Today we continue our annual series during the first week of July, coinciding with Independence Day on July 4th to highlight the top supply chain, logistics, & freight white papers as featured on the Cerasis blog in 2019.
We take great pride in creating educational freight white papers centered around solving shippers every day problems by offering thoughts, strategies, best practices, and tips that empower shippers to track closer to problem free shipping as possible. Of course, problem free shipping is impossible, but the tips learned in these freight white papers will allow shippers to stay proactive and ready for any issues that may come up in the process of managing freight and all the processes, communications, and strategies that come with effective freight management.
