Marleon provides Consulting, Transportation Brokerage, and Transportation Management services focused on helping companies successfully navigate the transportation landscape, as well as, identify and capitalize on cross-border business opportunities.

Oftentimes growing companies and established companies alike are uncertain and confused about what type of transportation company suits them best. Why, because as a company’s business model or product lines change, so do their transportation needs. As a result, Warehouse, Logistics, and Transportation Managers inherit the difficult task of identifying the carriers and services that best match their needs in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

To see how your company stacks up, consider the following questions:

What are the hours of service rules, C-PAT, and new methods of transportation?
What are team drivers? How and when are they best utilized?
What is a hundredweight program from a Parcel Carrier?
What is a rules tariff?
What is the National Motor Freight Classification board? Who is on it?
What are packaging characteristics 1F - 155F and what does this mean to your company?
What happens when products are damaged in transit and your receiving department signs the delivery receipt?
What is a density study?
How do you ship 20 boxes of books weighing 150lbs from Kansas City to Minneapolis / St. Paul if they need to be there before close of business tomorrow?
Does pool distribution make sense for your company? Do you have to pay warehousing costs?
