As hurricane season looms on the horizon, businesses face the annual challenge of protecting their supply chains and operations against potential disruptions. The unpredictability of natural disasters can leave companies vulnerable, leading to delays, inventory shortages, and financial setbacks. To weather the storm and emerge stronger, partnering with a trusted and reliable transportation and logistics provider proves to be a strategic move. Let’s explore four reasons why collaborating with transportation experts can help businesses proactively plan ahead and navigate the hurricane season confidently.

PLAN AHEAD  |  ACCESSIBLE RESOURCES  |  FIRST IN LINE SERVICE  |  PROACTIVE COMMUNICATION

1. Plan ahead: It takes detailed and comprehensive planning to ensure the fastest possible recovery. The time to prepare isn’t when the eye of the storm is on the horizon. A robust transportation company will ensure you have a proven business continuity plan in place. They will work with you to set goals and create strategies to prepare for proactive execution should a hurricane or other disaster occur.

2. Ensure access to resources: A transportation provider with coast-to-coast resources is essential. When there is a need to ramp up deliveries to meet an urgent need, they can quickly increase capacity by relying on a readied fleet, driver pool, and experienced management team.

3. Partner up to be first in line for services:  With a contracted transportation partner in place, you gain a competitive edge. A reliable provider will do everything it can to restore its customers to normal operations as quickly as possible. But without preplanning, it takes time to put a recovery plan in motion. In the scramble to restore your operations, a dedicated service agreement will give you an advantage over the competition. Shippers with a dedicated service agreement are first in line for services such as dedicated drivers, equipment capacity, and predictable pricing.

4. Communicate with confidence: As with any major disruption, communication is key. Storms don’t stop at night. A trusted provider should be accessible at all times during storm events, providing customers with continuous updates.
