Why “Probably” Is the Most Expensive Word in Logistics

01/19/2026

The most expensive word in logistics isn’t “delayed.”
It’s ”probably.”

”The truck will probably arrive Tuesday.”
”We can probably fit it on the next load.”
”Customs will probably clear by Friday.”

Every “probably” is a customer already making backup plans.

Vague language doesn’t just create uncertainty — it creates cost. Customers hold inventory they didn’t need to order. Dealers can’t promise delivery windows. Fleet managers can’t finalize rotations. Revenue sits frozen because someone said “probably” instead of “confirmed.”

At CRC Transport, we eliminate “probably” from our vocabulary.
Not “the truck will probably arrive.” “The truck arrives Tuesday at 2 PM.”
Not “customs will probably clear.” “Customs cleared. ETA updated.”

In this business, “probably” costs more than any delay ever could.
