I have an opinion piece in Transport Topics this month - it discusses what TL carriers need to know about how shippers look at transportation procurement. Specifically, I address the importance of monitoring the Spot Premium Ratio and the New Rate Differential in the markets. Enjoy the short read! #TL #transportation #procurement #spotpremiumratio #newratedifferential https://lnkd.in/esxiuvdP

Russ Thorne, CPIM, CSCP said it best! I quote: "It is easy to get caught up in the bells and whistles of big systems, but these are only as good as the communication among the respective departments and teams." Looking forward to hearing and learning from Chris Chapman how he improved the communication within the organization. I hope to see you there also! 😊 #logistics #supplychain #communication

SCOR is a framework that enables supply chain professionals to connect the dots between independent-looking yet very dependant supply chain processes and decisions. Cynthia is one of the best guides who can take you through that complex network of supply chain dynamics. Highly recommend to those of my links who are about to start or think about supply chain transformation

The latest Freightvine podcast is out today featuring a conversation with Keith Brandis from Volvo Trucks North America. We talk about the challenges of decarbonizing supply chains - especially freight transportation - and the three pronged approach that Volvo has. I learned a lot - take a listen! As always, I end the podcast with a truckload market update using the most recent data collected from the >$100B in annual transportation transactions that we analyze at DAT Freight & Analytics. #truckload #decarbonization #trucking #sustainability

Hey LinkedIn Community, For those of you that continue to be curious about innovative technologies that provide real-time visibility in supply chains, logistics, and transportation, I’m excited to share that the most recent episode of the Beyond Visibility Lounge Podcast is live (link in comments). Recently, Richie Daigle, the Enterprise Account Executive at Tive Inc, joined the podcast to share his insights on the transformative power of visibility technologies in the logistics industry.  In-transit real-time visibility: 🛳 can save shipments during transportation, and as such millions of dollars,  ⏲ allows its users to address problems in the moment and save shipments, 🤝 can inform collaboration with other solution providers to enhance capabilities Specifically, Richie highlighted: "What we're finding is that our customers, after using Tive for a year, have this really rich data set. And you look at all the aggregated data from all the trackers that they've had on their shipments through the course of the year. And now you can start analyzing that data to figure out trends. And this is more of a strategic use case for IoT devices that I think a lot of companies are just now starting to have an aha moment, especially with AI coming, becoming a bigger thing, machine learning, becoming a bigger thing." There are more valuable insights about real-time in-transit visibility. Tune in to listen to this insightful episode and discover how real-time visibility is revolutionizing the logistics and supply chain industry. You can follow Beyond Visibility Lounge on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube to stay tuned about upcoming episodes and equally insightful conversations! #BeyondVisibilityLounge #SupplyChainInnovation #RealTimeVisibility P.S.
