Middle-Mile Logistics Play Evolving Role in U.S. Consumer Supply Chain

Leave a comment


“Middle-mile trucking, however, is emerging as perhaps the primary area of competition—and growth—in the U.S. consumer goods supply chain.”


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (PRWEB)

Following a successful pilot trial period in five Northeastern states, Amazon has rolled out its new freight brokerage operation to all 48 contiguous states—a move that will enable the ecommerce giant both to compete with other large digital brokerages and enhance its edge as a retailer during peak shipping season.(1) “In recent years, industry attention on ecommerce logistics has largely focused on last-mile delivery,” says John Kearney, CEO of Advanced Training Systems. “Middle-mile trucking, however, is emerging as perhaps the primary area of competition—and growth—in the U.S. consumer goods supply chain.”

Kearney, whose company is a leading designer and manufacturer of virtual simulators for driver training, among other applications, notes that where last-mile transport refers to the delivery of goods from a fulfillment center to a customer or a retail store, middle-mile shipping is delivery from a point of origin—a factory, for example, or an airport or seaport—to a fulfillment center. Middle-mile transport is customarily provided by digital freight brokers, who connect shippers (individual companies or shipping carriers) with truck drivers—typically using programmed algorithms to match a given delivery with the location, schedule, and capabilities of a given trucker.(2)

While Amazon owns or leases thousands of truck trailers, it has traditionally relied on contractors or brokers to provide the tractors, the power units that house the driver and pull the load. In October of 2019, however, the company announced that it was purchasing heavy-duty tractors from Volvo (as well as possible other suppliers). Amazon’s long-term objective is said to be to gain more control over its supply chain, in which it is working aggressively not only on freight brokerage, but on airfreight service and last-mile parcel deliveries. (3)

Meanwhile, Amazon’s core business, retail ecommerce, has seen explosive growth—driven in part by the COVID-19 pandemic—as U.S. daily ecommerce sales grew 49% in early April over the level of a month earlier.(4) To keep up with demand during the novel coronavirus outbreak and beyond, Amazon has announced plans to hire 100,000 new employees, including drivers, for its warehouse and delivery operations in the U.S.(5)

“And it’s not just Amazon,” Kearney says. “The combination of COVID-19 and an already existing trend toward ecommerce is creating an urgent—and ongoing—need for capable new workers. As leading providers of a technology that has demonstrated, repeatedly, the ability to produce better, safer drivers, we look forward to our continued collaboration with trucking companies, driving schools, shippers, and other players in this essential, thriving, and rapidly changing industry.”

Advanced Training Systems (ATS) is a technology and engineering firm that has revolutionized the design and manufacture of high-tech simulator systems to improve training for operators of all types of motor-powered vehicles.

Our pivotal moment for continuing to innovate and build this vital organization to its fullest potential is now, and we trust this new leadership team will successfully implement our growth strategy with a keen focus and commitment to excellence for our customers throughout the country.


FERNLEY, Nev. (PRWEB)

Simplex-USA, the foremost manufacturer and supplier of infrastructure products to highway contractors throughout the USA and Canada, has added to its growth with the leadership joint appointments of Ron Meskis as Co-Chief Executive Officer and Charley Read as Chief Operations Officer; it was announced today by Mark Kaler, the organization’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, who will continue to serve in a Co-CEO capacity:

“Considering the dedicated efforts of Meskis and Read, how both have been instrumental in building Simplex into the leading manufacturer and supplier of infrastructure products and solutions nationwide, their new appointments couldn’t be more deserved and complementary to each other’s strengths at this critical time of expansion. Our pivotal moment for continuing to innovate and build this vital organization to its fullest potential is now, and we trust this new leadership team will successfully implement our growth strategy with a keen focus and commitment to excellence for our customers throughout the country.”

The Simplex Board of Directors look to Meskis and Read in their new roles as part of completing the organization’s proliferation and relocation of its West Coast manufacturing operations to Fernley, NV. In addition to his new responsibilities as Co-CEO, Meskis will oversee all Simplex sales initiatives; while Read will be responsible for all company operations across its national footprint.

