TRINCON Group, a  national transportation industry advisory firm, has released a series of  five  educational webinars focused on key survival issues survival within  the trucking industry: New Strategies for Business Development, Driver  Development & Retention, New Approaches to Incentive & Productivity  Based Compensation, Activity Based Costing applied to Trucking  and  Profitability of Increasing Truck Productivity. 

The program will  be monthly staring August 23.  Web site, www.trincon.com.

The program  series is designed to address the most pervasive issues affecting the trucking  industry today—driver recruitment, retention, strategic account development,  and increasing costs.  New approaches are explored in selling accounts  that make your equipment the most productive.  New ideas are explored for  developing a driver career path within an individual company or the  industry.  The series explores what is needed to absorb the increased driver,  fuel, infrastructure and operating costs in the future through increased truck  productivity.  The programs on costing and truck productivity show how the  industry can create additional profits that can be defined, priced and measured  with an activity based costing methodology.  

“We continue to  see companies fighting the same battles of cost containment, recruiting and  retaining a viable workforce,” said TRINCON President Duff H. Swain. “Companies  that wish to be successful in the future must begin selecting the right  customer relationships, viewing drivers and increased truck productivity  differently, and measuring the cost / profit; effect of their pricing.   This provides a basic strategy and answers to absorbing the industry’s ongoing  increases in operating costs.”

The series of  five webinars will be conducted once a month.  The next two programs are  scheduled for August 23  (Strategic New Business Development) and  September 20 (Driver Development and Retention).  Upon completion, the  series will start over again for companies unable to attend due to date  conflicts.  A registration fee of $49 will be charged for each program, or  $150 for the series.
