ASSET BASED vs NON-ASSET BASED CARRIERS
It's as simple as black and white.
Do you think you are protecting your company by using ASSET BASED carriers verses NON ASSET based 3rd party logistic providers?
YOU ARE NOT! Actually, you are putting your company at risk.
As we all know, the world's economy has been turned upside down in the last couple of years. The carriers you may call ''asset based'' may be mortgaged to the hilt or have serious financial problems. Many trucking companies are barely holding on and over 800 more have gone out of business in the 3rd quarter of 2009 alone.
So if you do have a problem with your asset based carrier, it make take you years to get your claim money, as many others may be in court for the same money.
As a non asset company, we have no mortgages or financial problems whatsoever, and our credit rating is excellent!
In fact, we have a shield of protection for you.
