Our guest on this week's episode is Melanie Nuce-Hilton, senior vice president, innovation and partnerships, at GS1 US. The world has long used barcodes for data tracking and transactions – we see them stamped on nearly every product we buy. However, new standards are being introduced to replace the humble bar code with more sophisticated codes that can contain much more data. We talk about the benefits and use cases for the newer 2D types of barcodes.We've been hearing about the potential for autonomous self-driving trucks for a few years now. The technology could be applied in transportation and could ease driver shortages. There have been a number of pilot programs for testing autonomous vehicles, but we also see some opposition to their adoption over concerns of safety. Today we share some of the latest news concerning these autonomous technologies. Speakers at this year's SMC3 JumpStart conference in Atlanta shared their views that the challenging conditions that have plagued freight markets for the past couple of years will continue in 2024 – but that the volatility will diminish as the year progresses. We share details on what they had to say.CSCMP's 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.  Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:GS1 USRyder and Kodiak open autonomous truck port in HoustonTeamsters and police opposed South Dakota bill allowing autonomous vehiclesSluggish outlook prevails, freight leaders sayGet episode transcriptsVisit Supply Chain XchangeListen to CSCMP and Supply Chain Quarterly's Supply Chain in the Fast Lane podcastSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.comPodcast is sponsored by: ApteanOther linksAbout DC VELOCITYSubscribe to DC VELOCITYSign up for our FREE newslettersAdvertise with DC VELOCITYTop 10 Supply Chain Management Podcasts

In this edition of Overdrive Radio, the clarion voices of the spectacular pair of owner-operators behind Chicago-area-based, two-truck Rita's Absolute Trucking. That'd be Roger and Rita Wilson, who made a match with marriage in 1998 after separate histories trucking, Rita toting butter up and down the Eastern seaboard, Roger with an OTR history that stretches back to hauling swinging meat in 1970 his first time out over-the-road. Through the 1980s, he worked with a friend in LTL consolidation out of the Chicago area, growing to 50 trucks there before venturing out on his own with five. Then Rita brought two of her own to the operation, becoming Rita's Absolute early this century and growing to 15 units. They've had big ups and downs managing fleets both, but after a slow period of downsizing over more than decade are now settled squarely into a super-sweet niche moving reefer trailers full of finished chocolate mostly between Chicago and Pennsylvania, for a single customer. The pair were our Truckers of the Month for September, and regular Overdrive readers may recall their story recently published at OverdriveOnline.com: https://www.overdriveonline.com/trucker-of-the-year/article/15635072/lifes-a-lot-easier-ownerops-find-sweet-spot-with-two-trucks In that story, we heard from a Ryder System rep directly about the Wilsons' work with their warehousing customer in Blommer Chocolate Company, who've been the Wilson's customer for two decades now. Ryder had nothing but praise for Rita's Absolute Trucking, for sure. Yet after the story published, we also heard back finally from a rep from Blommer. Janie Moore called Rita and Roger Wilson's Absolute Trucking the “Absolute best. If I could have more carriers like them it would be a joy!” Moore has worked with the pair for eight years, she said, and they've “helped simplify managing" and now totally dominate "the Illinois to Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania to Illinois lanes. Locally,” too, Rita has been a godsend, she added. “There were times we had more loads to move than they could manage legally in a day. Rita would go out of her way and rent a trailer for preloading purposes. This was not a Blommer request, but instead a decision she made to assist. And for that we are forever grateful.” In eight years, Moore said, “I can count on one hand the times where they were late or delayed. While we know things happen beyond the carrier's control, they have been more than proactive and giving us advance notification on mishaps, transportation delays, breakdowns, and etc.” A worthy pair to honor, no doubt. And, clearly, they've found a sweet spot hauling chocolate.

