First loading into our consol blogx

Welcome to Consol Blogx’s first post. We will use this first entry as a letter of intent on what this will be about.

What is Consol Blogx?

This will be a a place to blog and share a mix of ideas about different aspects of foreign trade logistics, freight forwarders, customs brokers and customs brokerage, transport, warehousing, etc.

Eventually, we might also make some announcements about TIBA: new offices, special events and the like. That shouldn’t be too much though.

Since its geographic focus will be Spain, most posts will be in Spanish only. Eventually we’ll translate some of them when we think they might be interesting for a broader international audience.

Why the name?

It all started with the analogy of a consolidation container for LCL or ‘consol box’ where different types of cargoes are transported together. We’ll be mixing a lot of ideas here so that made sense. Add ‘blog’ into that and we have ‘consol blogx’.

So how often?

That’s the tough part. Today it’s May 1st, Labor Day. So take this as our good-will statement. We’ll try to work hard on it and blog about biweekly.

And who’s behind it?

Our management will take care, with the help of some of the TIBA family. Contributions from fellow business partners will be very much appreciated, so you can expect some of that too.

Don’t expect our pictures here. Our ego will be best satisfied with your comments, hopefully on the positive side.

Anything else?

Not really. This is our first post of our first blog ever. So if you start following from now, please allow for a learning curve, we’ll try as hard at this as we do at our normal job.
