Transportation Insight Hosts Fuel Solutions Press Conference
HICKORY, NC, July 7, 2008 - Transportation Insight, a freight cost management and logistics consulting firm, hosted a press conference led by Congressional Representative Patrick McHenry to discuss the impact of rising gas prices on freight costs, small businesses, and households.
Congressman McHenry stated that because global demand for oil will continue to increase, Congress "must take action now to lower prices and move us toward energy independence" by working toward specific solutions.
Paul Thompson, co-founder and CEO of Transportation Insight, followed Congressman McHenry at the podium to reinforce the expediency of finding a solution to rising fuel costs. "Oil prices are everybody’s problem," he said. Transportation Insight recognizes the impact of rising fuel costs and provides numerous resources to maximize client profitability.
To illustrate the impact fuel prices have on the shipping industry and everyday goods delivered, Mr. Thompson presented the simple example of the paper cup. By the time a paper cup arrives in a cupboard, it has traveled on at least six trucks and across 1500 miles. Transportation Insight helps to mitigate the cost of moving products – such as paper cups – across the miles by analyzing and optimizing transportation networks.
Transportation Insight improves client profitability across the North American marketplace by lowering freight cost, creating new revenue, automating business processes, providing enterprise-wide business intelligence, and enhancing customer service.
