Podcast appearances and mentions of adam wingfield

In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam Wingfield sits down with Justin Lu, CEO of Truckpedia, to break down one of the most critical moves for small carriers—getting out of the broker dependency cycle and going directly to shippers for freight. Justin knows this game firsthand. He took his family's 3-truck operation and scaled it to 50 trucks by putting in the work, cold calling shippers, and securing direct freight contracts. Now, through Truckpedia, he's helping other small carriers do the same—showing them how to stand out, build credibility, and win direct freight opportunities. We go deep into why small carriers need to stop waiting for freight to come to them, the common mistakes they make when approaching shippers, and how to confidently pitch their services to land steady, high-paying freight.

Today we're peeking through a window onto a conference in its second year and coming up down in Houston, building on a thus-far-four-year journey of one New Jersey-based Rahmel Wattley, host of the 2019-founded Truck N' Hustle podcast. That's right, for this edition of Overdrive Radio, it's host-to-host, as it were. Truck N' Hustle, well-known among entrepreneurs of a variety of stripes all around trucking and transportation, pitches to owner-operators and small fleets in a variety of trucking niches, among other transport pros. Freight Fest, then, is Wattley and company's conference upcoming next month in Houston, building on the success of his podcast in bringing together disparate communities around the business. Among presenters there are anyone from reps at freight-factoring company OTR Capital, a sponsor of the event, and voices many of you will be familiar with from Overdrive Radio, too, like Innovative Logistics Group founder Adam Wingfield, whose tale of his start trucking as an owner-operator and subsequent growth featured on the podcast earlier in the year: https://www.overdriveonline.com/overdrive-radio/podcast/15540815/owneroperators-can-master-worklife-balance-in-trucking Rahmel Wattley hopes Freight Fest is a place where small fleets and owner-operators, specifically, can lay the groundwork for a fundamental goal of many -- growth. Along the way, we'll also hear his own story in trucking, from his first experience getting a CDL in the early part of this century to dispatching for, then managing a small fleet and opening his own businesses aimed at putting CDL drivers in a position to garner longer-term employment with fleets, and more. With all of his endeavors, he's always got growth in his own mind, but also other concerns, too. One trucking media talking to another, the subject came up of Overdrive's 60-plus-year history, reaching way back to times well before your friendly neighborhood Overdrive Radio host's birth. Wattley's, too. For longevity in any business, Wattley noted, the desire for growth is necessarily tempered by greater needs. He hopes Truck N' Hustle is laying a steady, solid foundation such that it, too, will be around come 2079.

With this Overdrive Radio edition for June 16, 2023, points of view on the absolute necessity of respecting the needs for work-life balance for your personal sanity, and for the success of your business. That balance can be particularly elusive for independent owner-operators, as Silver Creek Transportation owner Jason Cowan well knows -- he spent much of his early career in those shoes with just a single truck himself, and in some ways balance might elude those of you who fit that bill more than anyone in trucking. In this edition, we'll walk through a variety of strategies to achieve it, with a goal of healthy success. The podcast features the bulk of a late-May-held webcast presentation and discussion Overdrive hosted with Cowan, our big 2021 Small Fleet Champ winner, and Adam Wingfield, who's head of the Innovative Logistics Group consultancy, also a past independent owner-operator himself: https://www.overdriveonline.com/business/article/15448347/worklife-balance-as-an-owneroperator-you-have-to-build-it Work-life balance isn't all about home time and other personal-life concerns, though -- in part of the Q&A at the end of the webinar, sponsored initially by the Bestpass company for toll-collections management and 2290 tax solutions, among other services, Wingfield responded to a question about how to cope with the stress a down market puts on everyone, with the pressure to run. Direct that stress toward the right spot, he advised. Small fleet owner Cowan, throughout, offers plenty perspective on ways to build business with driver employees and owner-operator contractors in mind. He invoked the difficulties so many have attracting younger folks willing to stay in trucking as drivers. All trucking companies – from those who pay the most to those who pay the least, seem to need drivers 24/7/365. “Maybe this isn't all about the money,” he said. While getting drivers home more often and/or on regular timetables is part of his mission as Silver Creek Transportation owner, that's certainly not all there is to it.

