Consulting built for people who run freight, not theorize about it
Five ways to work with DFS Consulting, each grounded in the same standard: show up, tell the truth, and leave the operation better than it was found.
Executive Advisory
One-on-one advisory for owners and executives working through a decision that's hard to think through alone.
Who it's for
For owners, presidents, and VPs of freight, brokerage, or 3PL operations facing expansion, succession, restructuring, or a hire that has to be right.
What you get
- A confidential sounding board from someone who has run a logistics company, not just studied one
- A structured way to work through the decision, with the trade-offs named plainly
- Follow-up support until the decision is made and acted on
Operations Consulting
A practical, ground-level review of how a freight or brokerage operation actually runs day to day.
Who it's for
For operations that feel busy but not efficient: too much firefighting, unclear ownership, or a technology stack nobody fully trusts.
What you get
- A full walk-through of workflow, staffing, technology, and compliance
- A written plan of specific changes, ranked by impact and effort
- Direct involvement in getting the highest-impact changes started
RFP, Rate & Contract Strategy
Support preparing for and responding to freight RFPs, rate negotiations, and carrier or shipper contracts.
Who it's for
For teams putting together a bid, negotiating a renewal, or trying to understand why a contract keeps costing more than it should.
What you get
- A second read on pricing and terms before anything is signed
- Help building the numbers into a case that holds up under scrutiny
- Coaching for the people in the room during the actual negotiation
Team Training & Mentorship
Structured training and ongoing mentorship for dispatchers, brokers, and account managers.
Who it's for
For teams that are technically capable but inconsistent, or growing faster than their training can keep up with.
What you get
- Sessions built around the team's real accounts, not generic case studies
- A mentorship cadence that continues after the initial training
- Delivered through DFS Consulting or, for individuals, through Kerr University
Business Strategy & Growth Planning
Planning support for logistics company owners deciding on their next stage of growth, sale, or succession.
Who it's for
For founders asking whether to grow, hold steady, bring in a partner, or start planning an exit.
What you get
- An honest outside assessment of where the business actually stands
- A realistic plan for the path the owner chooses, not a generic playbook
- Ongoing advisory through the execution, not just a report and a handshake
Send a message and describe the problem, not the service
Most engagements start as a conversation, not a form. Tell Digby what's actually going on and he'll tell you honestly whether DFS Consulting is the right fit.
