Mr. Tucker provided an overview of transportation brokers and forwarders, and their value proposition to shippers and carriers; as well as their impact on the environment, by lowering emissions.  Tucker’s remarks started with the regulatory basics; and moved to characteristics of better brokers; myths and facts; and finished with best and emerging practices for the largest shippers to manage complex logistics programs.

Tucker stated, “I’m honored and humbled to be asked to speak again to the GSA and its partner agencies in Washington. What GSA is doing with its new transportation management system, is uniquely harnessing the power of the marketplace, and driving savings and efficiencies. It’s a forward thinking, innovative effort that should be admired by logisticians, and appreciated by taxpayers.”
