About the book
What it's about
In brief: A practical guide to getting your logistics services found and trusted through search, AI-assisted discovery, useful content, and real relationships. Ten chapters, each with a scenario, an exercise with a suggested answer and key takeaways, plus six worksheets and a 30-day plan. Review edition: generated photographic cover and ten chapter-image briefs; chapter photographs are not included.
Your next shipper or carrier may hear about you through a referral, search for your services, or ask an AI tool for help. This practical Freight University short book shows you how to give them accurate information and a clear reason to contact you. Ten chapters cover service-based personal branding, choosing a niche, calm professional presentation, building a useful website, search and AI visibility, shipper conversations, carrier relationships, reputation, and measured investment in yourself. Each chapter includes a scenario, an exercise with a suggested answer, key takeaways, and related reading. Six worksheets and a 30-day plan help you put the teaching to work. Search still matters; AI recommendations are another discovery route, not a guarantee of vetting, rankings, or business. This 37-page review edition includes a generated photographic cover and ten chapter-image briefs; completed chapter photographs are not included.
Search still matters. An AI mention is not proof that a provider has been vetted, and the book makes no promise of rankings, recommendations or revenue. Scenarios are fictional teaching examples, and dollar figures in the exercises are hypothetical planning assumptions. Statistics from early research that could not be verified are listed as excluded in the sources section and are not taught as fact.
