Rock On: Freightdawg.com is One Year Old.

Freightdawg.com will be one year old in January 2008. During 2007 I, and a number of associates, have posted over 250 articles on transportation, logistics and supply chain related subjects. 

"Your participation as a reader and responder have been vitally important and greatly appreciated."

Freightdawg started as a personal blog, but has grown to be much more. I've been in this industry for almost 25 years. For that reason, I figured I had at least something to share. What I found was that I had a lot more to learn! 

Freightdawg is more than a blog now. It is a journey.  Reader input and advice, as well as social networks like LinkedIn.com have contributed tremendously to both whom and what I know about our field. For that reason alone...establishing Freightdawg was a great idea and a blessing.

Thankfully, many supply chain professionals in industry, academia and business research share their knowledge.  Your data provides perspective and validation on what would have otherwise been conjecture here. One thing I have found to be universally true is that all I have talked with care deeply about our industry. While there are multiple constituencies that comprise the logistics business, all have an interest in its relative wellbeing.

"To those who read this blog and to those whom I have met this year, a humble THANK YOU."

I wish you both Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas.

Wow. Not sure how I missed this post. Perhaps it was the holiday insanity.

Congratulations on a banner year of blogging. I use FreightDawg.com as an example in my talks with others about why executives should blog: You have greatly enhanced your own career while casting a very positive light on DHL. Win/Win.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks guys. I've enjoyed the effort for a few reasons. First I've made some new friends and learned a lot from those who visit and write to me. Second, I've found that it has deepened several business relationships toward more personal ones.

Time is a consideration, but the nice thing about blogging is that its one hobby you can do from a hotel room on the road. Thats constructive when you travel as much as I do!

Freightdawg has also forced me to research many of the buzz topics of our industry. That has been very valuable professionally.

Thanks again for your kind thoughts. Your participation here is what makes this all great.

It's a lot of work to publish as regularly as you do...thanks very much!

I enjoy the down to earth approach to some fairly advanced logistics topics. It's great to see others enjoy discussing the same things as I do.

I look forward to a great 2008.

Eric, many congratulations on your first anniversary. I am just completing my first full year as a Supply Chain & Logistics consultant, and am wondering where the time has gone! Thanks for your stimulating comments - and I agree with you, there's still a lot to learn! Best wishes, Paul
