Lessons Learned From Shipping Wars

The A&E show Shipping Wars follows six independent shippers who have discovered that fortunes can be made transporting items that traditional carriers won’t touch. Shipping Wars is a 10-episode half-hour series begins with back-to-back episodes Tuesday, January 10 at 9PM and 9:30PM ET/PT.

I have loved this show and watched almost every episode. Besides being in love with one of the shippers named Jennifer, I have learned a lot from this show. This show has taught me about competition. Manly how there is always someone willing to undercut someone else. There are people in the show that aren’t willing to compromise and there are people willing to push the limits.

Typically the people that undercut the others are always losing money. It’s the same in the business world, if you do a great job, you don’t need to worry about people always undercutting you. Do a great job at what you do and be happy with it. Though people on the show undercut others, the ones that work hard and do a good job always make the money!
