Body bags are a commodity item produced mainly offshore these days. I am still shipping to many companies but new inquiries tend to come from the Middle East (not the wars – the military has massive contracts,) but from general medical supply companies that have been coming online over the last few years; I think I’m getting their business simply because I respond to their requests.
Just received an email my freight brokers who seems to be feeling it. He writes:
Greetings All,
Hope you are having a good week so far. Food for thought:
Is the economy heading towards a recession? As you may already know, this may very well be the case and the inevitable truth….”
He goes on about defining a recession and then, “With this being said, this directly correlates to what I do as your Consultant, Freight Broker, and personal Sales Representative with the business we’re in. I would like to see what I can do to retain as well as earn more business during these trying times. Any input or feedback to what I can do to further and strengthen our relationship would be greatly appreciated. As your Account Manager, you will be provided with the best possible service in the ‘transportation world’ as I am here for the long haul!
Let me know if there is anything I can help out with. I appreciate your time and value your business. Have a great day.
Sincerely,
”I’ve left off his name, but suffice it to say, I never get emails like this.

Seems to be at odds with what I am hearing from a friend. Their international business is surging and they are able to come in at full price on Tenders (RFP) for project due to the currency exchange. I would think the the shipping industry would benefit form this environment. Just a thought.

February 19, 2008 at 1:17 PM #155634ParticipantRay, I think it depends on what sector your friend is in, what international ports they are shipping to, and what type of freight/transport is required.
My international biz is also up.
My local guy, servicing my local freight is down.
What does your friend sell? And to whom?
