Courchesne Larose Looks to Blue Book for Industry Leadership and Growth

There’s not one day that goes by that buyers don’t use the Blue Book. We have to work with the Blue Book. They’re nice people to deal with. They have so many different departments, from credit to customer service, and you get answers. Working with the Blue Book is simple. - Guy Millett, Executive Vice President

Crystal Valley Foods Relies on Blue Book

I have always relied on the Blue Book, not only for freight or collection related questions, but they are also my primary source for assessing a new or existing customer…their reports are the backbone of how I analyze the customer and what I use as my recommendations to the GM and President before we decide how to proceed. - Vanna Zuckerman, Credit & Collections Manager at Crystal Valley Foods
