I'm taking a page out of Reed's book and made a video recapping my Mid-America Trucking Show 2024 (my first logistics/supply chain conference) experience. I just had such a great time, and I have too many names to shout out and thank for being a part of this experience, so I figured I'd make a video highlighting it all! It's lengthy, I don't blame you if you don't watch it all. But my closing statement is pretty simple: Don't wait! Go to these conferences! Especially if you haven't already. Meet your internet LinkedIn/FreightX friends IRL. You won't regret it. You'll make special memories. If you work in any capacity of the logistics industry, I better be seeing ALL of you at MATS 2025. It's gonna be a movie. Special shout outs to: -Adam DeGroot and the Dock411 team for opening up their Airbnb to me for Thursday night! -TruckSmarter & LOST FR8 for the 10TWENTY brewery happy hour -Reed Loustalot for organizing and hosting the Patrick O'Shea's Please Advise meetup Thursday night -Sense Per Mile for hosting the very fun PBR VIP party Friday night -Truckstop, just because I witnessed greatness and a historic FreightX event -There's soooo many more names mentioned! Too many shout outs to type SAY NO TO CHEAP FREIGHT #mats #mats2024 #midamericatruckingshow #logistics #freight #supplychain #logisticsconference #freightconference

The Maverick Forwards: The Importance of Making a Decision and Staying One Step Ahead I recently had the opportunity to read the latest issue (3/2024) of the Breakbulk Events & Media Magazine which features Rudolf Reisdorf, the owner of Fracht Group - Switzerland, Fracht Group - North America and all other branches worldwide, in its cover story. When sharing this issue within the company he emphasized the fact that this article is not about his achievements, but about the achievements of the company as a whole. In his words: "Really, it's not a one man show - it's the team - it's our team and our family spirit that make the difference". In the article he asserts that even if not every decision optimal, the act of decision-making is the most crucial aspect of any project, regardless of its outcome. He states: "There are generally only two things on my table: Problems and opportunities, both of which cost money." As the company is wholly owned by the family decisions are made fast and communication paths are short. The company's investments are always financed from within the company, thereby limiting the number of shareholders and stakeholders. Moreover, for a company with such a global reach it is important to make every employee feel as important and special as they are. The partnership with Inter Miami CF serves to unite the company even further and foster the sense of a global family. As stated in the article the succession is secured by his daughters which I am one of. I am incredibly grateful for the given opportunity and extremely inspired by the work of my grandfather and my father. I can't wait to start myself after finishing my Master in International Management/CEMS WU Vienna.

Happy Saturday, everyone! Something to think about as you enjoy your weekend. We're all in this together, and that's why the Broker Carrier Summit is so important. If Brokers and Carriers embark on a bold initiative to proactively understand each other and work together as a cohesive group, the freight industry has no choice but to get better. Here are some reasons why any freight broker, motor carrier, or other freight industry stakeholder should make it a point to attend the Broker Carrier Summit Summit in Fort Worth, Texas, this October: 1. Networking Opportunities: Connect with industry leaders and peers (Certified #NonScumbags)to build strong professional relationships. 2. Innovative Solutions: Discover the latest technologies and strategies to enhance your business operations. 3. Educational Sessions: Learn from expert speakers about trends, challenges, and best practices in the freight industry. 4. Collaboration: Foster partnerships that can lead to improved efficiency and profitability for everyone involved. (Within my first hour at the last summit in Kansas City, I engaged with a customer that is giving me enough business to pay for the next 20 Summits) 5. Industry Insights: Gain valuable insights into market dynamics, regulatory updates, and future outlooks. Join us to drive positive change and elevate the freight industry together! Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.” — Henry Ford 🚛💪 #Teamwork #FreightIndustry #BrokerCarrierSummit #Collaboration #Innovation #TogetherWeCan #FortWorth2024 Dan Lindsey Robert Bain Dawn Salvucci-Favier Trey Griggs

Last month, we had the pleasure of attending the Reverse Logistics Association (RLA) 20th annual Conference and Expo in Las Vegas. After taking time to reflect, we wanted to share some key takeaways from our co-founders, Sean Miles and Paul Logsdon 1. The Power of In-Person Connection: While travel in your 20s might be easier, there's something truly special about reconnecting with industry colleagues face-to-face after the COVID hiatus. 2. A Wealth of Knowledge to Unpack: From insightful compliance sessions to thought-provoking discussions on sustainability and customer value, the RLA conference offered a treasure trove of learning opportunities. 3. A Goldmine of Feedback and Inspiration: Networking wasn't just about exchanging business cards; it was about gathering valuable feedback on our work with RGX and gleaning ideas for improvement.  We'd love to hear your thoughts! Thank you to the RLA for organizing such a successful event. We look forward to seeing you again next year! #RLA #RLAvegas2024 #reverselogistics #supplychain #recycling
