Last week, Flockers joined together across seven different departments and processed food for distribution throughout San Diego County with Feeding San Diego🌏 Together, we bagged over 4,000 pounds of potatoes! 🥔 "I had a great time volunteering with Feeding SD!

💡Our latest feature in FreightWaves highlights the key differences between traditional multi-stop solutions and our Shared Truckload service, FlockDirect®. Traditional multi-stop solutions are constrained by a shipper's individual network and often based on stale master data. With Shared Truckload, Flock takes a dynamic approach. By tapping into our entire customer network using our proprietary tech, we significantly increase pooling probability for shippers, generate more efficient routes, and improve truck utilization, ultimately leading to lower rates. The full article below includes a direct comparison between a multi-stop routing solution and Flock's Shared Truckload tech👇 https://lnkd.in/dmPzvPtR

This Wednesday, I had the distinct privilege of hosting Oren Zaslansky, CEO of Flock Freight, as a guest speaker at the University of California, San Diego - Rady School of Management, and I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for sharing his incredible journey and the pioneering work Flock Freight is doing to reshape the trucking logistics industry. Flock Freight is an example of both, sustainability and profitability being possible within a business. Hearing firsthand about the challenges and triumphs in his career gave us a fresh look at what it takes to lead and innovate. We are grateful for his time and guidance, and we are already motivated to apply the lessons he shared. Thank you once again, Mr. Zaslansky, for inspiring and empowering the next generation.
