Understanding what your drivers are experiencing and how they feel about their jobs is critical to keeping them happy. Happy drivers tend to stay put. This episode is about the importance of opening up communication channels with your drivers – and keeping them open. This episode of HDT Talks Trucking is sponsored by Double Coin. Automated dispatch systems may be more efficient than direct two-way conversations, but they make the transaction impersonal. A few lines of text on a screen offer few clues about how the other party is feeling. The driver might be happy today, but ready to head for the door tomorrow. How will you ever know if you never actually talk to them?  In this episode, Max Farrell, the CEO of Workhound, joins HDT's Jim Park to discuss the importance of communication and keeping channels open to employees, including: Creating a Real-Time Feedback Loop Between Workers and the Company Why Praise is Critical Opening Up Communication Channels Identifying Micro Issues for Macro Changes Driver Feedback and Troublesome Customers Why Resolving Issues Pays Dividends Honest Feedback: Gift or Insult? Why Two-Way Autonomous Chats Work Learn more about driver communication at HDT's Truckinginfo.com website: 3 Ways Fleets Can Improve Driver Communications How Cowan is More Efficiently Connecting Truck Drivers and Dispatchers How Fleets Can Benefit From Mobile Apps More from Workhound Why Driver Feedback is the Key to Driver Retention 2023: Annual Trends Report

Our guest on this week's episode is Max Farrell, cofounder and CEO of WorkHound. 2023 has not been so rosy for trucking. Volumes are down, and the capacity built up during the pandemic is more than what is needed currently. What is causing the current problems for trucking and what might conditions be like for truckers during the second half of the year? Our guest shares some insights from research his company conducted on how truck drivers view their jobs and what concerns them most.Several labor agreements were reached this past week with our nation's railroads. Rail workers were primarily looking for better working conditions in these agreements. We discuss what was accomplished and what it will mean to have labor peace on the rails.Continued high inflation, interest rate increases, and a general slowing of the economy are affecting businesses and consumers alike as 2023 marches on. These sentiments were echoed in an industry report released this spring that showed new trends in consumer buying habits. We share what is happening with these “conflicted consumers.”DC Velocity's sister publication CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly  offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.  Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe.Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:WorkHoundUnion Pacific agrees to provide more predictable schedules for union rail workersAsendia Report: How to sell direct in the age of the conflicted shopperVisit DCVelocity.com for the latest news. Visit Supply Chain QuarterlyListen to CSCMP and Supply Chain Quarterly's Supply Chain in the Fast Lane podcastListen to Supply Chain Quarterly's Top 10 Supply Chain Threats podcastSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@dcvelocity.com.Podcast is sponsored by: Rite-HiteOther linksAbout DC VELOCITYSubscribe to DC VELOCITYSign up for our FREE newslettersAdvertise with DC VELOCITYTop 10 Supply Chain Management Podcasts

In this week's interview on The Mixtape with Scott, I had the opportunity to meet with the James Orin Murfin Professor of Political Science at Princeton University, Dr. Rocío Titiunik. Within the world of applied econometric methodology, Dr. Titiunik is well known for her theoretical work on regression discontinuity design. Her work with coauthors like Sebastian Calonico, Matias Cattaneo, and Max Farrell has shaped the landscape of applied econometrics through their innovative work in econometrics as well as their construction of numerous software packages in R, Stata and now python of practical utility. But she is a dual threat quarterback who is both an important contemporary quantitative methodologist as well as an influential political scientist whose applied work explores the intersection of political institutions and causal inference. That work has been instrumental in expanding our understanding of political participation, legislative behavior, and the intricacies of elections and representation.However, there's more to Rocío than the accolades on her resume. Beneath the scholarly achievements and methodological innovations is the story of a journey that will, I think, surprise many listeners. We often look at accomplished people and just assume that all the pieces fell into place for them from the moment they stepped foot into academia. But Rocío tells a different story about her path. She talks openly about her first introduction to economics occurring, not through statistics and econometrics, but theory and literature. Her entrance into Berkeley's celebrated ag Econ PhD program happened almost serendipitously. And even while there, she was unsure how all the different parts of her personality might form within her — or if they ever would. During our conversation, she opened up about the struggles, uncertainties, and the feeling of being lost in the vast tapestry of the economics profession. Her openness and authenticity were refreshing and the interview provided a stark reminder that even the most successful among us grapple with similar doubts and fears, just like the rest of us.This conversation offers more than just an overview of Rocio's professional accomplishments. It paints a portrait of a person who, despite her status in academia, remains grounded and relatable. Her story is one of perseverance and self-discovery that will resonate with anyone who has ever questioned their path or grappled with finding their unique fit in their chosen field.Join me in this week's episode as we journey through Rocio's life, her work, and the lessons she's gleaned along the way. As much as it is an exploration of her contributions to political methodology, it is also a celebration of the human experience in all its complexity. And if you want to learn more from Dr. Titiunik's work, you can come to her upcoming workshop at Mixtape Sessions where for three days she will be teaching about regression discontinuity design.

