Is there really vigorous competition in ocean freight?

On today’s episode Dooner and The Dude are talking to certified big ship hater and FreightWaves Editorial Director Rachael Premack. Premack talks about how we all paid for the shipping giants’ $150 billion windfall. We’ll also take a look at what impact a massive drop in imports will have on ports and why The Wall Street Journal called Target’s retail outlook “a bloodbath.” 

The guys are back from USA Truck and America’s Trucker charity golf tournament. They’ve got a video from their trip where they captured the sights and sounds of the event. 

C3 Solutions CRO Greg Braun is passionate about using tech to reduce wait times. He’ll tell us what receivers can learn from the hotel industry and about expediting check-ins.

Andrew Teal, Advanced Cargo’s director of strategic operations, shares his view of the market. Teal works with companies to customize shipping solutions. We’ll learn how demand shifts are changing shippers’ needs.

Former Amazon consumer chief Dave Clark joins Flexport as co-CEO. Current CEO Ryan Petersen will transition to an executive chairman role next year. 

Back The Truck Up’s Rooster and Super Trucker talk about fixing up your cab; why Florida and FedEx don’t mix; whether support services for truckers are vanishing; and fuel, rates and much more.
