Consider a last-minute request to change a driver, pickup number, consignee, appointment, or delivery location.

If the request is fraudulent, the immediate problem is cargo loss. The effects can then reach:

• Operations: replacement freight and delayed production

• Inventory: inaccurate availability and replenishment decisions

• Finance: loss exposure and unplanned recovery costs

• Customer service: missed commitments and difficult explanations

The practical response is not to reject every change. Freight plans sometimes need to change.

The response is to define which changes require independent confirmation, who can approve them, and how that confirmation will be documented before freight moves.

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸.

Current risk analyses describe organized groups using compromised communications, forged identities, and shipment misdirection to obtain freight that appears to be moving through a legitimate transaction.
That changes the security question.

It is no longer enough to ask whether a company or authority number appears valid. Teams also need to ask whether the person communicating, the pickup details, and the requested instructions match information confirmed through an independent channel.

A convincing email is not the same as a verified handoff.

When conditions change:

• Identify what changed
• Reassess what is affected
• Assign ownership and timing
• Align teams and take action
• Review the outcome

The goal is not to reopen every plan. It is to recognize when a change is significant enough to require coordinated action.

A sincere thank you to Loffler Companies for hosting another outstanding golf event at Bearpath Golf & Country Club in Eden Prairie on Monday.

The Koch Logistics team was honored to sponsor Hole 8 - a daunting par 3 over wetlands that claimed its fair share of golf balls throughout the day! Fortunately, we came prepared with a few extras for anyone who found themselves donating one to the water.

More importantly, we appreciated the opportunity to meet and connect with so many of Loffler's customers, partners, and friends. Events like these are a great reminder that strong business relationships are built through meaningful connections and shared experiences.

Thank you again to the entire Loffler team for such a well-organized and enjoyable event!

𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁. 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱.

Five checkpoints can help teams recognize when the original plan needs to change:

Regulatory: Have requirements changed?

Commercial: Does the landed-cost assumption still work?

Inventory: Should timing, stock, or placement change?

Logistics: Do the mode, route, port, and lead time still fit?

Customer: Could availability, pricing, or delivery be affected?

Assign an owner and deadline to every checkpoint. Without ownership, information circulates. With ownership, information becomes a decision.

Which checkpoint is most often overlooked?

Business development team members from California, Illinois, Tennessee, and Minnesota came together for our Annual Sales Meeting to share ideas, learn from one another, and discuss the opportunities ahead.

It was also our first annual all-sales meeting since Store Opening Solutions joined the Koch family, bringing even more people, experience, and service capabilities to the team.
To top it all off, our amazing Fun Committee brought in a food truck so the entire office could enjoy some delicious smash burgers. 🍔

Thanks to everyone who helped make the week productive, collaborative, and fun!
