Every episode tackles a different transportation topic in a fun, interactive way, gives you access to our expert, and lets you ask the questions that go beyond the written story.

  • Logistics Accelerated

    18/04/2018 Duración: 58min

    It was just an idea until it found a $38 billion market in desparate need of finding new efficiency... Then came the seed capital, the incubator mentorship, and the accelerator program. Now, that small idea is on the verge of changing the supply chain completely -- and everybody is interested. The thing is, this story is not exceptional; these days, it's the rule. Good ideas now stream into the logistics marketplace, where investors wait, hungrily eyeing business potential. In fact, Transport Topics Senior Features Writer, Daniel P. Bearth reports that since 2013, investors have poured a whopping $14.4 billion into this space. Constant innovation is the only way forward for those hoping to meet the changing needs of shippers and carriers. But that notion can be difficult to digest, especially in a space where margins are tight and risk needs constant managing. How will you exist in this change-or-be-changed space? How do you put it all together in a way that makes business sense today?

  • Recruiting Young Drivers

    08/03/2017 Duración: 57min

    Young drivers are appealing to fleets, but fleets often lose them as quickly as they find them, because millennials are more willing to job-hop than previous generations.

    The pressure is on. Only 12 months stand between motor carriers and electronic logging device enforcement. For many, the path to adoption and implementation is less than clear; the post-implementation world is even hazier. Before truckers set out with these devices by their sides, they must conquer several immediate compliance challenges - from dealing with the explosion of vendors in the market to understanding the dangers of waiting until the last minute. Then, they must strategize the post-compliance world. What, they must ask, will ELD adoption mean for freight capacity and freight rates? To help you keep your sanity and arm you for the next leg of your ELD journey, Transport Topics Technology Editor Seth Clevenger assembled an expert panel with perspectives from drivers, fleet owners, researchers and analysts. This is one episode you don't want to miss.
