On this week’s episode of Check Call, host Mary O’Connell and Scott Watanabe, director of training and agent development at Armstrong Transport Group, talk about building an effective training program from the ground up.
The importance of hiring coachable and trainable people can not be overstated. When it comes down to a perfect resume or someone willing to learn and have an open mind, the ideal candidate will be trainable.
Also on the podcast is a quick rundown of the current shipping container situation. There stands to potentially be a shortage. The most important thing is that box production and new container pricing are down, along with leasing durations and rates. Where shipping containers are concerned, it’s all down.
Got any pain points or things you wish were better in the supply chain and the world of transportation? Contact O’Connell to be on a future episode of Check Call.
