We will walk you through how to overcome these gaps by utilizing best practices to eliminate these obstacles and maximize bottom-line profitability.  #### Steve Huntley Author ## Recommended For You [![](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/How%20RLG%20Eases%20the%20Back-Office%20Burden.jpg)](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/how-rlg-eases-the-back-office-burden-resource-logistics-group) [About Us: Services Transportation](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/tag/about-us-services-transportation) [outsourcing logistics, transportation management s](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/tag/outsourcing-logistics-transportation-management-sy) [shipping, logistics, customer service, customer ex](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/tag/shipping-logistics-customer-service-customer-expec) [contracts, logistics relationships, negotiations](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/tag/contracts-logistics-relationships-negotiations) [How RLG Eases the Back-Office Burden Optimizing yo](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/tag/how-rlg-eases-the-back-office-burden-optimizing-yo) 3 Min Read ### [How RLG Eases the Back-Office Burden 9-22-25](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/how-rlg-eases-the-back-office-burden-resource-logistics-group) [Steve Huntley Sep 22, 2025 8:28:53 AM](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/author/steve-huntley) [![](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/how-packaging-minimizes-freight-claims.jpg)](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/smart-packaging-minimizes-freight-claims-resource-logistics-group) [About Us: Services Transportation](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/tag/about-us-services-transportation) 4 Min Read ### [Smart Packaging Minimizes Freight Claims (06/22/26)](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/smart-packaging-minimizes-freight-claims-resource-logistics-group) [Steve Huntley Jun 22, 2026 8:56:35 AM](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/author/steve-huntley) [![](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/technology-ltl-rates.jpg)](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/negotiating-your-ltl-shipping-carrier-contracts-with-a-helpful-tms-resource-logistics-group) [About Us: Services Transportation](https://www.resourcelogisticsgroup.com/logisticstoday/tag/about-us-services-transportation) [Want Better LTL Shipping Rates?
