On today's episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is talking about a massive plunge in outbound tender volumes nationwide. What's causing it? A bad market, the UAW strike or Ozempic? Uber Freight and Waabi are teaming up on autonomous loads with a new 10-year deal. Waabi's Dustin Koehl talks about drivers-as-a-service robotics and how that will factor into digital brokerage services. The Scheduling Standards Consortium announced the achievement of a landmark milestone — the publication of its technical standard for developing scheduling APIs for transportation management systems. Now that it's live, Raj Subbiah at Uber Freight and Chirag Modi at Blue Yonder get us up to speed on how it works. Booking per-load insurance has historically been time-consuming and frustrating for motor carriers and freight brokers, so Reliance Partners and McLeod Software have teamed up to streamline the process. Per-load shipper's interest insurance is now integrated directly with McLeod. Reliance Partners' Mark Vickers tells us everything we need to know. Josh Gonzalez co-founded a freight market in one of the worst markets in history. We'll find out why this Amazon alum is bullish on his new trucking company, TJG Logistics.

In this episode, the Armchair Attorney discusses his journey from defense attorney to the founder of Leffler Technologies, a software company tackling the preventative maintenance of commercial trailers. As the first person outside of Michelin to incubate with the Michelin Innovation Lab, Matthew received a grant to build out the solution. With the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) dropping this month, we could not be more excited! And it could not have come soon enough. According to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, nearly 1 in 5 of all commercial vehicles fail inspection and, as a result, are placed out of service. What's more, the American Transportation Research Institute found that between 2010 and 2018 verdicts against trucking companies have increased by nearly 51.7%. This is an industry-wide problem that we believe our technology will solve. We could not be here without the help of our critical partners including Wintrust, Reliance Partners, Contract Leasing Corporation, Michelin, Accounting & Business Services, Metafora, & Maynard Nexsen.

These strides have notably uplifted the city's freight brokerage and trucking reputation, fueling its economy and drawing talent into the sector.Eichelberger discussed the tough times currently faced by trucking companies due to increased operating and insurance costs, particularly hitting small fleets and new entrants hard. He gave us an inside view of the insurance landscape, drawing attention to the common misconception held by many trucking companies that switching insurers would alleviate their struggles.Chad emphasized that safety measures, driver behavior, and even location greatly influence insurance rates. He provided insights into why states like Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and New York see elevated insurance rates, while others like Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin offer more favorable conditions.Lastly, Chad shared about Reliance Partners' growth, its investment in technology, and the vision for the future. His emphasis on continuous learning, relationship-building, and listening highlighted his advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. Support the show

The CTO Perspective with Mario Paluzzi Mario Paluzzi and Joe Lynch discuss the CTO perspective. Mario is the Chief Technical Officer at Reliance Partners, a commercial insurance agency specializing in risk management solutions for the transportation and logistics space. About Mario Paluzzi Mario Paluzzi is Chief Technology Officer of Reliance Partners, a top ranked commercial insurance agency specializing in Logistics and Transportation. Prior to joining Reliance Partners, Paluzzi established, led, and deployed industry leading technology teams and transformative innovations across high-growth startup environments as well as multi-billion dollar enterprises. Paluzzi spent 10 years at Coyote Logistics overseeing technology product strategy and delivery before joining Logistics Dynamics as Chief Information Officer. He joined Reliance Partners in 2021 and has been leading efforts to drive big data and Insurtech initiatives across the enterprise to deliver a smarter insurance experience. Mario is a graduate of Michigan State University. About Reliance Partners Reliance Partners is one of the nation's fastest-growing commercial insurance agencies specializing in providing risk management solutions for the transportation and logistics space. Reliance Partners has been featured in Inc.com each year from 2016-2020 as one of the fastest growing privately-held companies in the US. The company is certified as a Great Place to Work®. In addition, Inc.com recognized Reliance Partners in 2018-2020 as one of the Top 50 Workplaces while Fortune also recognized Reliance Partners in 2017-2020 as a Top Workplace in America.

Freight-Tech 100 recognizes the most innovative and disciplined companies in freight. Key Takeaways: The CTO Perspective Mario Paluzzi is the Chief Technical Officer at Reliance Partners, a commercial insurance agency specializing in risk management solutions for the transportation and logistics space. In the podcast interview, Mario provides the CTO's perspective on the transportation and logistics space. Below are some of the insights that Mario shared: PwC's recent report from titled “Digital Trends in Supply Chain Survey 2022” suggests that not every company is getting a good ROI on their technology investments. When making technology investments, companies need to avoid the hype of trendy tech (Blockchain, AI, ML, etc.) and fear of missing out (FOMO). Instead focus on the actual business improvements the tech investment will bring to the business. Before making a tech investment, have a clear vision of the project goals and fully understand which key performance indicators will improve. Technology tends to simplify and automate routine or rote functions, which usually frees up people to focus on more complex problems. Mario believes companies need to upskill their employees so they can add more value. There will be less clerk work and more data science work so employees must be trained for their new role. To add more value and become more competitive, knock down the silos and drive further collaboration with partners in technology, insurance, carriers, etc. New partnerships, new data, and new ways of adding value should be the focus of transportation and logistics companies. Mario also suggests partnering with a technology partner who has the expertise and experience required to support your company's digital transformation. Mario works closely with Emtec, a global technology services company providing digital software engineering and transformation solutions to clients in logistics, transportation, and warehousing.
