Joe Lynch and Chris Pickett discuss what's next for the freight market. Chris is the Chief Operating Officer at Flock Freight, a technology company that is on a mission to solve the US trucking industry's wasted capacity problem. Chris is also the Lead Market Analyst at Pickett Research, LLC – an independent market research firm focused exclusively on the dynamics that drive US truckload freight rates. About Chris Pickett Chris Pickett is the Chief Operating Officer at Flock Freight, a technology company that is on a mission to solve the US trucking industry's wasted capacity problem. Its patented technology finds and fills underutilized trailer space so Shippers can save, Carriers can earn more, and goods can move terminal-free faster and more efficiently. Think faster than traditional LTL and with less damage and cheaper than underutilized FTL – while emitting 20-40% less carbon than the alternative. In addition to his role at Flock, Chris is also the Lead Market Analyst at Pickett Research, LLC – an independent market research firm focused exclusively on the dynamics that drive US truckload freight rates. Prior to Flock, he played key leadership roles (including Chief Strategy Officer from 2010-2020) at Coyote Logistics - a UPS Company, a leading provider of non-asset based 3PL solutions across North America and Europe. Chris' passion for understanding US Truckload Freight Market dynamics and predicting the direction of spot and contract rates stems from his work at Coyote over this period where long-term contract commitments were often made based on an expected long-term cost of capacity in the spot market. It has since become a borderline obsession, where his fascination in these market phenomena continues to drive the evolution of the market cycle framework and the predictive value it delivers. Before joining Coyote in 2006, Chris spent his early career in supply chain software development and network design – and studied at as many Eastern US tech schools as he could: earning a B.S. in Industrial & Systems Engineering from Virginia Tech, an M.Eng. in Logistics from MIT, and an MBA from Georgia Tech.

Oren Zaslansky and Joe Lynch discuss the Flock Freight story. Oren is the Founder and CEO of Flock Freight, a Certified B Corporation that's been reinventing freight shipping since 2015. [podcast src="https://play.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/26478612/height/192/theme/modern/size/large/thumbnail/yes/custom-color/4c4ca4/time-start/00:00:00/playlist-height/200/direction/backward/download/yes" height="192" width="100%" scrolling="no" class="podcast-class" frameborder="0" placement="top" use_download_link="" download_link_text="" primary_content_url="https://chtbl.com/track/53D5B3/traffic.libsyn.com/thelolpodcast/TheBiggestRiskFacingTruckDrivers_mixdown.mp3" theme="custom" custom_color="4C4CA4" libsyn_item_id="26478612" /] About Oren Zaslansky Raised by parents who worked for a van line and later started their own freight forwarders, Oren has deep-seated roots in logistics and entrepreneurship. At 21, he founded a 125-truck fleet that provided white-glove freight service throughout the U.S. and Canada. His subsequent venture, SolSource Logistics, continues to operate today, with Oren serving as chairman. SolSource Logistics opened Oren's eyes to how wasteful traditional freight shipping is. He became determined to find a new approach by building a technology-driven solution. Flock Freight (formerly AuptiX) opened its doors in 2015, driven by Oren's vision of using technology to combine multiple shipments into one multi-stop shared truckload. Under Oren's leadership, Flock Freight continu es to rapidly grow while creating a new standard of service for shippers, increasing revenue for carriers, and eliminating the impact of carbon emissions through the patented shared truckload solution, FlockDirect™. About Flock Freight Flock Freight is a Certified B Corporation that's been reinventing freight shipping since 2015. Flock Freight leverages its advanced, first-to-market algorithms that pool shipments and fill trucks at scale to create a new standard of service for shippers and increase revenue for carriers. Flock Freight's shared truckload solution eliminates the need for terminals and is the only carbon-neutral shipping option with all emissions accounted for through carbon offsets supporting freight-related efficiency projects. Flock Freight is headquartered in Encinitas, CA with an additional office in Chicago, IL. Key Takeaways: The Flock Freight Story Oren Zaslansky is the Founder and CEO of Flock Freight, where he and his team are driving industry change and powering shared truckload service with top-tier talent and advanced algorithms. In the podcast interview, Oren shares his entrepreneurial story and the founding of Flock Freight. Flock Freight provides an alternative to less-than-truckload shipping, which has traditionally been expensive, slow, and more likely to damage freight compared to truckload shipping. Shippers and 3PLs have always converted some number of LTL shipments to multi-stop or shared truckload shipments, but the approach was scattershot and process was very manual. As investments in freight tech grew, the number of multi-stop shipments increased, however there were no purpose built tech or companies dedicated to multi-stop truckload shipments until Flock Freight. For Shippers: Flock Freight moves shipper freight via shared truckload, combining it with other freight into one multi-stop truckload. Flock Freight gives midsize freight shippers an efficient, cost-effective way to move their goods. For Carriers: Flock Freight helps carriers maximize their revenue by booking high-paying shared truckloads online in seconds. Carriers earn higher profits for the same amount of work by combining multiple shipments moving in the same direction to minimize half-empty trucks and deadhead miles. Most trucks are moving with trailers that are only partially full – Flock Freight can help them earn more revenue by filling up their truck with good paying freight. For the Environment: Flock Freight shipments move via shared truckload, skipping the inefficient LTL hub and spoke system and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40%. Flock takes the remaining 60% and offset it by supporting projects with Carbonfund.org, making Flock Freight the only carbon neutral shipping option available to shippers at no extra cost. Flock Freight is a B Corp, which means they meet the highest standards of verified levels of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

