By Dan Gilmore, Editor-In-Chief SUPPLY CHAIN DIGEST (August 2004 edition)
"Bob Shagawat of Shippers Commonwealth has for years spoken and written about the potential savings from multi-party shipper TL collaboration.

Mr. Shagawat is currently advancing a new multi-shipper consortium with five Fortune 100 corporate sponsors, building on his years of pioneering work in this area since 1992.
