Advanced Business, Networking and Industry Education Opportunities
When you become a member of SMC³, you get regular access to advanced business, networking and industry education opportunities. We know that your company’s success relies on your personal success, and that personal success comes from staying abreast of the industry information and changes that affect your business decisions. What’s more, interpersonal connectivity is crucial in forging strong business networks throughout the supply chain.
Join SMC³ as a member today and take advantage of these enhanced benefits:
- CzarLite Licensing*: As a member of SMC³, your company has the opportunity to license and utilize CzarLite base rates for conducting “apples-to-apples” carrier rate comparisons or to quote from these industry-standard rates to a shipper-customer. CzarLite pricing products are licensed to hundreds of carriers, including all 50 of the largest national, multi-regional and regional LTL carriers. Additionally, more than 2,000 shippers have used CzarLite as the negotiation base for their LTL contracts.
- Industry Education and Peer Networking**: Our members enjoy special pricing for SMC³ seminars and annual conferences. SMC³’s two annual conferences feature the most up-to-date industry information and trend forecasts for better business decisions, not to mention significant networking opportunities with other industry leaders. Topical seminars are also offered throughout the year, featuring expert speakers discussing actionable strategies for enhancing business processes throughout the supply chain.
- The Latest Industry News from Journal of Commerce Magazine: SMC³ has an exclusive agreement with Journal of Commerce magazine that provides our Membership with a free weekly subscription to the publication's digital edition. The digital edition includes all of the print edition content, plus the ability to page through articles online, “click and go” to items in the table of contents, browse archived issues online anytime, search on topics across all digitally archived issues, and more.
- Dedicated SMC³ Product and Industry Training: Is there a particular LTL industry concept that is stumping you or your employees? What about an SMC³ product that you’d like more focused training on? SMC³ representatives will provide one-on-one or one-to-many product training (based on a needs analysis), so you get the most from your SMC³ technology tool(s). We are also available by request to present an SMC³ seminar to your in-house staff.
SMC³ provides many additional benefits that are tailored specifically to our carrier and/or associate members. Contact us today to learn more.
