Welcome to our eleventh issue of the 1st Mile Newsletter! As usual we’ve got new parking spots, helpful tips, and exclusive offers just for you, coming every month.
The first snow of the year in Canada only means one thing: Freight Peak Season as arrived! This November, we wanted to reaffirm that the Finloc Group is here and ready to help freight companies face any transportation challenges they might face.
In this issue of the 1st Mile, we also wanted to showcase the accomplishments of one of our team members, James, who is an active member and Chair of the Independent Business Council on the ELFA.
Remember to subscribe to the 1st Mile to stay up to date!
A few weeks ago, our colleague and Chair of the Independent Business Council on the ELFA , James Currier won the Advocacy Award at this year’s ELFA Convention!
The "ELFA business council advocacy award" is referring to the Advocacy Champions competition, a collaborative award for business councils, which involves ELFA's Business Council Steering Committees and encourages active participation in advocacy initiatives.
James’ council represents Non-bank-owned organizations that provide financing through lines of credit, discounting relationships or other funding vehicles.
Congratulations James and way to help the Finloc Group shine through this endeavor!
At the core of the Finloc Group stands a mission of helping our partners achieve their goals through increased efficiency and smart transportation management tools. This month we would like to highlight the relationship between our group and Santa Barbara Freight (SBF),a well-established asset-based carrier with a rich history of over two decades of specialized and efficient transportation services for refrigerated freight, who uses vHub for quick and efficient resolution for their unbalanced fleet obstacles. Both organizations have been partnering for 2 years now, which has allowed SBF to take full advantage of opportunities and reach their operational goals.
