A message from our COO


Thanks for your efforts with quality! 

 

We finished October a point and a half better than last year for military business. We are committed to raising rates and the only way we can do this is by maintaining a competitive Best Value Score through quality work and good scores. We struggled a little this summer when volume was high, but we are back doing what we need to do. Everyone of us has a role in making this happen:

 

·         I need to ensure we have rates where drivers and agents make money, and we have enough authorities to keep booking all year.

·         Operations needs to put the best drivers and agents available on every job. We work together to provide feedback to agents and drivers who are not meeting standards.  If you are not sure of your quality scores, go to the  Service Quality Evaluation Scores website or contact Steve Filonow.

·         Customer Care needs to ensure information is passed between the drivers, packers, and the customer. Removing surprises equals quality. If Customer Care representatives are calling, it is because someone has a question. We are not bugging … but we are filling in information. 

·         Lastly, our drivers and agents are performing the blocking and tackling.  Winning every job starts with the basics. Too often we rush and forget the basics and a customer is dissatisfied. 

 

Professional development is a cornerstone to winning in sports and business. Arpin provides this in several ways. Our compensation schedule and rates gives you the opportunity to do the job right. Secondly, we provide the feedback for each agent and driver to assess performance and make the improvements necessary to win every job. Lastly we give you the tools through the Arpin Moving Academy and Arpin PrimeSource® to go on every job with the best training in the industry and the best technology available.
