We don’t believe in “Key Accounts.”

Many sales organizations (and logistics brokerages are nothing if not sales organizations) group their customers into tiers. Big companies are Tier One customers, and they get all the attention and the good pens…

A breakdown Doesn’t Mean the Freight Stops

My dad was a truck driver, but before that, he was a truck mechanic. My mother told us countless stories of him being called out in the middle of the night to drive to where a truck had broken down on the side of the highway to try to repair it. It was dangerous and …

You are Not Just a Customer, You Are a Partner

At Legion, we love to build relationships. We’ve never been a brokerage focused on transactional freight – we want to get to know our customers, and to help them grow and develop.

Appreciate the Person

This past week, I was reminded of an important fact. My employees are people, too. I like to think that I do a pretty good job of being aware that my folks have lives outside of Legion. I know most of their kids’ names (some of them aren’t real chatty or open, so it’s a …
