Get ready to take your carrier business to the next level with the Truckload Carriers Association’s revolutionary new program, Small Carrier University. Designed specifically for small carriers, this 12-month educational program will provide carriers with the tools and knowledge they need to enhance operations, boost maintenance, and improve safety performance.
Led by industry experts like Amanda Pearson, the TCA Profitability Program has already helped over 120 carriers achieve their goals. Now, Small Carrier University is opening its doors to even more carriers, giving you the opportunity to learn from the best and participate in powerful benchmarking groups.
“All too often, leadership is wearing many hats spending time putting out fires. Planning growth initiatives, tracking KPIs, and trending data fall by the wayside,” Pearson explained. “Our goal is to help small carriers by identifying the KPIs that best match their goals, understanding and developing the cadence for tracking, and the processes that lead to improvement.”
TCA’s benchmarking groups cover five different modes- van, reefer, flatbed, bulk, and brokerage. Participants submit financial reports and receive composite reports specific to their group. Additionally, TCA provides access to hundreds of key performance indicators for carriers to benchmark. These groups meet two to three times per year to discuss various topics related to operations, maintenance, and more.
Small Carrier University offers instruction in 29 key business metrics and identifies accounts impacting performance measurement. Learn to identify over- and underperformance indicators and structure strategic recommendations for improvement or sustainment. Upon completion, you’ll be knowledgeable about benchmarking groups and prepared to participate in them.
To complete the program, attend virtual classes covering operations, maintenance, and safety, and complete required assignments. As a bonus, connect with peers and industry experts through monthly market insights and industry hot topic discussions.
