Company History

Chris McKinney’s management consulting skills and his ability to analyze businesses operations laid the groundwork for establishing McKinney Consulting Inc. His gift of being able to organize work flows, define tasks, methods and procedures to achieve the highest level of overall efficiency and profitability for an organization has earned McKinney Consulting a track record of successes.

McKinney Consulting Inc.’s work with Intermodal Marketing Companies stretches back to 1986 when they started to develop the system that became the predecessor for the current ADVANTAGE: product line. From the work with “Shippers Agents,” as they were called back in 1986, to some of the most profitable Intermodal Marketing Companies today, Chris learned a great deal about the Drayage Business. With this knowledge and understanding of the Drayage business and recognizing the opportunity that existed to help Intermodal Trucking Companies, McKinney Consulting began developing their system for Drayage Carriers in 1997.
