Taming the Compensation Monster
Beth Carroll
THE MONSTER PROBLEM FOR FREIGHT BROKERS
The compensation beast can rear its ugly head in many ways. But generally, compensation problems for freight brokers come from the four employee “lacks:”
- Lack of urgency
- Lack of motivation
- Lack of good decision-making
- Lack of alignment with company objectives
Taming the Compensation Monster helps transportation and logistics providers create a sense of urgency, inspire motivation, promote better decision-making, and provide rewards that align with company objectives.

Furthermore, she knows how to design both a structure and a compensation plan and tailor it to the specific needs of each individual company.
