So You've Signed Your Annual Ocean Contract, Now What?

05/25/21 • 33 min

Now that annual contract signings have been wrapped up, shippers have a degree of comfort knowing some of their volume is covered.
However, BCOs committed 25% less volume to long-term contracts this year, sending almost twice as much via short-term and spot deals.
In this episode, Don and Bryan give their perspectives on what shippers should be thinking about as they go into the summer months before the peak season starts.
You'll learn about:
1. How shippers can position themselves to take advantage of extra loaders.
2. Why being a shipper of choice will benefit you during peak season.
3. How premium services can help shippers during peak and overflow season.
And much more!
