Bedrock Logistics LLC’s Post

"In Feb 2023, Sean Riley, the Chief Executive of Dude Wipes, outlined their success and growth going from 17.2 M in sales in 2019 to 102.4 M in sales in 2022. He dedicated their success to all the people that told them they'd never amount to anything. I was one of them, but look at them now! They have a great product which we use at our corporate office. It made me reflect on my own experience. When I left my VP position at my previous company to start ITL with only 10,000 sq. feet of space, I received comments from my previous company that ITL was never going to make it. But here we are, defying the odds and making it happen just like Dude Wipes. Don't let the naysayers hold you back, because anything is possible with hard work and dedication. #ITL #supplychainLogistics #transportation #Internationalfreight #Intermodal #trucking #logistics #warehouse#nevergiveup #success #growth #determination #dudewipes

I am extremely grateful and proud to share I have officially wrapped up my three weeks of training with Bedrock Logistics. Bedrock is a third-party logistics company that handles the full-service transportation needs to ship products across the U.S. In my brief time here I have tried my best to implement the skills and mindset I developed in my past careers to set myself up for future success within this fast-paced industry. The values of Bedrock consist of integrity, commitment, and excellence. My biggest takeaway thus far is that working hard and doing the little things, by showing up on time and ready to work will pay off immensely. Bedrock has been an amazing culture to be a part of and I have met numerous coworkers who have found great success in this industry and are always willing to help out and answer any questions I may have.  I will wrap up my post with a quote from a true competitor and someone who has been a huge role model in my life. “Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations”-Tom Brady. The challenges and obstacles I will face within this career I hope will help pave the way to becoming both a harder worker and a better person overall. #WorkHard #Logistics #Mindset #Persistance #Thankful

Just wanted to share a little behind-the-scenes from my world.  So, my hubby, Tim Vickers, is rocking it in sales over at Flock Freight, and you know the drill - teamwork makes the dream work, right? The other day, I found myself in an industrial park. OF COURSE,  I had to send him leads while I was driving around. I pretty much do this any time I see a company I think he might be able to close. I do this with products I purchase, companies I pass, and industries that make sense. He’s lucky because I came from logistics, too, so I know what companies he should be calling on. And I know what industries that work well with their niche. Now, I'm curious: how many of you spouses out there do the same? Is this a common thing, or are we just a dynamic duo?

Sometimes, all it takes is showing up. Opportunity knocks when you least expect it. I stumbled upon a deal just by walking into a public works garage and assisting the superintendent with a new truck. I offered my expertise and guided him through the process, ensuring the truck was equipped for efficient snow removal operations. My proactive approach not only solved his immediate challenge but also opened the door to a long-term partnership. In sales, sometimes the simplest actions can lead to the biggest wins. #snowremoval #worktruck #upfit #sales

Over and over, our independent agents at Tallgrass Freight tell me they have only one regret. And it's simple, but profound. They regret not making the move to Tallgrass sooner. They regret not betting on themselves earlier. They regret the time they wasted in dead-end jobs, stuck in low-paying positions, hustling and hustling but only spinning their wheels. As we wrap up 2023 and look towards 2024, there's no better time to reflect. What do you want your career (and your life!) to look like next year? If it's time to take charge and take control of your future, Tallgrass is the place to do it. Ready to make 2024 your best year yet? Let's talk!

Key Insights from Yesterday's Post: You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. By switching his tone to a more amenable one, my manager Carrot, successfully negotiated me back in the office, and I won my one day out of the office that week. Help your clients help you. Carrot cleverly appealed to my kind nature and desire to help. By speaking to my value of wanting to help others, we both won. In a slightly lopsided manner but I still considered it a win. Know your value and your power. If I had been a poor salesperson, I would have had a lot less leverage and Carrot could easily have released me because my leaving would have had no impact on his own managerial residual bonuses. Given I was his top salesperson, my leaving would have undoubtedly lowered his income. He once told me "Oh Rina, if I had 10 Rinas working for me, I would be a very, very rich man!" I leveraged that knowledge to help me get what I needed from him. When appropriate, use your power and your leverage to negotiate the best possible outcome for yourself.

Often we are asked, "what makes Schaeffer Oil different". And often the response is generic like "better performance, better service, etc." you know...the same thing everyone else says. Where major oil brands focus on selling a standard quality fuel and lube to everyone, Schaeffer focuses on the needs of the maintenance profession who manages heavy equipment to run a business. This guiding principle coupled with a sale rep to consult with allows Schaeffer to provide a product and service that has a major impact on reducing overall operating cost. See below if you could see yourself providing that type of value to your local community.
