Fulmer Brothers Solves an Agent's Everyday Back Office Issues:
Fulmer Brothers handles many of the everyday operating issues for its agents, such as Department of Transportation regulation, inter-modal agreements, insurance requirements, Customs bonding, equipment rental and fuel programs. In addition, Fulmer Brothers provides accounting and other process support through its Jigsaw technology platform.
Fulmer Brothers helps Build Profits and Revenue Diversification:
Fulmer Brothers actively works with its agents to increase revenue. We provide our agents access to increased equipment capacity, customers, and higher-margin freight volume. The Fulmer Brothers team organizes, monitors, and controls this information resulting in continuous agent optimization.
Offering Expansion and Sponsorship Opportunities:
Fulmer Brothers supports its agents by equipping specified agency terminals with computers, telephone system and office equipment. By providing a turn-key solution, veteran agents can make a transition from his or her old carrier to Fulmer Brothers with minimal delay.
Provide Access to Qualified Independent Contractors:
A major problem for agents is the high turn-over of independent owner/operators, which generally exceeds 100% annually throughout the industry. Fulmer Brothers is actively recruiting higher caliber owner/operators and making its owner/operators more profitable.
Recruiting Program.
Fulmer Brothers has an intense contractor and driver recruitment program nationwide. This serves as a support arm for local agents. Agents spend less time recruiting and able to focus on increasing sales penetration in the local market.
A Focus on Safety.
Fulmer Brothers's Safety Department is responsible for qualifying all drivers. On an ongoing basis, the Safety Department monitors driver logs and trips for compliance with federal safety regulations. At any time, the safety director can order a driver or a truck to be placed out of service for failure to conform to regulations.
Equity Incentives:
Fulmer Brothers's planned equity incentive program will provide profitable agents with ownership in the company. The transportation industry has thousands of self-employed agents who currently have no equity incentive plan.
