THE SOURCE?
Welcome to OUTSOURCE's quarterly news publication, THE SOURCE, designed with you, our customer, in mind. With so much information available on the web, "running out of it is not a problem, but drowning in it is." (John Naisbitt). What we do is sift and extract meaningful intelligence from a variety of sources...so you don't have to.
THE SOURCE will put you ahead of the curve by keeping you abreast of what's happening within the transportation industry, as well as informing you about events and circumstances outside the industry that may have an effect on your freight. An awareness of trends and upcoming regulations will help you plan and anticipate how your company can react in the smartest, most advantageous way.
And then there's Trivia. How knowledgeable are you about "stuff"? Put on your thinking cap and have a little fun with our trivia quiz each issue.
