Finding new ways to meet client needs

     Premier Cargo Alliance (PCA)

The recent meeting of the Premier Cargo Alliance (PCA) in Barcelona, Spain could be the starting point for some new client services, says the Universal Logistics representative at the meeting, Chris Barnard, Vice President – Projects & Market Development.

“This was an invaluable opportunity to learn from other industry insiders working around the world,” said Mr. Barnard.  “I picked up some great ideas on how to enhance our services for a variety of clients, ranging from smaller businesses in niche industries to major companies with a global presence.”

PCA is a worldwide network of 83 logistics partners.  Universal Logistics is a member for both Canada and the USA.

Quick Tip #14
Don’t just insure the value of the goods

When insuring your freight, you are fully entitled to value your goods at a price above the base cost. Valuation of goods may include all freight charges, related costs, plus 10% (or more) to cover the administrative burden of processing a claim and to cover the insured’s profit. Since duty is still payable on damaged goods, make sure you insure the amount of duty as well.