We've been talking a lot about Truck Driver Appreciation but what we haven't been talking about is the importance of a feedback loop from your actual drivers. We typically do feedback surveys for customers and leads. But most companies as a whole don't do it for their internal employees--driver or not. So if you haven't started up your own feedback loop process, it's a good time to start--or at least budget for it in the future so you can know those happiness and frustration points of the job year-round.Helping us get that started is co-founder and CEO of Workhound, Max Farrell; who joins this week's episode to break it all down.Show Links: Workhound's resources and case studiesConnect with Max Farrell on LinkedinConnect with Blythe via her website or on Linkedin, YouTube, and TikTok

What can you do to weather the current storm?  “There aren't best practices about how to connect with drivers you had to lay off in the middle of the pandemic. And so you have to try new things right now and experiment and innovate on the fly, because there's no manual for this.” In this insightful episode, Chad and Max share lots of easily implementable tips to help carriers continue to grow despite the recession: from knowing what KPIs carriers should be measuring, to how to engage with drivers during a pandemic, and building a driver alumni network.  What you’ll learn about in this episode: The issue of measuring vanity metrics The metrics that show the retention of quality drivers Understanding turnover to reduce it Recruitment tactics to engage in a down market Soft layoffs and building an alumni program Pay for retention, not just recruitment How to connect with [Max Farrell]: LinkedIn - Max Farrell Twitter - @MaxOnTheTrack

We can either operate in fear and let the fear take us and not do anything productive, or we can just say, ‘how do we come out of this a better version of ourselves?’ I prefer the latter.” What you’ll learn about in this episode: How WorkHound can help your business Leadership in trucking Early denial around Covid-19 Hazard pay Trucking is the backbone of the American economy How to onboard remotely Planning for future recruitment How to connect with Max Farrell: www.workhound.com max@workhound.com Driver feedback report on COVID-19

This episode of the podcast Business & Technology in Tennessee explores the value of feedback in the workplace with Max Farrell, CEO of WorkHound. Especially in the case of distributed workforces, company leadership faces a difficult challenge in keeping the pulse of their employees. In many cases, the issues that employees are facing on a daily basis — and even the issues that ultimately lead them to resign — could be resolved if managers were simply made aware. WorkHound seeks to solve the costly issue of employee turnover with a simple texting-based technology solution that allows for employees to submit anonymous feedback in real-time. Listen to the full episode to find out how WorkHound is using its platform to help companies build stronger relationships with their employees and become more desirable places to work.

Father writes letter to his son June 7, 1944 who is on a Coast Guard Ship in the South Pacific. The letter explains that the sons friend is standing right next to the Corespondent who is making the broadcast from the flagship that he is listening to. Dear Son, An NBC reporter was broadcasting from the U.S.S. Augusta, the flagship of the invasion fleet, describing the goings on immediately prior to the opening of the shelling of the beaches by the "heavies" and giving a blow by blow description of the first salvos from the Augusta. You could actually hear the sharp boom of the Augusta's guns and the commentator described the action of the two battleships one off the port quarter and one off the starboard who had been firing their big guns for several minutes before the Augusta came in range. As you know, Max Farrell is the Communications Officer on this ship and in all probability was standing right along side when the correspondent was broadcasting. This certainly brought the whole situation right home to roost. Well, the chips are down and we will now have to hang onto our hats until we see just what transpires. Everything seems ok up to and through the second day, but it will be a week before we really know much about the success of our operations. Of course we are all tremendously excited and I am afraid I didn't get much work done yesterday. I had the radio on almost continuously and there was just one stream of reports coming in from various sources; some eye-witness accounts of correspondents who flew over the first wave of parachute troops, and also some first hand accounts of the navel action as seen from the motor torpedo boats that went over to cover the tremendous fleet of mine sweepers. It is very difficult for me to really comprehend the enormous magnitude of this operation or to put together any coherent story from the welter of reports that have been coming in. The main thing is that the high command seems satisfied with the operations up to the present time in spite of the fact that the weather let them down. It has apparently been pretty rough going in the channel and the northwest wind which has prevailed piled up considerable surf on the beaches. We have yet to find out just what effect this has had on the were overcome. Now the big chore is to get the heavy stuff ashore in time to meet the counter thrust that will certainly come within the next to or three days. More in a day or two ...

Max Farrell is the CEO of WorkHound. His mission is to help people love the work they do, and he lives this every day at WorkHound. WorkHound is a fast-action driver relations and retention platform for trucking companies. Knowing the 95% annual driver turnover rate in trucking, they set out to dig to the root of the issue. Drivers continue to leave companies because they don’t feel respected, they don’t feel like they’re part of a team, and they don’t feel like they have a voice. WorkHound gives drivers a voice to share feedback anywhere, anytime. Through their mobile platform, drivers are always anonymous until they choose to reveal who they are. This way drivers don't have to fear retaliation. Their platform updates carriers throughout the day on the urgent issues and trends affecting their fleet.
