Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) January 14, 2015 - SHIFT Freight board member Jett McCandless will present at the Jump Start 2015 conference hosted by SMC3 on Wednesday, Jan. 21. McCandless will provide insight on how LTL carriers can reduce capital expenditures while utilizing capital savings to drive long-term growth, thus implementing an "asset light" approach. The conference will cover a variety of supply chain topics to give industry professionals an inside look into cost-saving trends and best business practices as well as timely economic and legislative updates.

Recognized as the most innovative and progressive LTL carrier in the industry, SHIFT Freight is moving shipments throughout the country with exceptional service and a superior customer experience driven by technology. For this particular session, SHIFT Freight will discuss the "asset light" approach and why LTL carriers are utilizing the strategy to improve processes and grow business.

McCandless will lead the session "The LTL Appetite for 'Asset Light.'" In the session, conference participants will learn how LTL carriers are identifying strategic alliances with other asset-based carriers, owner operators and brokers to supplement or even replace their own assets in an effort to become "asset light." McCandless will explore the trends and discuss the advantages of LTL carriers moving to an "asset light" approach.

"I am honored to speak at the biannual SMC3 conference, as we are constantly exploring ways to improve the LTL industry," said McCandless. "I'm looking forward to the conversation with participants at this conference because there's a huge potential for carriers to share proprietary knowledge in the areas of operations and technology to advance industry services."
