The Most Important Things to Consider Before Buying a Used Car
“If you’re thinking about financing, start by determining how much money you want to put down, along with current interest rates, and loan length. Doing this homework upfront will give you a clear picture of the vehicles that will fit your budget.” Mark Scholl
JRS Freight Auto Transport Interview at Used Car Week 23
“Everyone in our space is concentrating on technology and digitizing the transportation process. The next phase for M.A.P. is the implementation of a roll-up dashboard for managing transportation expenses at the group level, providing insights into the average rate per mile and hauling distance at each individual store. This detailed information gives management an opportunity to identify areas for improvement and optimize transportation costs.” Mike Trudeau
“The expectation, whether that’s for B2B or B2C customers, is digitalization. They want quick answers and quality customer service, via the phone, live chat or text messaging. By working with our technology partner, JRS Freight is staying at the forefront of these technologies to meet customer expectations.” Mark Scholl
‘Remember to shop around’…
“Used car prices seem to be decreasing at the wholesale level, but not necessarily translating into savings for consumers due to high interest rates and other costs associated with purchasing a vehicle.” Mike Trudeau
Why are used-car prices going up?
Because of economic turmoil and the possibility of a recession, “people are conscious of their budget, and a used-car payment may be less than a new car payment.” Mike Trudeau
Strategic mergers and partnerships
Pursuing new opportunities is not a mere business expansion tactic; but a commitment to our customers and stakeholders. By merging with companies like Auction Direct Transport (ADT) and partnering with firms such as Auction Edge, we have been able to enrich our offerings and provide enhanced value to our customers. These strategic moves have also helped us build a stronger, more resilient organization that is better prepared to navigate the dynamic auto transport industry.
A driving force in our success
A significant part of JRS Freight success is our superior carrier network, an asset that continues to enhance our standing in the industry. Our carrier network spans the entire United States, enabling JRS Freight to offer consistent capacity, regardless of location.
We understand the importance of trust in our line of business. That’s why every carrier in our network must pass a rigorous 20-point identity and credential verification process. This vetting process, which includes checks on insurance, operating authority, safety records and company reputation, ensures that we work only with carriers that meet our high standards of quality and reliability. In addition, JRS Freight motor carrier compliance team monitors carriers and reviews insurance, DOT status, operating authority, CSA alerts and safety rating scores every 60 days.
By maintaining consistently high standards of quality, safety and reliability, JRS Freight has become a trusted auto logistics partner.
Our commitment to the community
With a strong commitment to service and a passion for making a difference, JRS Freight donates to a variety of community organizations. We support Ignite and their mission of helping homeless youth find stable housing and Move For Hunger, a national nonprofit that mobilizes transportation networks to deliver food to communities in need. You’ll find JRS Freight employees volunteering at events, packing meals for food banks and donating school supplies, food or clothing as needed. In addition, JRS Freight proudly sponsors the Levski soccer team, which finished the 2023 season as Midwest Champions.
Employees are encouraged to participate in community service activities and are given opportunities to contribute to causes they care about. This culture of service fosters a sense of unity and purpose within the team, further strengthening JRS Freight resolve to make a difference.
