BID / SCHEDULE A good Transportation Manager can steer away conflict in the work place by making good decisions. Problem: Recently a college of mine was complaining that a New Employee(driver), less than 1 year with the company that they both work for received a New bid/route with a #schedule that he and other #drivers who have been with the company longer, would have wanted. Solution: As #Transportation #manager I feel that the correct course of action would be to first assemble the #supervisors and instruct them to #organize a mini bid. Mini bids can be used for situations like this when the regular bid intervals have NOT expired. Make the necessary changes to the correct the curent bid schedule then #Assemble all the the drivers in order of #seniority and and allow each driver to bid in order of seniority for the perspective bid / route schedules that are still available. This keeps it fair. Now each driver has the option to select their bids based on the available bids. Once all bids have been selected then there would be no chance of an employee feeling that selection was done unfairly. Therefore the argument of #favoritism cannot be made. This kind of process is commonly used in the #FoodService industry but can be adapted through the entire transportation industry. There is just some things you learn from #experience. Here’s an example one just one of many. The reason why a transportation manager may get this wrong is simple. Yes having a masters degree qualifies you for the position, however the lack of expertise and experience in the transportation industry will cause you to overlook this during the decision making process. Drivers across the the industry respect Seniority, its the universal code between drivers. I feel that my years of experience have given me the ability to recognize this quickly. Having worked for some large sized companies it’s important as a Transportation Manager to steer clear of conflict. This protects management as well as removes internal conflict between employees.

We put energy⚡ behind everything we do! Meet new hire Eddie Northcraft, our International Logistics Coordinator at our Repairs Division with his thoughts on MD&A: Q: Why did you choose to work for MD&A? A: I was working for another company doing international logistics and I did a lot of research on MD&A and found out what they did and it was definitely something I was interested in. I’ve been doing logistics for about 15 years now so it piqued my interest. It’s been about four months now and everything‘s out working out great. Q: How would you describe our company culture? A: Everybody’s friendly here! It’s a big corporation but they don’t feel like it. If you have issues and you gotta take a day off here or there - they’re very open and they’re very lenient on giving you what you need. Also if you have any other issues in your personal life - there’s programs that can help you. It’s just an all-around great atmosphere to be in! Q: What has been your favorite project at MD&A so far? A: My favorite project so far today has been a big international project and we’ve had to send trucks by barge over to an island. We’ve done probably around 15 to 20 air freight shipments to it. It’s just been one of those projects that’s a lot of moving pieces and a lot of manpower involved. It’s very challenging but it’s also very rewarding! Explore A Career with a Powerful Purpose! At MD&A, We truly work together, as one team! We collaborate, we listen, we innovate. Interested in joining our team?

Being in the logistics industry, I've learned that there are a lot of people who are just going through the motions of trying to close quickly and not building relationships with people. As a customer, how many times have you called a company and tried navigating through their automated prompts? What's important for your business? Personalized customer service means having direct communication with the people you’re working with and being able to have someone there to take action in the requests that you're making. Your time is valuable and that is something we acknowledge and respect at Port Side Logistics.
