- Shippers and receivers communicate: >>> In person. >>> Using the telephone. > Using specialized communications signals. For example, using hand signals to direct truck drivers. ------------- Background noise from machinery, trucks, the public address system or the radio can impede communication.
- Shippers and receivers: (Working with others) >> Participate in formal discussions about work processes or product improvement. >>> Have opportunities to make suggestions on improving work processes. > Monitor the work performance of others. >> Inform other workers or demonstrate to them how tasks are performed. > Orient new employees. > Select contractors and suppliers. >> Assign routine tasks to other workers. ============== Computer Use >> Use a database. For example, they may access and record shipment information. > Use a spreadsheet. For example, they may enter load weights. > Use bookkeeping, billing and accounting software. For example, they may print orders for their own information.

- To ensure profitability in the future, companies should balance their incentives so that they reward both success at the moment and innovation for the future, as well as group or company rather than individual achievement. In addition, employers should foster a culture of commitment to reassure employees that their long-term interests are aligned with those of the companies they serve.
