Fall Symposium: Adapting to change

user-gravatar Headshot

Whether it’s a near-term and immediate problem like freight demand and contract terms or long-term challenges such as sustainability and demographic shifts, this year’s CCJ Fall Symposium focused on managing through change. A couple hundred executives gathered last month in Scottsdale, Ariz., for the 2007 CCJ Fall Symposium.

The invitation-only Symposium was sponsored by Communications Development, Cummins Inc., Fleet One, Freightliner Trucks, Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Qualcomm, Roadranger, Shell Lubricants and TravelCenters of America.

The following are recaps of several of the presentations at this year’s CCJ Fall Symposium. In addition, attorney Henry Seaton of the firm Seaton & Husk addressed the scourge of double brokering, and Barry McGrady, vice president of information technology for Floyd & Beasley, presented his company’s performance-based driver pay structure.
