Is there a greater need for supply chain research today than in the past, and if so, why? That was my opening question to Steve Raetz, Director of Research and Market Intelligence at C.H.

Asking, “What’s the point of conducting regular procurement events?” And the same goes for procurement events.

Publicize your freight’s attributes during your next procurement event. Service providers still need to know exactly what they’re bidding on during your procurement event. A few years ago, we conducted some research with Iowa State University. Leverage what’s great about your freight and your business.

Robinson has sponsored a host of research projects on truckload practices, from procurement through operations. But they increase significantly near the end of a quarter in some regions.
