As long as the kids can get to enjoy this, they can take it back to their school and tell their friends about it, and get their friends to do well so they can come back here next year. |
But it's the infield to me. I play first as though I were a third baseman or a shortstop. I pride myself on my defense. I pay a lot of attention to it. |
Chief financial officers are becoming better educated about the role and impact of logistics on financial performance, driven in part by the need to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA). Many companies, however, do not have a clear and accurate understanding of their transportation costs. They're often bundled together with other costs and reported at an aggregated level, thus preventing companies from allocating transportation costs to specific products, customers, or business units. |
Companies often implement collaborative planning and forecasting with upstream vendors and manufacturing partners, but they rarely translate these demand and production forecasts into transportation capacity requirements and share them with carriers. But some shippers are now providing forward visibility to carriers and securing capacity in advance. These shippers are receiving priority in capacity allocation over shippers that do not if only because carriers appreciate the effort these shippers are making to keep them informed. |
Customers who take the Descartes Challenge pay only for the implementation, then pay for the solution itself later, once its value has been proven. |

I faced Jake a couple of times in Spring Training. It didn't go very well. He's a great pitcher. I'm glad I'm on his side now. |
I had to put a lot of heart into it. Seeing (Kelly) also being a 'six' seed go in there and win made me think I could go in there and win. It made me give my all. |
I have been taking flies out there. We will see how it goes, ... I'm going to take it like I'm taking a fly ball from first base. I don't know how I will be at it. |
I just have to get used to it. The outfield grass is different than the infield grass. I learned that. I did well for my first time. I had fun out there. |
I played in Double-A and it was the same level of baseball. There were players who were 30 and 35 years old. They knew the game and I learned a lot. |
