Ahern and Associates Announces Three New Trucking and Logistics Operational Consulting Assignments

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 08:32:48 +0000

Transportation consultants asked to assist three separate companies in improving operations and position for future growth.

/EINPresswire.com/ Phoenix, AZ, November 18, 2011 — Rounding out what has been a record year for mergers and acquisitions for the transportation consultants at Ahern and Associates, Ltd., the firm has again been engaged by three new clients to enhance operating efficiencies, improve overall profitability and properly position them for the next three to five years. The new consulting assignments come on the heels of their most recently closed deal in which Andy Ahern, CEO of Ahern and Associates aided Bennett International in the acquisition of Best Ways Brokerage.

Ahern has repeatedly demonstrated unequaled proficiency in assisting trucking and logistics companies of all sizes in improving operations and cutting expenses--ranging from the regional carriers with a few independent operators to the nation's largest publicly held companies. Half of Ahern's practice involves mergers and acquisitions while the other half of their business involves assisting trucking, logistics and warehousing companies in improving their profitability, establishing strategic plans for growth and also developing exit strategies.

Ahern's first assignment was with a less than truckload (LTL) carrier who has asked the firm to review their core operating elements to individual shipments, customers, shipping points, rates for bids, routes and terminals. As part of Ahern's thorough, on-site analysis, the team of consultants also reviewed which segments of the business are currently profitable and which are not profitable. In addition, Ahern and Associates reviewed and analyzed:
The company's base rate.
Their revenues per hundred weight per shipment and per segment.
The surcharge per hundred weight per shipment and per segment.
Also analyzed and tracked was the company's cost and productivity separately for pick up routes, delivery routes, stops, crossed docks and line hauls.

Ahern's analysis also included time data, pound per man hour, load factors and other productivity assignments. Concluding their assignment, the firm was able to demonstrate an actual savings in excess of $750K to the company's bottom line profitability within a 60-90 day period.
Ahern's next assignment is with a flatbed carrier which requires assistance in developing a five year business plan and exit plan. This company is very well established in the community with a twenty year track record of specializing in flatbed operations and utilizing independent contractors.

Ahern has been contracted to review their individual loads, customers, shipping points, rates for bids, lanes, independent contractor productivity. As part of their analysis, Ahern will also review the total revenues, total expenses and bottom line profit dollars; profit percentages and operating ratios. Their process will also closely analyze:
Line haul revenue per mile, per load and per segment.
Surcharge revenue per mile, per load and per segment.
Ahern and his staff will also analyze the loaded miles, total miles and empty miles, and rank their customers based on operating ratios, profit dollars and other criteria.
The final of the most recent assignments is for a truckload/van operation which has been in business in excess of 25 years. The company is currently profitable and wishes to improve their profitability and increase overall market share.

In addition, the company asked for Ahern's assistance in providing a software program that will generate a detailed P&L statement that shows which segments of their business is profitable, which segments of their business is not profitable and provide instantaneous costing for their sales staff when providing quotes to customers.

For Ahern's clients, the solution to that request is most often found in their acclaimed Financial I.Q. transportation software. Financial I.Q. has the unique ability to create "what if" capabilities for measuring the bottom line affect in any changes and rates, cost productivity, miles per gallon, business volume and other items. It's a standalone Windows program that operates on desk top and laptop computers.
"We're eager to assist these companies in improving their operations, increasing profitability and planning for future growth and see these new assignments as validation of our leading position within the transportation industry," explained Ahern.

About Ahern & Associates, Ltd.:
Ahern and Associates is North America's leading trucking and transportation management consulting firm. The skilled consultants at Ahern and Associates specialize in mergers and acquisitions of trucking and logistics companies as well as the restructuring and evaluation of existing carriers that seek to increase operating efficiency and improve profitability.

Never Been Done Before Movie Tells the Story of Pro-Stock Drag Racing in the USA!

Mon, 01 Aug 2011 16:08:16 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/100 Million "Motorheads" worldwide have waited 60 years for this picture! "10.0 To Glory" follows the life and times of Pro-Stock Drag Racing in America from the humble beginnings at Pomona, California in 1951 right through to the current day. It's "the real deal" showing how it was, and is, in the most watched and most dangerous sport in the world!

Writer, director, producer Joe Carlin was about to go head on into his next project when he was invited to The Shakedown at E-Town at Englishtown, New Jersey by an official supporter of his recently released independent feature film "The Tea Man" . Joe had never been to a drag race before and had no idea what to expect. He said "It took about 10 seconds and I was hooked! You have guys in t-shirts and jeans creating more raw power from the start then the guys in suits and ties at NASA can create for the Space Shuttle take off…incredible!"

