Look in business as in life sometimes something just needs to get somewhere. That all sounds vague but so is life. You never know when one of these "emergencies" will pop up. Business is all about being able to deliver, under any conditions, under any short period of notice. If you are a pie maker and some body needs a hundred pies four or five states over in 24 hours, you're not going to hem and haw your way through the request. With confidence you are going to see your pies will see you in 22 hours. It is that kind of confidence that allows people to become big successful world renowned and respected. It is that attitude that will make you a regular olde The Pie Boss.
Now having that confidence and delivering on it are two very different things. To get those pies where they need to be you're going to need organization, equipment transport and speed. Basically you're going to need some serious logistics. And buddy, you may know pies but you might want to consult a logistics company because getting stuff from point A to B, is not as simple as that phrase would suggest. The ins and outs of freight cost, freight shippers, equipment trucking and all the rest is complicated and it needs to be understood to be properly executed. I mean sometimes you get lucky and everything goes perfectly, but most of the time there is something, some problem, some technical failure, some snafu that needs to be handled. A logistics company is a great asset to handling those sanfus.
Freight shipping like say, baking, is a complex business with many moving parts. You really can't be managing an oven while also managing a bunch of guys there to ship freight. You are but one person. Why not find an expert? Hey if I need pies I call a baker. (Or I visit a baker at his shop, my contacts list is sadly lacking in the baked goods area.) If you need to ship freight call freight shippers or a logistics company. The peace of mind in not sitting around worrying about something being delivered on time and in good condition is humungous. A good freight shipper will take whatever it is you need moved and get it there with time to spare. They will probably even manage to have a few adventures in between there. I mean at least as I imagine it.
