🚨 Exciting Announcement! 🚨 I am thrilled to share that Mr. Kenneth Riddle, the Director of Registration for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), has accepted my invitation to attend the Broker Carrier Summit in Ft Worth in October! At the summit, Ken will provide invaluable insights into the FMCSA’s past actions, current initiatives, and their future roadmap. This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the top of the Registration Division about what’s happening at the Agency. Following his presentation, I will be moderating a Q&A session where motor carriers, freight brokers, and other industry stakeholders can engage directly with Ken with questions that affect their business. Why is this important? Historically, the FMCSA has attended events tailored to specific audiences—OOIDA and MATS for drivers, owner-operators, and carriers; TIA for brokers. The Broker Carrier Summit breaks this mold by ensuring that all attendees, whether broker or carrier, receive the same crucial information in an unbiased environment This is your chance to gain a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory landscape that impacts us all. The Broker Carrier Summit is truly the must-attend event of the season for anyone in the freight industry. Don’t miss out on this unparalleled opportunity!

Reflections on the Broker Carrier Summit in Fort Worth: Building ROI in Relationships, Knowledge, and New Opportunities Each time I attend the Broker Carrier Summit, I see a significant return on investment—from growing industry relationships and gaining new customers to deepening my industry knowledge. This past summit took all of that to an even higher level. Back in the daily grind, one thing is clear: the impact of this year’s event. Since 7 am today, I’ve received countless emails, DMs, and calls from companies large and small seeking consulting on freight fraud detection and prevention, as well as requests to set up appointments to integrate FreightValidate ✅ > ❌ into other platforms. Some have even asked if I would consider an employment opportunity, while others inquired about investment opportunities. As a result, my work will be cut out for me over the next several weeks. If you haven’t experienced the Broker Carrier Summit yet, I can’t recommend it enough. I hope that when you attend the April summit in Indianapolis, you’ll be glad to say you’ve attended—and won’t want to miss another Based on the significant growth of Summit after Summit, I HIGHLY recommend Registering Early! It’s where connections, growth, and genuine industry advancement happen. Dan Lindsey Robert Bain Jeff Dickinson Trey Griggs The Logistics Lounge Charles G.

Regardless where you stand in the debate, my only point here is that some really great interactions, discussions, debates, advice, & overall information was had/given at MATS 2024. Kevin Rutherford I would also like to take this time to remind people that the Broker Carrier Summit is coming up & the sole purpose of that is to help further hash out, discuss, & hopefully solve issues dividing brokers & carriers in todays wacky times.

Enjoyed catching up and talking about F3 with Jacob Tache Didn’t share anything novel here, but wanted to emphasize two core themes that I believe will be major differentiators moving forward. Innovation & Data Driven Strategies Both of those are probably considered buzzwords now given how frequently they’re thrown around, but it couldn’t be any more true within the transportation space from what I have seen. If you’re a capacity service provider you can’t keep doing what you’ve been doing by playing the cycles and you have to leverage data (both internal and external) to effectively and efficiently build out your network. You have to differentiate yourself. That is what will enable the foundation for both true scale and durability across freight market cycles. Let me know your thoughts!