Meskis brings 30 years’ experience in the construction industry, with the last ten years serving as part of executive leadership teams in highly regarded construction and healthcare organizations. His significant expertise is recognized for successfully implementing strategic business plans through the utilization of Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints, and Value Selling. In only his past two years at Simplex, Meskis helped lead the team to increase the company’s gross profits over 50% growing revenues to over $90M (via acquisition and organic growth), and improving gross margins by 4% through optimizing operations. His collective sales and operational experience, compounded by his ability to embrace change, inspire a solid work ethic as he fosters a positive work culture. An immensurate leadership talent, Meskis has leveraged his role as the resolute leader for taking Simplex to its next level.

Read represents 27 years of leadership experience as a consultant and manager in manufacturing operations and professional services; specifically in construction, agriculture, automotive, and general industrial. His specializations include: Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Operations/Facilities Management, and Project Management. Read was instrumental in leading DFSS 6 Sigma Black Belt projects into development, implementation, and improved key performance metrics for clients – being responsible for most recently leading a $2.5M project to move its manufacturing facility from Ontario, California to Fernley, Nevada. Before assuming the role of COO, Read has served as the General Manager of Dayton Superior’s paving division and has been part of the Simplex leadership team since its acquisition of Dayton Superior’s paving division in June 2019.

Sarah Bazey, founder of Simplex who lead and managed this company for more than 30 years as its CEO, and who most recently navigated Simplex’s purchase of JC Supply & Manufacturing, states: “We proudly recognize the outstanding efforts of Meskis and Read along with their continued dedication to Simplex. These accomplished individuals have the right combination of leadership skills, both in sales and operations, to deliver best-in-class manufacturing and financial performance, as well as to serve as successful ambassadors for our employees and valued customers.”

Paving continued growth and further acquisitions are chiefly in the Simplex ambit as the foremost leader of specialty road products. Now made even stronger through the newly appointed joint leadership of Meskis and Read, the company is steadfast at the vanguard of the industry future, distinctly poised to blaze those trails.

Top Reasons Why Drivers Should Buy Car Insurance Online

Leave a comment


News Image

“Buying car insurance online has multiple benefits. Besides saving time and money, drivers will also avoid dealing with manipulative insurance agents”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Carinsuranceplan.org has launched a new blog post that presents the advantages of purchasing car insurance online.

For more info and free online car insurance quotes, please visit https://carinsuranceplan.org/top-reasons-for-shopping-online-for-car-insurance/

Shopping online for car insurance is a process that more and more people are willing to embrace. And with so many companies and brokerage websites, it would be a pity not to take advantage.

Shopping online for car insurance has the following benefits:


  • Policyholders can save time. All they need is an internet connection and a device like a smartphone, tablet, pc, notebook and they are ready to shop online for car insurance. In the past drivers had to travel from one insurance company to another in order to obtain car insurance offers. It could have taken several days for drivers to obtain some offers to compare. Now, they can sit in the comfort of their homes and they can analyze car insurance quotes in just a few minutes.

  • Drivers can obtain multiple offers in one place. With the help of brokerage websites, drivers can compare quotes from multiple insurers with just one search. They will no longer have to go to different insurance companies’ websites and obtain just one quote from each.

  • Online shopping will help drivers avoid manipulative agents. Insurance agents will try to put pressure on their prospective customers in order to make a sale. Policyholders that shop online, will avoid dealing with pushy agents that try to make a sale.

  • Take advantage of the offered discount. Usually, insurance providers offer small discounts for drivers that obtain online quotes or choose to purchase online coverage.

  • Online quotes are free. Drivers don’t have to pay a middleman in order to obtain online car insurance offers.

  • Drivers are immediately insured. They will receive their digital proof of insurance, immediately after the purchase is finalized. The digital proof of insurance can be either printed on paper or saved on any capable mobile device.

For additional info, money-saving tips and free car insurance quotes, visit https://carinsuranceplan.org/

Carinsuranceplan.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.
