A plethora of key issues face conference

The third Cargo Network Services Partnership Conference in Orlando, FL, on May 2-5, 1993 will tackle major industry concerns which need to be addressed to improve the industry's state. These include direct carrier contact with shippers which threaten forwarders' businesses. Other issues are the need to improve the pricing method of airlines and to develop a training program for new employees to ensure a competent staff and reliable service. Industry experts note that the mistrust between carriers and forwarders and the current economic difficulties compound the industry's problems.
