      • Consolidation — M&A is driven by the squeeze on profit margins, the demand for investments and upgrading fleets, and the trend toward truck and rail intermodal operations. We can help you grow through strategic acquisitions and find a qualified buyer or business partner.

      • Fighting fraud — a strong anti-fraud program is a must. Narrow margins in transportation and weak internal controls or segregation of duties policies can create the opportunity for internal fraud, or theft during loading and unloading.
