Advanced Training for the Endurance Test
Do you think your logistics operation is fit enough to pass the 2006 Endurance Test? Chances are you'll need some additional training. Consider it a 50-minute trip to the logistics gym - and you don't even have to leave your desk.
Shippers who survived last year's logistics maelstrom are going to need both determination and creativity to keep fright costs under control in 2006. In our Logistics Outlook (LM cover story January 2006), Contributing Editor Elizabeth Baatz has done a superb job of preparing shippers for the grueling challenge ahead. Now, to supplement this annual feature, Logistics Management is building upon Baatz's rate forecasts to produce an exclusive online event that will bring the analysts interviewed in this year's Outlook directly to the shipper community.
By attending the 2006 Logistics Outlook Webcast, shippers will gain deeper insight into what's driving their freight rate increases-but more importantly, learn practical steps for better managing under today's pressing conditions.
