Freight brokers use their expertise and relationships to help shippers find available carriers, saving shippers time and money and helping carriers more easily connect to shippers.

The rising costs of fuel, equipment, insurance and more weigh heavily upon the freight transportation industry. In fact, the cost of small claims has grown significantly as the prices for parts and labor, as well as new technology, has risen. Recouping your claims - from filing and acknowledgement to investigation and settlement - can exhaust more time and money than you can afford. Instead of a game of telephone, what if your service provider managed each step of the process from claim to settlement and offered you a single touchpoint for all your questions? Chas Nickells, Vice President of Business Development for Transportation at Davies Group, joins Seth Clevenger to share his decades of experience creating custom claims solutions for industry leaders and teach you how end-to-end claims solutions can transform your operations.
