Episode 347: Our guest this week is Colby Varley, Vice President of Sales at Advanced Transportation Services, who shares his expertise on the importance of premium services in the refrigerated transportation sector. He helps us understand why investing in high-quality service leads to better reliability and efficiency, and how this approach helps avert the hidden costs associated with cheaper, less reliable options.

We also discuss the importance of having commercial covenants – promises that you give to your customers that go beyond merely the barriers to entry in the heavy-duty parts business. Lastly, in our That’s Not Heavy Duty segment, we discuss 6 dreaded words that a good parts person should never say to a customer.