Paul and new co-host Bob Kruz are back with a new episode tackling some of the biggest topics in the business right now from PPP Loan misuse to double brokers.This episode covers some top questions from followers on what makes a good brokerage, what new owner-operators need to know about insurance, and how to navigate the complexities of both the broker and carrier worlds.Here's a brief rundown of the biggest topics in the conversation.Who's got it worse: Owner-Operators or Brokers?Bob: At the peak, [an owner-operator] was making like ten grand a week…like eight grand clean. Yet, now things are definitely in a slump. Right now, owner-operators are making as much as a company driver. It's better to be a company driver, you're going to make almost the same amount, and you're not worried about nothing. Smaller companies are taking the biggest hit right now, to be honest.Paul: Dude, being a broker is nice and easy. All you have to do is just have a laptop and a customer. The nice thing is you don't have the overhead that you do with a truck, right? It's all like digital. And obviously, you have to have sales skills, but you don't have to have a truck, and a driver, you know?Bob: Still, man, you gotta go get this load, find this customer or shipper. Then you have to find a carrier–a good carrier because you can get screwed with a bad carrier. We were talking about how [brokers] have these telegram chats with their dedicated carriers on there. So they don't have to worry about them screwing you over, so you would rather post the load on telegram first and then post it on DAT. So I realized why all the brokers have their own load boards now.Are Double Brokers Friend or Foe?Bob: I get all these comments from people saying, “Double brokers aren't that bad. We actually do most of the work.” I understand that, right? Because they're just taking it from these bigger brokerages, making fifty-one hundred bucks on it, then they're just double brokering it to somebody else. I don't want to say double brokering is okay…but I feel like it's better if they pay the carrier and everything is okay.What makes a good brokerage?Bob: It really depends if you have a good rep in the brokerage. Once you have a good rep in the brokerage, everything changes. That's what happened with us and Arrive. We had a really bad rep at first, and I posted something to Instagram… Shout out to Dave. He kept hitting me up, so we started working with him, and he's been great so far. So, yeah, I think it really depends if you have a good rep in that brokerage, then you'll be good. If you don't have anybody, then you'll think the whole brokerage sucks.Paul: Especially with the big companies, it's really dependent on who you're dealing with. Honestly, it's the same thing with TQL.Bob: [Favorite brokerages to work with] are C.H., Arrive. Coyote used to be really good, and XPO used to be really good. Flock Freight used to be really good before they implemented this new [inspections] thing.Be sure to tune in to the FreightCaviar Podcast to hear the full conversation on Spotify or Youtube.

What do Ryan Reynolds, Blues Clues, and Sustainable Shipping have in common- well, not much until 2022, when Maximum Effort and Flock Freight launched a tongue-in-cheek ad campaign to talk about what they are doing- and using our old friend Steve Burns from Blues Clues to do it. So, pull up your thinking chair, and grab your handy dandy notebook, cause we are talking with Bob Wolfley, Director of Social Media and Partnerships at Flock about how this campaign came about! Founded in 2015, Flock Freight roared onto the tech startup scene in 2021 winning Start Up San Diego's Startup of the Year award, CNBC's top 50 disruptors award, and a host of supply chain awards. Headquartered in Encinitas, Flock Freight is looking for brand awareness and a way to improve the freight industry- their software pools freight in the most efficient way possible, helping carriers keep their trucks full. They reimagine existing freight processes by relentlessly eliminating inefficiency and waste through shared truckload shipping. But shipping isn't flashy or sexy- so how do you build brand awareness? Alan and Sara sit down for a lively conversation about building brand awareness, working with Ryan Reynolds's marketing company, and how the campaign has been received despite its racy vocabulary.

