BAT Adopts Families
OMAHA, Neb. - BAT Logistics, provider of 3rd Party Logistics and Transportation solutions, is giving back to the community through the Salvation Army. We have increased our giving every year and one of the ways we give back is to adopt families that would otherwise not have a Christmas with presents.
This year, BAT has adopted 11 families ranging from two to seven family members. We provide gifts from a wish list for the children and we also provide a gift card to a local grocery store to buy their Christmas dinner for the whole family.
It is just a small token to share the blessings we at BAT have received throughout the year. This is BAT's third year adopting families during the Christmas holiday, and double the amount of families it has adopted from last year.

Shippers Have More Protection With Freight Brokers & 3PL Providers
OMAHA, Neb.-- July 2, 2011 - Shippers should be aware of the Anti-Indemnity Laws that may have already been passed in their own state.
Shippers require their transportation providers to hold them harmless from any and all losses regardless of who's at fault. The passing of the Anti-indemnity Law means indemnity agreements in motor carrier contracts are against state public policy and, therefore, void. That puts the balance of liability back to shippers doing business with motor carriers directly.
However, the Anti-Indemnity Law does not pertain to shippers contracting with 3pls/freight brokers. This could mean more business for 3pls/freight brokers, but at how much risk to themselves?

BAT Logistics Market Watch
May 27, 2010
Welcome To BAT's Market Watch!
BAT's Action Plan This Peak Season
Over the past weeks truck market rates have been increasing in several areas.
BAT Logistics assures it customers that we will continue to doing our absolute best to look out for our customers transportation budget, and trucking needs throughout a time the demand for truck load capacity towers the amount of trucks available in over a decade.
In order to keep your freight moving we have been utilizing
our spot quotes from our driver base that has been agreeing to dedicate its
equipment/trucks to serving BAT's customer. We feel this strategy is the best
plan of action in order for BAT to secure a greater amount of truck capacity for our
customers. This strategy will ensure BAT can provide trucking options with the
most reliable results.
*On a good note- We do not anticipate this to last any longer that the first week of July and by that time, BAT will be reducing its rates substantially and the strategy will be to offering the absolute best rates to our customers money. We believe even more than ever, because of our
base growing more rapidly than ever.
Why Have Truck Rates Have Increased
There are several reasons to why truck load rates have soared to highest levels in over a decade. We decided to list just a few of the many reasons this peak season has been more costly shipping freight then previous peak seasons. This information is according to American Trucking Association, Department of Transportation, and the ISM.
-2008 more than 3000 trucking companies went out of business. That's 3.5 less trucks on the road for every 50.
-2009 4th Quarter over 500 trucking companies went out of business.
-2009 Kenosha's JHT Holdings Inc., the country's largest factory-to-dealer hauler of newly built semitrailer trucks, reorganized in a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding last year.
-2009 Tonnage was down more than 15%. As a result less trucks than ever on the roads. With that said, freight has started to increase, thus causing a shortage of trucks vs. available freight.
-2010 Jan thru April marks 4 consecutive months freight has been on the rise.
-2010 A majority of trucks started 2010 losing money over the rapid fuel increasing and were unable to charge current fuel surcharge in enough time.