Given the fact that a 747 Airplane gets off the ground at 160 mph and these cars run over 200 mph in less than 5 seconds, it's a wonder they can stay on the ground. Like with anything Joe gets involved with, he had to know everything about Drag Racing, where it came from, the players, the rules, what makes up a good team and after researching he was astounded to find that in the 60 year history (2011 being the 60th Anniversary year) not one film was dedicated to the story of Pro-Stock Drag Racing in America. He immediately went to work.

"I was in the middle of editing "The Tea Man" when I started piecing together the story. I didn't want it to be a documentary or just another "all grab no feel" race car movie. I needed this to have substance, I needed it to have respect for the sport and most importantly, I needed to show how the sport evolved. Not just the mechanics but the human element, that was the key." Joe said. Here's a short synopsis of the film:

The Garrett Brother Drag Racing Team survives triumph and tragedy and a young Eddie "Raze" Garrett earns his nickname by leveling all his 10.0 Index Racing competition ever since he was 15 years old. Walking away from a horrific accident that left his best friend paralyzed, Eddie vowed never to race again, but a downturn in the economy forces him to reconsider in order to save his home, his family and provide for his special needs child. Can Eddie take his Index Racing Legacy into "The Big Leagues" of Pro-Stock, "The Grand Daddy of 'em all" and earn a World Championship? He has everything to gain and everything to lose.

Once Joe finished the script there were no better critics in the world then the men and women who actually "lived and breathed" the sport. Joe sent it out and waited. "Big Daddy" Don Garlits, Bruce Allen, Doug Foley, Brenda Paddock, "The Voice" Bob Frey and as unbelievable as it sounds, "The Kid" Darrell Gwynn, all agreed to be part of the film! "I put heart and soul and tears into this script and came up with something that brings out the love and family and hope that surrounds these athletes every time they get behind that wheel. Knowing that these "Living Legends" felt the same way made all that effort worth while."

Joe added, "To do this right, and that's what this story deserves, nothing less, it takes funding. It's not a "good money after bad" situation here. With over 100 million "Motorheads" worldwide, this film has all the potential to blast through box-office records at over 200 mph!"

You can see and read more about the movie and watch some amazing videos at the facebook page "10.0 To Glory" or visit www.10toglory.com for Joe's contact info.

Europarts Offers Saving Up to 75% Below Dealer Prices on Sprinter Breaks and Many Other Parts

Mon, 11 Jul 2011 22:58:11 +0000

As a mail-order company, Europarts of San Diego's new online store offers discount from 20% to 75% below franchise dealer prices on parts like Sprinter brakes, Eurovan alternators, and more

/EINPresswire.com/ San Diego, CA— Longtime customers of Europarts of San Diego and owners of European cars and trucks have a great new way to get expensive and hard to find parts delivered at a great price. The company's new online store allows customers to find the parts they need at prices 20% to 75% lower than franchise dealer prices.

"If you are looking for hard to find Sprinter brake kits, or you are looking for an obscure part for 1997 Eurovan, you now have a place to shop at your convenience anywhere in the country," states Steve Schock, Europart's owner.

Europarts receives all of their European automobile parts from the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Most car parts are not manufactured by the corporations that design the cars and trucks we love to drive. Companies like Volvo, Saab, BMW, or Porsche will make some of the parts like major engine casting and sheet metal, but the majority of the work is contracted out to OEM specialists. Because Europarts buys these parts right from the manufacturer they are able to pass significant savings on to their customers.

Europarts has been selling OEM parts by mail order for over a quarter of a century, but their new online store adds a level of convenience that customers will truly enjoy. The online store allows customers to search for Eurovan and Sprinter brakes, transmission services, spark plugs, shocks, and more.

Not all of the thousands of possible replacement parts for European automobile parts are listed online, so Europarts also has a Parts Inquiry form. This form allows users to ask the experts at Europarts questions about specific parts and even get price quotes on hard to find parts.

"Although we specialize in Eurovan and Sprinter OEM parts like Sprinter brakes and Sprinter brake kits, we will do our best to get you European car parts we can order," Schock said.

Europarts serves customers to the United States, Canada, and 23 other countries around the globe. Even with the convenience of the new online shopping cart, Steve will still be available to help you solve a problem, answer a question, or share the latest travel adventure.

About Europarts:

Europarts of San Diego is a mail order European automobile replacement parts supplier. Purchases of OEM products can be ordered online, by fax, email, or by calling 1-858-451-0020. Orders are usually shipped within 24 hours.

