| Dan Goodwill and Vic Springer, Supply Chain Manager, SP Newsprint will co-chair a track on Achieving Success with Freight Bids. |
Freight transportation costs are projected to escalate in the years to come as a result of tightening capacity brought on by the economic decline. Fuel costs are also expected to increase again. Many companies are searching for ways to better manage and control these costs. One such method is to conduct a freight bid. The panellists will discuss a freight bid that was recently conducted for one of the largest producers of newsprint in North America. They will speak candidly about how to conduct a multi round bid, the challenges they faced, the results they achieved and the implementation process. They will also address the issue of managing the fuel surcharges imposed by transportation companies.