Mike Plasencia, Group Director, RyderVentures & New Product Strategy at Ryder System, Inc. joined Grayson Brulte on The Road To Autonomy Podcast to discuss how Ryder creates value through services for customers and partners. The conversation begins with Mike discussing how Ryder became the central nervous system for autonomous trucking. Ryder noticed the trend of autonomy early and embraced the trend by investing and preparing the company for the future. The company has an 89 year history dating back to 1933 of being forward-thinking and innovative in ways it approaches business opportunities. As technology has continued to bring efficiency to the market, it has also brought challenges. That's the name of our game and so over the next 50 years as technology continues to develop and business models change, we want to be that partner that customers can outsource to. We may look very different in the next 50 years, but ultimately our core task of solving difficult problems for our customers is still going to be our mantra. – Mike PlasenciaAs Ryder builds out their autonomous trucking portfolio, the company has partnered with Embark, TuSimple, Waymo and Gatik to assist them with scaling their autonomous operations. Mike goes onto discusses why Ryder is focused on partnering with autonomous trucking companies and not building out their own solution. You will never see us building the truck, you will never see us coding the driver. – Mike PlasenciaWhile Ryder might not build the truck or code the driver, they will however invest in the technology. As part of Gatik's Series B round, RyderVentures invested in the company. It's not just autonomy that RyderVentures is investing in, the fund is looking into investing opportunity in asset sharing, ecommerce, warehouse automation, big data and next generation vehicles. We try to be on the forefront of every new technology related to vehicles for our customers. – Mike PlasenciaRyder's core advantage is that the company can provide services that unlock value for their customers and partners. Ryder's partnership with Waymo is focused on being the company's maintenance partner. [Waymo] can focus on being what they are really good at as a technology company, and we can focus on what we are really good at, maintaining vehicles. – Mike PlasenciaRyder is clearly focused on the providing value to the autonomous trucking ecosystem as on the company's Q3 2021 earnings call, Mr. Robert Sanchez, Chairman & CEO of Ryder highlighted the company's strategic alliances with several autonomous trucking companies. As the logistics industry grows with the introduction of new technologies, Grayson asks Mike how he sees the future of logistics evolving as more autonomous trucks come online. Optimization starts to take a big front-row seat. – Mike PlasenciaWrapping up the conversation, Mike discusses the data-driven study that Ryder commissioned in partnership with Georgia Tech and what they learned.Recorded on Tuesday, March 29, 2021.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

To get things right and run a successful business, these are all critical components that you're going to have to hit right on the head. The main reason most entrepreneurs fail at delegating is their ego, because they believe that no one else can do it better. However, according to Howard M. Shore, humility is an important asset that entrepreneurs should embrace in order to build strong teams and thriving businesses. He also believes in having clear visions and clear priorities, and ensuring every team member is on the same page. Howard M.

The Logistics of Customer Experience with Scott Perry Scott Perry and Joe Lynch discuss the logistics of customer experience. Scott is the President of the Suddath Companies, Suddath has been a trusted name in moving and logistics for over a century. From humble beginnings in 1919 as a moving company in Jacksonville, Florida, The company has grown into a $600-million global transportation, relocation management and logistics company, serving 180 countries with 2,000 employees around the globe. About Scott Perry Scott Perry is the president of moving and logistics at Suddath, a leading moving and logistics provider for over a century. At Suddath, Scott leads multiple lines of business, each of them responsible for thousands of ground, air and ocean shipments carrying millions of products on any given day. Scott is an astute leader with more than 30 years' logistics experience, including international freight forwarding, domestic transportation and freight management, warehousing, distribution and fulfilment, as well as more complex domestic and global supply chain management. He is experienced with next-generation technology, including product management, strategy and integration of new technology into existing systems. Prior to joining Suddath, Scott served as Chief Operating Officer at Nikola Motor Company. Prior to that, he was Chief Technology and Procurement Officer for Ryder System, Inc.'s Fleet Management Solutions division, where he worked for more than 26 years in various operational and functional leadership roles in logistics and transportation. Scott holds an MBA from the University of Tennessee and a Master of Liberal Arts degree in sustainability from Harvard University. About Suddath Suddath, a trusted name in moving and logistics for over a century, has grown into a $650 million diverse and global company of brands. Our 2,000 passionate employees provide tailored solutions and expert insights with the highest levels of customer care in more than 180 countries around the world. With 58 locations and 3.5 million square feet of warehouse space in the U.S., Suddath moves more than 84,000 households annually, including 38,000 military families, and is North America's largest commercial mover. Key Takeaways: The Logistics of Customer Experience Companies are increasingly trying to differentiate their product or service by delivering a superior customer experience. That customer experience is often outsourced to transportation and logistics companies, who traditionally have not focused on customer experience. Customer expectations have risen dramatically in recent years because of Amazon doing such a good job on home delivery. Suddath's unique heritage in both logistics and residential moving has given them practical insights into the customer experience. In the interview, Scott Perry explains what it takes to deliver a customer experience that meets and exceeds expectations. People and culture - The customer experience is delivered by the frontline people in the organization so those people must be taken care of. At Suddath, they have developed a culture that truly values employees. The values are reflected in the company's commitment to employee health & safety, sustainability, social responsibility, and community development. Technology – Customers expect to receive updates and visibility via technology whether it is a full truck delivering to a retailer or a shipment delivering to a home. Resources – The logistics provider needs to a certain level of control over the resources (people, trucks, and warehouses) that are responsible for delivering the customer experience. While Suddath has many valued partners, they also own their own trucks and warehouses so they can be counted on even in difficult times. Resilience – The pandemic has reinforced the importance of resilient supply chains. Many shippers who focused on price alone found that their carriers could not be counted on when things got tough. Suddath has been in business for over a century, through economic turmoil, wars, pandemics, regulatory changes, etc. so resilience is in their DNA.
