Efficiency in Trucking, from Classroom to Office
In today's business environment two common words in any industry are efficiency and sustainability. Both of these business aspects go hand-in-hand because they both focus on eliminating waste and optimizing performance. In the trucking industry, from what I have noticed efficiency can range from anything such as a driver delivering a load on time to the broker being able to set up an appointment that fits the delivery schedule.

As a business student, one of the key points that is emphasized in classroom lectures is corporate sustainability. This concept relates to how a company takes into consideration its social, cultural and environmental impact. From my experience at the Allen Lund Company I have noticed a focus on sustainability socially through the goal of our 40 Acts of Kindness and through creating meaningful relationships with both carriers and customers, which results in better efficiency and communication between brokers and other parties. As an intern, I noticed this right away when communicating with carriers and experiencing first hand Allen Lund Company's good reputation. These good relations facilitate efficiency by building relationships allowing for better communication between the broker and carrier.

One of the most important aspects of an internship experience is being able to make connections between my work experience and educational experience, leading to the most effective learning outcome. As a student at a Jesuit University, one of the points emphasized in the classroom is how business decisions not only affect our company, but the world around us. My experience at the Allen Lund Company has helped me make this connection from my education to the workplace through building relationships with companies that we do business with and relating to concepts that I have learned in the classroom such as sustainability and efficiency.