Auto Lift Parts Supplier SVI International, Inc., Offers Custom Lift Repair Parts and Services

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 08:02:19 +0000

DEKALB, IL - SVI International, Inc. (SVI), a Chicago area manufacturer components used in both the repair and production of automotive lifts provides hard to find and obsolete parts that enable customers to extend the life of their industrial lifts.

SVI is increasingly looked to as a problem solver when a lift component is obsolete or the manufacturer who initially developed the product is long out of business.

"Essentially, we offer our customers the chance to not have to go out and buy a whole new lift when a component fails," says Doug Climenhaga, President of SVI International. "We don't just sell vehicle lift parts. We make our own for lifts, both new and used. This thing is, our people have three decades of experience in manufacturing custom lift parts and our customers have come to like that - and demand more of it."

Climenhaga also pointed out that the best thing about automotive lifts is also their worst attribute. Automotive lifts tend to last for a long time. Because of this, many systems installed years ago need replacement parts.

The other thing about automotive lifts, Climenhaga said, is that if a company uses them, they are usually integral to its business.

"If you are operating a business that uses automotive lifts, or if you sell to businesses that do, we know that you need a custom part as soon as possible," Climenhaga said.

SVI servces customers by listening to their problem and providing a custom-built part that keeps its original investment paying off for years. This utilization of consistent, compatible part sourcing and manufacturing sets SVI apart from many parts suppliers, and helps them save their customers' time and money.

About SVI International, Inc.
SVI International (www.sviinternational.com) is a leading manufacturer of components used in both the repair and production of all types of lifts in the automotive lift industry, from specific brands like Challenger Parts to complete lift styles and rotary lift parts. They serve over 2,000 companies throughout the United States and Canada with automotive lift parts. SVI was founded in 1977 and is headquartered in DeKalb, Illinois.

Trucking consultant, Andy Ahern receives strong praise from trucking company owners he has recently worked with.

Phoenix, AZ, August 24, 2010—After helping hundreds of trucking companies pull through tough economic times in either the form of bottom-line balance sheet rectification or guiding a stressed owner through the perils of selling his trucking company, Andy Ahern has seen it all and is now receiving due praise for his work.

We had to listen and do exactly what he said…he has great connections and will turn your business completely around if you only just take that one chance and listen….our business has turned around and we now have a great future planned."

Greatwide Logistics: "In the 3 years we have worked together, I continue to be impressed with your team's ability to find high quality acquisition targets….while there are good investment bankers who specialize in transportation and logistics, none are more focused on the industry…have the broad range of relationships…or can provide the type of attractive targets we have closed together…..I find tremendous value in my unconditional trust of you and your team and your integrity."

Christenson Transportation: "We hired Andy Ahern to do a business review…by giving us a roadmap to success he turned our business around within thirty days….he didn't just take our money and run (after the deal was done) he willingly became a sounding board and stayed on through all the tough decisions…most of all, we found someone we could trust to tell me the truth and not just what we wanted to hear."

Bridgestone Motorcycle Tyres Announced As Early 2010 Sales Leader

Thu, 20 May 2010 08:39:34 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Fast Tyres Direct today announced that their range of motorcycle tyres from Bridgestone has been the top seller in the opening period of the motorcycle season.

Leading online tyre retailer Fast Tyres Direct predicted a busy start to the biker season in 2010, so far the signs are that Bridgestone motorcycle tyres are leading the way in sales.

Fast Tyres Direct stock a wide range of motorbike tyres from all the major performance and budget tyre manufacturers, Bridgestone however has been the choice of no less than 88% of sales through the website in the last three months.

A large factor in this trend is put down to the durability and grip on the tyres. Gary Kay of Fast Tyres had this to say "Quite often our customers call us before placing an order on the website to ask for our advice on which tyres best suit individual motorbikes, however since the start of the motorbike season in 2010 the bulk our our calls have related to riders looking for the best Bridgestone tyres."

"We have discussed in depth why people are choosing the bridgestone motorcycle tyres ahead of our other stocked brands
and the feedback more often than not has been that the tyres have a longer life than other manufacturers and also that on the many windy A Roads in the UK that they offer a grip like no other."

The news is obviously one that will be of interest to not just Bridgestone, but all the tyre companies to see if their own sales are following this trend.

Rival manufacturers would also do well to take note and ask themselves if there is room for improvement in the design and final production of each brand of tyre.

Fast Tyres Direct and no doubt many other online retailers will be hoping the busy start to the season continues throughout the year.

A full range of motorcycle tyres can be found by visiting www.fasttyres.co.uk.
