September 12, 2019 (Dallas, TX) - Today, Transplace, a leading provider of transportation management services and logistics technology, concluded its 2019 Carrier Symposium. The annual event provides education, recognition, and appreciation for the over 32 thousand transportation carriers who provide capacity in support of Transplace's customers.

This year's event focused on the latest topics impacting the transportation industry, including both capacity excesses and shortages, ELDs, regulatory changes, and driver issues. Attendees also heard insights and solutions for navigating today's challenging freight market, including ways to improve shipper-carrier relationships through "preferred shipper" and "preferred carrier" initiatives, and how to leverage technology innovations to improve efficiency and real-time freight visibility.

"We pride ourselves in having some of the strongest carrier relationships in the industry," said Frank McGuigan, CEO, Transplace. "Our Carrier Symposium offers a unique opportunity for our carrier partners to collaborate with Transplace leadership to discuss better services, operational efficiencies, and cost savings for carriers and shippers alike. It is also a chance for us to recognize those carriers that have gone above and beyond the call of duty by providing the highest levels of service, embracing our technology for improved visibility, and establishing quality relationships amongst all stakeholders."
