In the last episode of this week, we've got Cody Koehler returning to the show to explain the impact of DOT Blitz Week on freight brokers and customers, and some trends in the market that you should know!   Here's What to Learn From This Episode: DOT Blitz Week Impact: Significant capacity crunches & rate spikes noted; brokers can leverage this time to solidify customer relations, even at a loss. Proactive carrier sourcing essential; reactive strategies expose operational gaps. Insights indicate future market volatility trends.

Key differentiators: tender acceptance & customer communication. Short-term losses viewed as long-term investments for relationship growth. Market Trends & Data Interpretation: Identify market shifts by tracking rate/capacity changes post-major events. Observations indicate weak fresh produce demand; diversification into dry, frozen, and dairy/deli sectors recommended. Notable muted demand in flatbed/open deck freight tied to construction commodities. Sales Strategy & Prospect Engagement: Consistency in prospecting, such as 50 cold calls/day, remains crucial despite high rejection rates. Establishing relationships early positions brokers for future opportunities. Increased cold call receptiveness observed; onboarding paperwork should be completed proactively. Final Recommendations: Proactively set up shippers with necessary documentation, even without immediate loads. Relationship building and preparedness against market shifts crucial for future success.

Most freight tech stacks are a tangled mess of tools that don't talk to each other. Ezequiel Peralta, VP of Technology at SPI Logistics, is working to fix that. This episode strips away the hype and digs into what it really takes to build functional, secure, and scalable freight systems. Peralta shares how SPI is moving beyond the TMS-first mindset by introducing a flexible integration layer, leveraging AI to reduce email chaos, and automating back-office tasks without sidelining the people who matter most. Freight leaders looking to create tech that works for humans, not the other way around, will get a lot out of this one.Key Takeaways: Freight tech success depends on modeling your business process before adopting any tool. SPI Logistics is moving beyond the TMS as the tech stack centerpiece with a dedicated integration layer. AI tools are only valuable when paired with structured data and business-aligned goals. Automation is transforming back-office operations, reducing manual tasks for better auditing and analysis. Everyone—not just IT—must be involved in managing freight fraud and data security.LINKS:Eze's LinkedInSPI Freight Agent ProgramSPI on CargoRexWATCH THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback?

Our guest on this week's episode is Keith Peterson, director of operations at The National Motor Freight Traffic Association. For many years, less-than-truckload motor freight has been classified by a complex and rather outdated system. That is about to change – starting in July the industry will begin listing freight commodities in a system that is more condensed and modernized. But, what will this new freight classification system mean for both carriers and shippers? Our guest explains.Many companies have been stockpiling extra inventory ahead of the implementation of new tariffs, but a new report this week shows that there can be possible downsides to that strategy. We share what they are and who is affected.Despite the economic uncertainty, a new report from DHL Express shows that small and mid-sized companies seem to be beating the odds. DHL Express surveyed more than 400 customers—all small or mid-sized businesses in the United States—and found that despite the prevailing economic turmoil, most are confident in their business outlook.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Barges move over 70 percent of U.S. grain and can carry the equivalent of 4,000 truckloads with a single tugboat. Yet this massive freight channel has remained invisible to most supply chains due to outdated systems and zero visibility. In this episode, OpenTug CEO Jason Aristides shares how his team is digitizing barge and tug operations with GPS tracking, AI-powered automation, and a modern marketplace experience. By unlocking real-time visibility and booking capabilities, OpenTug is helping shippers tap into a cleaner and more efficient way to move freight across America's 12,000 miles of inland waterways. Key takeaways: Barges are one of the most fuel-efficient and underused freight modes in North America A single barge move can replace thousands of truckloads with a fraction of the labor OpenTug brings real-time GPS and predictive ETAs to an industry that ran on email chains Ports like New Orleans are investing heavily in container barge terminals More visibility and automation will help eliminate empty miles and reduce emissionsLINKS:Jason's LinkedInOpenTug's LinkedInOpenTug on CargoRexWATCH THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback?
