CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT 🤩 During our December Game Changers in Freight Tech Event, we recognized ARL Logistics as a 2023 Game Changer of the Year!

What sets them apart is their innovative approach to using technology and interpreting data, enabling them to make better-informed decisions in building relationships, adapting to change, and winning more business.

When we talked to Matthew Newcomb, Director of Carrier Relations, about what opportunities they see in 2024, here's his perspective:

"I think it is to build out your network and have that network actually mean something. Previously we had just an assortment of carriers who have done loads with us in the past. But due to efficiencies and integrations, we were able to really dive deep into that network and flesh it out in a way we couldn't before and get new capacity and get lanes with carriers that we've been running with for ages and new avenues that we didn't know about. I think that's going to be a huge part of the next year. It's just really learning your network and developing that network."

A seamless onboarding experience is the foundation of a successful partnership, which is why our commitment is to work closely with our customers for instant product adoption and results.

"I enjoyed how easy the onboarding experience was, and I've done MANY! The team at Cargo Chief was on top of everything from start to finish. I had minimal involvement in the backend setup (which is not always the case with other providers), and this was a huge relief! It was by far the most organized, streamlined, and seamless process we've had yet. From start to finish, I think the whole implementation was two weeks total, and we instantly started seeing results after the platform went live." - Eric LaFlam, FreightSaver

In freight brokerage, the skill isn't in how many calls you can make or the number of emails you send out. It's in the negotiation and managing of the relationship with carriers.
