting perspectives that change the way we see the world.

Looking for a new listen? These are the podcasts that keep us informed and inspired:

- Sales Gravy—and Beer Temple, Rick Garza
- Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, Cecelia Hull
- Sales Management Simplified with Mike Weinberg, Craig Allan

Of course, we’re always on the hunt, too. Have a great podcast to share? We’d love to hear about it.

From innovating systems to creating more equitable industries, women are driving critical change across the supply chain; change that makes us safer, more efficient, and more resilient. To the dynamic women in our US and Colombia offices and women everywhere—we see you and we salute you.

Happy International Women’s Day.

We are that pooper. Kicking cans down the road just isn’t our thing. Nope—we prefer the satisfying feeling of crushing them in our bare hands. Right now. So, if getting your expedited freight to its destination on time is important, we’d love to chat.

Like love, winter re**er capacity can be elusive. Need to move temperature-sensitive bottles of your finest old Constantia wine? Hot-house flowers? Maybe a handsome pianoforte?

Think of us as the Edward to your Elinor.

We’re here for you, always.

*Yes, our marketing team loves a good Jane Austen novel—and playful content that feeds your need for sense and sensibility. Why do you ask?

Attending Manifest? Be sure to wander over to Booth 645 at 4 PM today when BWS president Craig Allan joins Samantha Jones for an episode of Meet Me for Coffee.

They’ll chat about how BWS Logistics emerged from the Covid pandemic on a new path, prepared to navigate disruption and uncertainty successfully.

Don’t miss it!

Sometimes we hunted for insight to serve our customers and carriers better. Other times, we sought escape from the grind—like BWS president Craig Allan, who’s diving deep into historical fiction about the Napoleon wars. Either way, these are the books we just can't put down:

- Sharpe’s Command, by Bernard Cornwell - Craig Allan
- How to Make Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie - CJ Johnson
- Drive, by Daniel Pink - Eric Price
- To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee- Stacey Sosa
- World Within A Song, by Jeff Tweedy - Rob Bussey
- Extreme Ownership: How US Navy Seals Lead & Win, by Jocko Willink and Leaf Babin - Cecelia Hull
- The Power of Storytelling: The Art of Influential Communication, by Ty Bennett - Kelly Grigus

We’re always on the hunt for a great read.

What’s the page-turner you can’t stop thinking about?

02/06/2025

Manifest is just around the corner, and we couldn't be more excited to explore the innovative ways we can serve our customers even better—and, of course, connect with all of you.

Headed to Vegas? We'll be there Monday, February 10 - Wednesday, February 12, and we'd love to say hello. Just reach out to Craig Allan, CJ Johnson, and Cecelia Hull via the Manifest app to connect!