Flock Freight leverages its advanced, first-to-market algorithms that pool shipments and fill trucks at scale to create a new standard of service for shippers and increase revenue for carriers. Flock Freight's shared truckload solution eliminates the need for terminals and is the only carbon-neutral shipping option with all emissions accounted for through carbon offsets supporting freight-related efficiency projects. Flock Freight is headquartered in Encinitas, CA with an additional office in Chicago, IL. Key Takeaways: More VUCA Ahead Oren Zaslansky is the Founder and CEO of Flock Freight, where he and his team are driving industry change and powering shared truckload service with top-tier talent and advanced algorithms. In the podcast interview, Oren and Joe discuss more VUCA ahead. VUCA stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. The more VUCA ahead refers to continued supply chain disruptions caused by: Diesel fuel shortages Potential railroad strike Potential strike or labor slowdown for West coast ports Holiday season Uncertain economic conditions - recession Issues with China supply chain Ukraine/Russia supply chain problem (grain, fuel, etc..) Flock Freight provides an alternative to less-than-truckload shipping, which has traditionally been expensive, slow, and more likely to damage freight compared to truckload shipping. Shippers and 3PLs have always converted some number of LTL shipments to multi-stop or shared truckload shipments, but the approach was scattershot, and process was very manual. As investments in freight tech grew, the number of multi-stop shipments increased, however there were no purpose-built tech or companies dedicated to multi-stop truckload shipments until Flock Freight. For Shippers: Flock Freight moves shipper freight via shared truckload, combining it with other freight into one multi-stop truckload. Flock Freight gives midsize freight shippers an efficient, cost-effective way to move their goods. For Carriers: Flock Freight helps carriers maximize their revenue by booking high-paying shared truckloads online in seconds. Carriers earn higher profits for the same amount of work by combining multiple shipments moving in the same direction to minimize half-empty trucks and deadhead miles. Most trucks are moving with trailers that are only partially full – Flock Freight can help them earn more revenue by filling up their truck with good paying freight. For the Environment: Flock Freight shipments move via shared truckload, skipping the inefficient LTL hub and spoke system and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40%. Flock takes the remaining 60% and offset it by supporting projects with Carbonfund.org, making Flock Freight the only carbon neutral shipping option available to shippers at no extra cost. Flock Freight is a B Corp, which means they meet the highest standards of verified levels of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

Pat Dillon, Chief Financial Officer, Flock Freight joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy Podcast to discuss the current economic outlook and Flock's carpooling for freight model that unlocks value for shippers and carriers. The conversation begins with Pat sharing his insight on how as CFO, he is preparing Flock Freight for a potential recession in the United States which is currently being forecasted at 50% according to the Bloomberg United States Recession Probability Forecast. We are certainly cognizant of the broader macro environment and how that impacts our business. It certainly means that as consumer behavior changes or industrial production, the demand for freight transportation has an impact on that, so that certainly translates into our business. – Pat DillonWhile Flock Freight is still a growth company, the company is taking prudent measures to be prepared for the scenario that the United States economy falls into a recession. One of the company's economic advantages is that they operate an asset-light shared truckload platform that enables cost savings for their customers. Shared truckload would mean that we can take a 20 ft shipment from Customer A and a 25 ft shipment from Customer B and pool those together into a single truckload, so it never has to go on a hub and go through a warehouse. And you are getting point-to-point transportation. It's essentially carpooling for freight. – Pat DillonShipping using shared truckloads can reduce carbon emissions up to 40% due to higher utilization through fewer driven miles. As an important metric as this is, truck tonnage in the United States increased 7.4% in August 2022, year-over-year. The growth can be partially attributed to the catch-up effect as the global supply chain has begun to normalize. While the global supply chain has normalized today, the freight market will continue to fluctuate with the driver shortage and a potential slowdown in consumer spending. Creating opportunities for Flock that CNBC has taken notice as the company has climbed from #42 on the CNBC Disruptor 50 list in 2021 to #14 in 2022. With a potential recession on the horizon, Pat discusses what impact consolidation in the truck freight market will have on Flock Freight. Unlike a lot of other markets that might already be pretty consolidated, were further consolidation has signifiant pressure on margins, this is not that type of market. It's hyper fragmented and we do not see it having much of a day-to-day impact from that perspective on Flock Freight. – Pat DillonFrom a technology perspective, autonomous trucks are preparing to scale and the timing could not be better as there is a growing demand for freight and a growing driver shortage. Like a lot of things, there are big problems throughout the truck freight world and big problems are big opportunities. That's how you create new capacity when you are constrained on the number of drivers. – Pat DillonAutonomous trucks will compliment Flock Freight as they be able to provide autonomous shared truckload capacity. As new technologies come online such as hydrogen fuel-cell and electric heavy-duty trucks, Flock will look at ways to potential integrate those technologies into their platform.Wrapping up the conversation, Pat shares his thoughts on the future of freight.If you are a player in freight you will need to be able to have a more diversified approach in terms of the offerings you give to your customers. – Pat DillonFollow The Road To Autonomy on Apple PodcastsFollow The Road To Autonomy on LinkedInFollow The Road To Autonomy on TwitterRecorded on Friday, September 30, 2022See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Featuring FP&A insights and commentary from CFO Claire Bramley of Teradata,  CFO Sandra Rowland of Xylem, CFO Anna King of Mesh Payments and CFO Pat Dillon of Flock Freight.

