Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday this Easter and Passover. Our thoughts and prayers are with those suffering loss, struggling financially, or otherwise as a result of COVID-19. And we are so very grateful to our employees and clients who have been terrific during this time. To that end, it is with great humility that we ‘pay it forward’ with a donation to Americares and ALAN:

Americares is a health focused relief organization responding to people affected by poverty or disaster with medicine, medical supplies and health programs during this pandemic. Their Emergency Programs help communities prepare for, respond to and recover from disease and other disasters, providing millions with access to medicine, supplies and healthcare.

American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) brings the logistics industry together with disaster relief organizations to help solve supply chain challenges so help can arrive sooner. ALAN also consults with humanitarian organizations to help make every logistics dollar count. Studies show that up to 80 percent of crisis spending goes to logistics. Of that, as much as 40 percent may be wasted if these organizations do not have the right supply chain equipment or experience.

As relates to your insurance-related needs, visit roanoketrade.com where we have created a special COVID-19 banner that links to information, a special phone and email (hotline) for claims questions, and mobile numbers of our management team. And oh by the way, if you are a client or employee of Roanoke reading this… Thank You!!

Unlocking Success: The Key Elements of Carrier Vetting and Managing Liability

By: Andrew Johnson, Account Executive, Roanoke Insurance Group Inc. The freight brokerage industry as we know it today began in the late 1970s and early 1980s, around the time of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. Before the passage of this landmark legislation, regulations were too restrictive to make freight brokerage a viable business segment. Fast-forward to today, and most motor carriers, by authority definition, also have a freight brokerage operation.
