SWITCHING ON ENERGY SOLUTIONS:
DEVELOPING YOUR ENERGY PROCUREMENT STRATEGY
By Al Rickard
Cold Chain companies have been buffeted during the past year with wild swings in energy prices and seasonal swings are bound to be felt this year as well.
What’s the best strategy to deal with this?
The most important step is to have a strategy, which many organizations don’t.
“Energy costs are probably the second-highest cost item for most public refrigerated warehouses, yet they are likely paying way too much for their energy,” says Michael Webster, President/CTO of Iceted.com, Inc., which runs an energy management program in partnership with IARW. “PRWs should take advantage of the current energy market to begin a real risk management discipline when it comes to buying energy.”

OVERCOMING TOUGH TIMES
By Benjamin Milk
REEFER OPERATORS USING NEW STRATGIES TO SUCCEED
It was the best times, it was the worst of times,” wrote Charles Dickens in his classic novel A Tale of Two Cities. And so it is with the refrigerated trucking business today. Sure, tonnage is down, some shippers have closed their doors, others are flirting with bankruptcy, and many are dragging their feet on bill payments. The inevitable result is that several hundred trucking companies have gone out of business, but a trio of skilled reefer operators reminds us that the glass is not just half empty, it’s also half full.
Take Willis Shaw Express, for example, a 48pstate truckload carrier based in Arkansas with a fleet of more than 1,000 refrigerated units. Willis Shaw President Chris Kozak notes that declines in the temperature-controlled sector are less than half of what they are on the dry side. At the same time, he says, she is seeing many more bid packages come in, with just about all shippers looking for lower rates and more than a few who are trying to improve on contracts that are still in force. |