Steve and Jack discuss the data tsunami that many organizations are now facing and what steps finance executives can take to replace their historical, backward-looking, "batch mode" thinking with more proactive approaches that will allow finance teams to achieve more predictive outcomes. This episode's distinguished Planning Aces reveal the leadership mindsets and approaches now driving the shift away from batch mode. Featuring FP&A insights and commentary from CFO Claire Bramley of Teradata,  CFO Sandra Rowland of Xylem, CFO Anna King of Mesh Payments and CFO Pat Dillon of Flock Freight.

When Flock Freight CFO Pat Dillon thinks back to his investment banking days at Morgan Stanley and considers the variety of CFOs from whom he once sat across, the banking veteran is struck by how at times the CFOs seem to have had little in common with one another. “What I saw was that their roles could be very different from one to the next,” explains Dillon, who notes that he came to view the CFO position as not one but many roles along a continuum across which that finance leaders migrate as their companies mature. “It wasn't like a split, where this person was an accounting CFO and that person was a strategic CFO, but really more about the mix of responsibilities and where the CFO was allocating their time,” recalls Dillon, who observes that it was during conversations with CFOs that he would seek to make the finance leaders aware of where along the continuum they would need to begin allocating more of their time. Reports Dillon: “It's no longer just about a good technology or about acquiring market share. You have to have predictable results. You have to understand that the role of the CFO and of the finance team is going to change and the requirements are only going to go up.“ Asked whether as a banker he had ever had to coax a finance leader to make finance team staff changes or beef up the company's FP&A team, Dillon remarks: “I think that you have to tread lightly when it comes to making a particular staff recommendation. As an advisor, we have exposure to senior members of the finance team—but not enough to make a judgment regarding operations day to day.” Still, Dillon says, “You make very clear what kind of output and results the finance team is now going to have to produce as the company is evolving. Whereas it used to be just kind of providing information, you now have to hit your results.” Undoubtedly, every banking relationship has its own unique challenges, and certain finance leaders are better listeners than others. Comments Dillon: “The best relationships that I had as an investment banker were where I could talk about that evolution and say, “Hey, I can't tell you how to run your organization, but I can help to preview where you're going to start confronting a higher set of requirements and where you could experience pain points with investors if you don't make certain changes.'” –Jack Sweeney

The Flock Freight Story with Oren Zaslansky Oren Zaslansky and Joe Lynch discuss the Flock Freight story. Oren is the Founder and CEO of Flock Freight, a Certified B Corporation that's been reinventing freight shipping since 2015. About Oren Zaslansky Raised by parents who worked for a van line and later started their own freight forwarders, Oren has deep-seated roots in logistics and entrepreneurship. At 21, he founded a 125-truck fleet that provided white-glove freight service throughout the U.S. and Canada. His subsequent venture, SolSource Logistics, continues to operate today, with Oren serving as chairman. SolSource Logistics opened Oren's eyes to how wasteful traditional freight shipping is. He became determined to find a new approach by building a technology-driven solution. Flock Freight (formerly AuptiX) opened its doors in 2015, driven by Oren's vision of using technology to combine multiple shipments into one multi-stop shared truckload. Under Oren's leadership, Flock Freight continu es to rapidly grow while creating a new standard of service for shippers, increasing revenue for carriers, and eliminating the impact of carbon emissions through the patented shared truckload solution, FlockDirect™.
