Cris Novich, Managing Director of Full Tilt Transportation, recently participated in a three-person expert panel discussing supply chain issues effecting the global, national, and local economies. The event was sponsored by the Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) organization and brought together experts to discuss supply chain issues.
The worldwide supply chain has been severely disrupted due to several factors including supply chain shortcomings, increased fuel costs, winter weather and COVID. The phenomena has been called The Everything Shortage and has resulted in product scarcity and increased prices. It’s also spurned innovation in utilizing alternate sources and a movement from offshoring to onshoring.
The panelists discussed the current state of the supply chain and what they predict for the immediate and long-term future of the shipping and delivery market. Audience participation included many questions and comments. Full Tilt Logistics and Transportation continues to be an innovative and forward thinking industry leader that customers look to for solutions.

People often use logistics and distribution synonymously, but these two terms actually have considerable differences in the supply chain industry. While the two are both necessary for moving goods or products, they both provide different functions in the supply chain management process. For instance, logistics focuses on creating a strategic plan for moving goods, while distribution executes the transportation of such goods using thoughtful strategies. So, what is logistics and distribution? Take a look below to learn more!
Logistics refers to the planning, design, coordination, and management needed to begin the process of moving goods or products. A distinguishing characteristic of logistics is that it starts from the very beginning of the manufacturing stage of goods, and continues through the delivery of those goods and products to their intended retailers and consumers.
Also, 3PL logistics company requires a significant amount of information to flow through all of its connected servers in order to successfully execute its goal. To illustrate, logistics requires the development of an automated inventory system that allows retailers to sync their 3PL logistics company’s computer systems with their distribution centers. Integrating these two systems will put more automated and expedited processes in place for handling ordering, fulfillment, and transportation of goods or products.
To simplify, logistics is a strategic plan that starts at the beginning and sees it’s way completely through to the end. It’s end goal is to ensure that goods are stored and moved in the most efficient manner possible. Ideally, effective logistics techniques will move products safely and efficiently, in as little time as possible, at the lowest cost possible. This planning process will help improve warehousing and transportation functions so you can meet the needs of your retailer or consumer.
Distribution is one of the key elements used in the supply chain industry. It refers to the process in which a business makes products and plans how they’ll move the products so that they’re available to retailers or consumers. While the distribution process mostly consists of the physical transportation of goods through a specific distribution channel, it also includes the overall strategic plan for executing this action. For example, distribution considers:
Many people see distribution as the simple transportation of goods, but that’s not totally accurate. Distribution is able to provide transportation for goods by focusing on creating a strategic plan that finds the best methods for distributing products efficiently.
While logistics and distribution require strategic planning in order to create effective solutions, there are some differences between these two concepts. For instance, logistics reviews the manufacturing process as a whole. It takes an overall view of the entire process to help improve distribution channels and warehouse management. This ensures the smooth flow of the supply chain and aims to focus primarily on creating effective solutions to accomplish this. On the other hand, distribution serves as a subcategory of logistics that focuses on getting goods delivered as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.

The answer is...it depends. It depends on the company and it depends on the Third-party logistics (3PL) provider. 3PL in logistics and supply chain management is an organization’s use of a third-party business to outsource elements of its distribution, warehousing and fulfillment services.
3PL providers specialize in integrated transportation and warehousing services that can be scaled and customized to customer’s needs, based on market conditions, to meet the demands and delivery service requirements for their products. The US 3PL market is growing rapidly and now is in the hundreds of billions of dollars annually.

