and countries.As an industry leader in information technology, ClearFreight has developed its own sophisticated transportation software,which is licensed for use by other leading companies, and we frequently provide our clients with customized applications to better serve their needs around the world.” BVM: What other important points would you like us to knowabout ClearFreight? Reynolds: “ClearFreight is divided into four indus- tries–Air Export (20% of income),Ocean Export (20%), Import Transportation (15 to 20%), and Cus- toms Brokerage (30 to 35%)–and we’re looking to create a fifth.That would be Domestic Transporta- tion.We’re seeing better margins in domestic than international. Lately, because of the strong dollar, imports have been bigger, but it’s all about currency. When the dollar gets weaker, you see the exports boom. “So,we’re in a very good position vis a vis some competitors who concentrate on an 80-20 basis, either on imports or exports.We’ve always been 50-50 and that’s insulated us from currency and dif- ferent types of changes in the international envi- ronment.That’s howwe survive and thrive.” PREFERREDVENDOR L&DTransport -Founded in 2008, L&D Transport specializes in local and regional trucking solutions, including: cross-town services in the greater Detroit area; cost-effective, intermodal trucking services in Michigan,Ohio, and Indiana; and rail to truck transloading.The company’s mission is to provide its customers the best-in-class transportation solu- tions.
