LinkedIn Profile
Rich’s parcel freight career began in 1998 with the purchase of a Worldwide Express (then Airborne Express) franchise. While growing the company, Rich began to offer customers greater insight into their small parcel freight expenditures and refund reconciliation for carrier billing errors and packages that failed to meet their guaranteed commitments. It became abundantly clear that big shippers needed a proactive, evidence-based advocate to help them reduce freight expenses through visibility, consulting, and refund reconciliation.
Rich’s quest to completely understand all aspects of carrier invoicing, contracts, and the networks they operate is a passion. As President of Parcel Management Auditing and Consulting, he works tirelessly to maintain shipper visibility in an environment where carrier invoicing and contract language progressively become more complicated and sophisticated.
In conjunction with the entire PMAC team, Rich has been instrumental in the development of all proprietary software solutions, utilities, tools, and applications. The dynamics, intelligence, and commitment of the PMAC team have created and will continue to build the most comprehensive line item audit, tracking, reporting, and visibility solutions in the industry today.
“Corporate shipping expenditures are frequently the largest inherent business cost and the ones easiest to be confounded. The proper tools, applications, and consulting partner yield a level of visibility that will ensure these shipping expenditures are the most manageable.”