A natural inclination for frugality is a winning quality for most anybody in the world today, and no doubt for an owner-operator. That's one of the central qualities Jay Hosty, our Trucker of the Month for April, put dead center of his now 41-year-long history of success as an owner-operator in trucking. As Overdrive News Editor Matt Cole wrote in our profile of owner-operator Hosty last week, he got his start in trucking as an owner pulling containers around New Orleans, Louisiana, at the young age of 19 in 1981: https://www.overdriveonline.com/trucker-of-the-year/article/15383689/frugality-focus-on-costs-pays-off-for-owneroperator-jay-hosty Frugality's certainly served him well during the last year and a half's rising costs, yet it only goes so far after a couple of years' worth of getting used to $4/mile freight. The squeeze is on, coming from both sides of the profit equation. "it's hard to come back to the reality of $2/mile freight," Hosty said, and thus far in 2023 he's a bit behind in net income where he was this time last year. In part, it's the luxury of being freight-choosy at work there. He's spent more time sitting at the house in Diamondhead, Mississippi, this year, waiting on profitable loads from one of couple of nearby Landstar agents he works with regularly to take him outbound. Hosty's been leased to Landstar now for most of the last two decades, pulling today in a 2006 Western Star that replaced a 2000 model, after the truck was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina, when he and wife, Katt, were living in Gulfport, Mississippi. They lost their house there, too, with the direct hit, and the comeback from that disaster is made all the more remarkable by the family the Hostys have fostered throughout their entire four decades together. We'll hear much more about that in today's edition, likewise a 2022 Western Star daycab Hosty's been sitting on for a year with plans to outfit the rig with a custom sleeper built to his needs, as he'd done with the 2000 that Katrina sent to the graveyard. That frugal nature he mentioned has kept him from moving forward with it to date, given pricing he's gotten from some of the big sleeper manufacturers. For the builders in the audience, he put out a call, too: "If there's anybody out there who can point me in a good direction of getting a custom sleeper built" without sacrificing an '"arm and a leg" on the build, as it were, he said. "I'm looking to find somebody." Hosty's Trucker of the Month designation puts him in the running or Overdrive's 2023 Trucker of the Year award.

FMCSA is targeting dispatch companies as it has issued guidance recently attempting to define when a dispatch company must have broker authority. If this guidance is finalized, dispatch companies that violate the law, could face civil penalties (if someone wanted to file suit) of up to $10,000. Learn more about the FMCSA's proposed definition of a Dispatch Company in this week's MadGaines episode with transportation lawyer Cassandra Gaines and industry expert Adam Wingfield. Discover an easier way of doing business with the J.B.

In this episode, I'm talking with Adam Wingfield. This episode is all about building systems, process, and handling compliance issues with small carriers in the trucking industry. If you don't know much about the trucking industry, you will learn their business model, their greatest challenges, and you'll get to see some interesting tips about efficiency that you can apply really to any industry. Adam's a member of our Process People community. He's a Trainual certified consultant based out in Charlotte, North Carolina, and he's been in the trucking industry for 22 years. He's the founder and managing director of Innovative Logistics Group, which is a trucking consulting and carrier services firm. He also co-founded a company called InnoPortal, a trucking dispatch system, which in just the last two years has done over $80 million in transactions. So, Adam knows his stuff. What I liked about this episode, is just really digging into a different industry that maybe you're not so aware of. He talks about the success rate and the failure rate of how many businesses are getting started in this industry. And we go all the way into these autonomous vehicles and some of the future changes that will impact this industry in the future. So as you listen to this, I want you to think about your industry and how these nuggets can apply to what you are doing.
