Thanks for this excellent video, I reached out to ShipBob right after this video.

Great video, this is how I explain it to my students: Subject: Read: Clarification on 3PL versus 4PL lecture today (this is a huge job market for ISMers) Students: I think getting an internship at Coyote Logistics (CL) would be an excellent opportunity for ISM students in general. Just keep in mind that non asset based 3PLs such as CL, CH Robinson, TQL, etc., recruit across all majors, especially general management, general marketing, and sales marketing. I would prefer that students work for companies that pay a premium for your ISM degree. However, 3PLs provide services in an industry that you are majoring in, so to that extent it is a great match for you. Also, some of you have strong sales skills and/or want to develop those skills moving forward in your SCM careers (which makes sense given that you will be interacting with suppliers a lot). A major trend in SCM is reverse marketing and supply base deproliferation. That means buying organizations are trying to shift a larger and larger amount of volume to a fewer and fewer number of suppliers (that way they get huge price discounts from economies of scale, make sense? - this is supply base deproliferation - reduce the number of suppliers that you do business with). Sometimes, you have to go to your current suppliers and convince them to take on more business (that is called reverse marketing). The goal is to do a lot of outsourcing with a few key strategic suppliers. For example, in reality, Toyota only has around 12 suppliers. It would be great work experience and would help you also get your foot in the door for another internship or even a fulltime job at OEMS such as GM and John Deere if you got some work experience at a 3PL or 4PL (all work experience is good work experience). Again, a 4PL is a company that can do all logistics for a company and a 3PL can actually only perform some logistics. For example, if you can only handle warehousing, but cannot handle inbound and outbound, then you are a 3PL (a truck driver with a trailer is a 3PL, but he/she is an asset based 3PL if they own the truck and trailer). 3PLS are evolving into 4PLs, which means if a company goes to them, then they (the 4PL) can perform all logistics services for a customer (i.e., inbound, outbound, warehousing, etc. - one stop shopping for all things related to movement of goods). Coyote Logistics has actually evolved into a non asset based "4PL" because they can do everything logistics related for customers. However, because they are non asset based, they do not own anything themselves. They just outsource everything to 3PLS and manage the process for their customers. Why would their customers not do this themselves? Because CL can do it better, faster, and cheaper and these customers can then focus on their core business (which usually has nothing to do with logistics). Finally, JB Hunt would be considered an asset based 4PL because they can perform all logistics services for companies such as Whirlpool, but JB Hunt actually owns the stuff it takes to move things around. For example, JB Hunt has trucks, trailers, drivers, containers, railway capacity, distribution hubs, etc. However, JB charges a premium for customized services and is not as price competitive as non asset based 4PLs. Whirlpool is very OK with that since JB Hunt offers exceptional quality service and JB Hunt still does it better, faster, and cheaper than Whirlpool. I hope this helps and makes sense. Do you feel like you know the subtle difference between a 3PL and 4PL? Would you want to work for a 3PL or 4PL?

[@jsanford01]

The laughing and multiple takes is confusing. I get the bubbly component, but he was trying to be serious and explain. Her questions were good, just deliver the message in one solid take.

[@thefoodiecouplebynihalsajn9826]

Your right... She laughing simply in BTW while he explains. Other than that this was a good informative one...

[@oboealto]

[@achrafcadaf3649]

hello Jessy, it's better if you speak normally rather than trying to be funny, cause that makes you look silly, yet thank you for the valuable information

[@onimisipeter1532]

The lady's uncontrollable smile, laughs and interjections make the show unprofessional. Thou it's informative

[@deanm9652]

Good video but are you like 5 feet tall or is he like 8 feet tall? Or both? lol
