It's hard not to be a little giddy when a specialty piece of equipment shows up after being in production for an extended period of time. How many others are still dealing with trickling supply chain and production issues? #fleetmanagement #custombuild #specialtypieces #fleetoperations #shopstuff #upfit #roddertruck

Juneteenth On June 19, 1865, Galveston, Texas, held a momentous celebration of freedom. Despite the Civil War's conclusion on April 9, 1865, slavery persisted in various states, with Texas being the final Confederate state to abolish the practice. The 135th US Colored Troops, which included my great-grandfather, played a pivotal role in paving the way for General Sherman's journey to Texas.

☝ Reflecting on Humility and Purpose with Lamar Trailers Inc. I want to share a special moment with the incredible leaders of Lamar Trailers, located in the heart of rural Texas. Here, humility, hard work, and faith are deeply rooted. Despite their significant success—almost reaching the milestone of dispatching a thousand trailers a month—the key leaders of Lamar Trailers remain humble and purpose-driven. Lessons from Lamar Trailers: 🔸 Unwavering Commitment: Their dedication to honoring God, serving humbly, keeping it simple, and treating others with kindness is truly inspiring. 🔸 Staying Grounded: This experience reminded me of the importance of staying grounded and humble, no matter how successful we become. 🔸 Contrast with Metro Areas: It’s a stark contrast to the often frantic and sometimes arrogant atmosphere of larger metro areas. Business Insight: 🔹 Consistency in Branding: Ongoing efforts like those of Lamar Trailers reinforce brand recognition and trust. 🔹 Investing in People: Investing in smart, humble, God-honoring people will yield great results in the long run. To all business owners out there, let’s take a moment to reflect: ▪ Are we honoring God with our actions? ▪ Are we treating others with the dignity and respect they deserve? Success doesn’t need to change who we are at our core. Join me in celebrating this new chapter for Lamar Trailers and let’s strive to live our values out loud every day! #LamarTrailers #BrandStrategy #Humility #BusinessGrowth #RuralBusiness #Inspiration #SanAntonioTX #VibrantCultures

In my opinion, going back to the client for more money doesn’t always mean you should get fired. As long as you handle the situation with a high level of communication and integrity. This week we moved a load out of Miami FL. During the quoting process, I sent the client information on the produce shipping season and a screenshot showing low truck capacity in Miami. Kept the client updated as we searched for capacity… including being honest that we had offers coming in from carriers higher than our quoted rate due to very low capacity this week. After assigning a carrier on the load, called the client and let them know their freight is covered. Told them what we ended up paying. Had a quick conversation around the value of the freight and how much could be allocated to transportation. It turned out, the client was able to come up a little bit and we could split the loss. They key? Either way, the load was covered. The client was updated throughout the process. They knew our driver would pick up either way and we would honor our quote if there was no rate adjustment. Are rating mistakes okay? NO. But if a mistake does happen, communication and integrity will help to steer the situation to the best possible outcome, and keep partnerships strong.
