Why a Blog for Small Business Shippers

Thirty years of my life has been dedicated to learning efficient and cost-effective shipping operations. I have personally consulted, on-site, with thousands of shipping managers and their CEO’s on challenges they face and best practices to save money.

I’ve written the only book on shipping systems, Computerized Shipping Systems: Increasing Profit & Productivity Through Technology.

In the past twenty years, I have been an attendee and speaker at industry trade shows such as PARCEL, Mailcom, National Conference on Operations & Fulfillment, Council of Logistics Management, & others.

I am the Chief Logistics Officer for RedRoller, an on-line service that provides shipping options and visibility to users, similar to the way that Travelocity has done for airlines.

In fact, I don’t just like shipping…

I’m passionate about it!

My goal is to pass on the advice that I have given to big business through this blog so that the small business can benefit from what I have learned. The bottom line is that I know about parcel shipping and I am going to blog about what I know.

Why, you might wonder.

My biggest reason is to make a difference. I have been a small businessman for 18 years. I know the struggle and the sacrifice. It isn’t easy and most people fail. One of the most challenging areas for me was learning, many times the hard way, about all the things that you need to know to stay in business.

I want to teach you about shipping, to help you, as a way of paying back.

In this blog, I will offer news articles, tips, thoughts, comments, opinions, and suggestions to help you save on shipping.
