Fall Forum 2023 - Spolight on Speaker, Scott Rea


Scott Rea, President of AvatarFleet, will present at this year's Fall Forum:


The Purple Cow Eats Labor Shortages For Breakfast

The Purple Cow turns heads and stands out from the herd. Too often, driver and employee marketing (especially to drivers) all looks the same - black and white cows. The Purple Cow makes the job remarkable and turns your people into your best recruiters. The playbook you'll walk away with is how real transportation companies are using the 3Ps to fill their empty seats: 

  • Pitch: create a Purple Cow that stands out from the herd
  • Placement: spend the least to shout your Purple Cow from the mountain tops
  • Process: make it frictionless to go from seeing an ad to onboarding your new driver

Evan Gober, Division Manager of Operations, and Corey Brown, Shipping Manager, led students on a warehouse tour at Central Garden & Pet.

Several supply chain management students from the Integrated Logistics and Transportation Class toured one of the Central Garden & Pet warehouses this past April. The students had an opportunity to see warehouse operations in action, from putaway, picking, consolidating, staging and shipping of products.
