Wikipedia.org defines Logistis as follows Logistics: the management of the flow of goods, information and other resources, including energy and people, between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet the requirements of consumers (frequently, and originally, military organizations). Logistics involve the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material-handling, and packaging.

At Flathmann & Stern, LLC we specialize in transportation and logistics debt recovery and prevention. We know transportation. For twenty five years, our founder was the leading fee generator, and supervisor, for the largest transportation and logistics receivables management firm in the United States. He handled claims for such companies as FedEx, Polar Air Cargo, Penske, ABF Freight, AAA Cooper, U-Haul, Ryder, Old Dominion Freight, Delta Air Cargo, Lufthansa Airlines, Air France and hundreds more.

How many firms honestly know how to collect on a damage claim? Alternatively, a rate dispute? Detention and demurrage? Shipper and consignee dispute? We do. We also take control in other matters such as filing on a bond, truck or trailer leasing, air cargo, LTL or full truckload, freight forwarding, exempt commodities, debit memos. The next agency that calls you, ask them if they know what "contract cartage" means? How about an "interline agreement"? Perhaps just a basic question like what is "section 7" and why is this important? Chances are they will not know one or more of these topics. At Flathmann & Stern, LLC we not only know it, we maintain a library of laws and regulations to support our efforts. Relevant case law that pertains to whatever your situation dictates. We use this information to support our collection efforts and educate the debtor as to why, based on their legal responsibility, it is in their best interest to pay. The law, when it is on your side, is the best advantage you can have. In addition, when this advantage is combined with the assessment of legal fees, finance charges and the potential for court costs, as well a credit report, now you have the attention of even the most stubborn of debtors.

Contrary to what people may think, the art of collections is more than just asking for money. It is knowing whom you are speaking to before you pick up the phone. Knowing their financials, assessing their credit, locating assets, and using a range of psychological techniques to engage those special cases.
