APRIL
In This Issue
Good morning!

We thank everyone who participated in last month’s contest to win Florida Panthers playoff tickets. One lucky winner went to game 5 which ended up being a nail-biting, double-overtime game. Unfortunately, they went on to lose that game, as well game 6, so that is the end of their season. Todd has already renewed his seats for next year and he is confident they will be at it again.

A Bill of Lading

Did you know that the bill of lading (BOL) you print for your freight or sign at delivery is a legal contract?  A BOL states in good confidence that what is listed is accurate, and that both you and the driver who is representing his company, agree on what was handed off.  We can’t stress enough how important it is to educate your customers on the importance of the driver’s signature on both ends of the shipment.

 

At times, we come across claims that a customer has signed for their freight without fully inspecting it.  We covered this in January’s Newsletter under Concealed Damage and What You’re Entitled To.  While it is about protecting yourself from damaged goods, it is important to remember that this is a legal contract.  No one would sign a legal document without thoroughly reading it.  We should treat a BOL with the same level of respect and ensure that all fields on the document are correct.

About the Team
There have been several new additions to the Millennium Team. We have hired a couple of new sales reps to help grow the business.  This has been something Todd has been working toward for years and is finally ready to implement.  We are very happy to welcome them and are looking forward to seeing them grow with us.

 
Thompson is one of those new additions.  He has over 15 years of sales experience and has been independently doing sales for the last couple of years. Todd and Thompson met at a sales group recently and knew it was a good fit.  If you see Thompson, be sure to welcome him! 

Contest

Coffee and Donuts

This month’s contest is for your whole office. In previous contests, we have supplied a lunch pizza party, but this time around it will be breakfast.  If you respond to this email within the next 48 hours, you will automatically be entered. Todd will bring coffee and donuts to the winner’s office.  A day and time will be decided that works best for you.  Best of luck to everyone!

We thank you for your time and, as always, appreciate any feedback you may have. What would you like to read about?

Sincerely,

Millennium Shipping Team
