And yet, in spite of all, the freight world continues to overcome, persevere, and succeed. What we’re experiencing right now is nothing new. There have been issues like these since the dawn of the industry over 100 years ago. These “blips” may seem monumental in the moment, but they’re just the nature of the beast. And so … 👉  Take solace in knowing that some of the world’s best and brightest work in transportation. When the chips are down and anxiety is high, we encourage shippers to reach out to us. We HEAR and SEE so much that we’ll probably have an idea or two to help you solve your must urgent and expensive problems. Remember that song from the Toy Story movies, “You’ve got a friend in me?” Well, this is similar. Let’s be friends. REAL FRIENDS, not just some conventional freight broker relationship, where someone’s commission often outweighs customer delight. At [#mfw](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=mfw&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6977982782824206336), we’ve ALWAYS got your back. Just like in the movies.