Do your homework and ace the test! This doesn't only work well in school, it also applies to business. At Full Tilt Logistics, we do our homework and the results are solid grades from our growing customer base. In the fast-paced logistics and transportation industry, everyone is in a hurry and we get that. As a leader in delivering high value shipments, we have found that spending some time on the front end (homework) leads to better results for our customers (acing the test).
Let’s talk about one segment of our business and describe how we do our homework. We routinely transport time-sensitive, high value shipments like equipment for trade show exhibits and live entertainment events. Because these events are on a tight schedule, they require strict timelines. Generally, we are only given a small window to deliver to the show, pick up from the show, and get to the next event. If mistakes are made or deadlines are missed, it gets expensive. Often union labor is waiting for the freight and if there is a delay, it’s costly. We follow the following procedures to ensure on-time delivery.
For all carriers, we check the carrier’s DOT information through Safer Watch and FMCSA (Federal Carrier Safety Administration). We are looking for excellent safety scores, current insurance, proper operating authority, and TIA Watchdog notifications for any infractions against their company. Any issues, at all, and they are not approved by Full Tilt.
We verify the driver provided by the carrier is the correct driver and has the exact instructions regarding the load. Daily updates from the drivers are required, however, often our dispatch department is in contact with every driver several times a day to accurately determine the status of the load and ensure compliance with the delivery or pick-up schedule.
We thoroughly describe and communicate to the carrier the specific equipment that is required for each shipment. Not only trailer type, but accessories like blanket wraps, straps, load bars, and decking to name a few. We include the equipment list on the rate confirmation to the driver and get verbal agreement over a recorded line to eliminate any misunderstanding. Also, an email confirmation is sent to restate the required equipment again. Full Tilt implements this process to avoid any last minute surprises.
Full Tilt utilizes an ELD (Electronic Logging Device) driver tracking system to make sure drivers have the available hours for on-time pickup and delivery. Driving time is federally regulated and all drivers must follow the law. If drivers are short on time for any time-sensitive high value shipments, they are not approved for the load.
Shipment-specific details are provided to every driver regarding each shipment. Destination contact information, location nuances, and defined pickup and delivery time windows are among the many instructions provided. They are detailed on the rate and load confirmation that the carrier must agree to and sign off on. Failure to meet agreed-upon instructions will result in dollar reductions for the carrier. This is an effective incentive for carriers to do their best to pick up and deliver on time. Any delays may result in catastrophic failures for our customers which is unacceptable. Imagine a major trade show exhibit waiting for material to set up the show.
In addition to these procedures to ensure a great customer experience with no problems, we also have fail-safe procedures in place to recover loads in the case of an emergency. Dedicated Full Tilt equipment, as well as an extensive carrier network, allows us to recover a load at any time.
Full Tilt Logistics is totally transparent to our customers, we communicate regularly with a goal to exceed customer expectations every time. Our philosophy…. do your homework and ace the test. Contact us today!

We make sure high value shipments are properly prepared for transit. This means utilizing corner boards, strapping, blanket wraps, banding and shrink-wrapping to protect products during transit. Using the right equipment, proper training and precise route planning are all critical.
We also take other measures to boost security. These often include expedited service, team drivers, covert and overt GPS, split shipments and careful timing. We provide strategic overlap to ensure security for your freight, keeping it moving from pickup to delivery. Monitoring equipment when the truck stops to refuel, constantly tracking your freight along our carefully pre-planned routes, driver check calls, electronic tracking and more.
With Full Tilt’s heightened supply chain visibility, our customer service team ensures that your high-value freight arrives where and when it should be. Using expedited services and direct routes minimizes touch points and dwell time – two vulnerable areas. When capacity is tight, shippers scramble to move cargo, forcing them to deal with carriers they’re less familiar with. This makes it easier for things to go wrong.
Our drivers receive refresher training to keep them sharp and aware. Our customers also get an individually assigned customer service team to make sure everything goes according to plan. At Full Tilt, we provide every load with the tightest security available. Full Tilt is also always in compliance with every government regulation and their accompanying high safety standards.
We also specialize in transporting time-sensitive freight. As one of the largest trade show and exhibit freight service providers in the country, we understand the importance of on-time delivery. If your high-value electronic equipment doesn’t make it to the show on time, then you have problems. We aim to avoid this scenario.
