How much should a loaf of bread cost? How about a dress shirt? Or a gallon of gas? The cost of goods are subject to their respective levels of supply and demand. With today's strong consumer demand, private motor carriers are adapting — increasing tractor counts by the thousands, optimizing efficiency, improving asset utilization — and creating value for the end consumer. In this episode, Transport Topics' Seth Clevenger, Michael Freeze and Mike Senatore dissect private carrier operations — how fleets are adapting to this new, softened market and what it takes to be successful amidst new mergers and increased consumer spending.

He plans, writes, and edits news features for Transport Topics' weekly newspaper, supplemental publications and TTNews.com. In the podcast interview, Seth and Joe discuss the top 100 logistics companies. Below are some highlights from Seth's article, 2023 Top 100 Logistics List Highlights Growth for 3PLs. Despite a challenging economic environment and less favorable market conditions, the largest third-party logistics companies in North America continued to grow last year. Spot freight demand has softened, and truck capacity has loosened since the frenetic days of the 2021 freight boom. Shippers have replenished their inventories after struggling with supply chain bottlenecks during the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. An overwhelming majority of the 3PLs that appear on the 2023 Transport Topics Top 100 Logistics Companies list continued to grow their revenues last year. The annual list ranks companies on the basis of annual gross revenue generated by their logistics operations, including freight brokerage, freight forwarding, warehousing and distribution and asset-based dedicated contract carriage. Freight brokerage giant C.H. Robinson Worldwide holds onto its No. 1 ranking by a significant margin. Ryder Supply Chain Solutions climbed into the top 10 after expanding its revenue to $6.5 billion last year. Armada Supply Chain Solutions acquired St. Louis-based freight brokerage Sunset Transportation and lands at No. 13 on the Top 100 with more than $5.5 billion in revenue. Several companies are making their first appearance on the Top 100 this year, including RXO, Ryan Transportation Service, Scotlynn Group, Canada Cartage, KAG Logistics, and Logistics Plus. The Top 100 list and the accompanying sector rankings were produced in collaboration with industry research and consulting firm Armstrong & Associates.  Learn More About The Top 100 Logistics Companies Seth on LinkedIn Transport Topicst on LinkedIn Transport Topics website Road Signs Podcast Episode Sponsor: Port X Logistics Is Drayage Just Drayage with Brian Kempisty Episode Sponsor: Lean Solutions Group Outsourced Sales and Marketing with Ryan Mann The Logistics of Logistics Podcast If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a positive review, subscribe, and share it with your friends and colleagues.

He also talks about his career as a journalist and what's changed for him in reporting on the industry. He comments on the transformational times trucking is in and encourages everyone in trucking to be open to all the new possibilities.

Autonomous trucks are still in the early days. Tech companies, startups, and companies like Daimler, TuSimple, Paccar, Aurora, Waymo, and Volvo continue to invest — making this transformative technology a reality. For this technology to succeed, however, it must integrate into real-world freight operations. In this episode, host Seth Clevenger wonders how autonomous trucks can fit into the freight transportation industry? What are the potential use cases and business models for self-driving commercial vehicles? To find answers, we step into Waabi World with Waabi's chief commercial officer, Vivian Sun, and later we hear from autonomous vehicle pioneer, Jan Becker, CEO and co-founder of Apex.ai. Tune in.

With over a decade at Transport Topics, Seth is an expert on how technology is transforming truck transportation.  While those not involved in the industry might think that trucking is “low-tech” - everyone on this podcast knows that is simply not true.  The level of tech in trucking has been growing exponentially. Today, owner operators have as much (if not more) technical capability than the drivers for the largest firms had just 5-10 years ago.  In this conversation Seth and I will discuss how different technologies are being adopted and the impact they have today as well as in the future.     To wrap things up, Dr. Inam Iyoob joins Dr. Chris Caplice for the latest North American truckload market rate trends and forecast powered by DAT iQ.

Two trucks travel together in a tight formation on the highway, linked by connected vehicle technology. When the driver of the lead truck brakes, the following truck automatically follows suit. The two move synchronously along a route, maintaining close proximity and securing improved fuel economy. Test drivers now at the helm of these truck platoons say the experience is a lot like using adaptive cruise control on steroids. In this episode, host Seth Clevenger speaks with Mike Perkins and Derrick Loo, professional test drivers at Peloton, one of the companies at the forefront of developing truck platooning systems. Tune in to learn more about what they do and how it is paving the way for a commercial rollout of this technology.

A special Thanksgiving message from RoadSigns host Seth Clevenger.

Required: freight carriers with access to load visibility data. No others need apply. Suddenly, shippers seem to expect carriers to know, and share, the transit story. And those who cannot rise to the data demand, lose out on the contract. The rise of the stringent shipper, is a new phenomenon. Recent advances in A.I. and machine-learning software fuel this rise. But what does this mean for the shipper-carrier relationship? Is the bar raised too high? Find out, as host Seth Clevenger makes the journey to Trimble’s 2019 Insight User Conference to talk to three industry experts about why the ability of real-time visibility is becoming table stakes in a large segment of the freight market.

On-board software means lots of trucking data. Machine data, maintenance data, driver data, load data, and all other sorts of road data arrive at the fleet’s back office waiting to be sifted for powerful insight. But that powerful insight requires fleets to have the right back-office software to do that sifting -- and the right (and regulatory compliant) on-board software to do the right kind of data collecting. And, since the latter also means having the right hardware, the right training, and the right plans for migrating data, being powerfully insightful is, for today’s fleet, rightfully challenging. So, Seth Clevenger wonders, how are industry thinkers working through this challenge? He travels to the Trimble 2019 Insight User Conference to ask a pair of executives to help him understand how one company answers this dual charge and attempts to think about a data-management future.

Trucking decisions have gone to the machines. The promises sound almost magical: supply your shippers with better freight visibility with one click, better manage your driver profiles and increase retention with this easy software, find the operational silver bullet without having to hire a data scientist. In fact, today, an algorithmic solution exists for almost every trucking and logistic problem. And, for those big data set problems not yet covered, there’s capital available. But, Seth Clevenger wonders, how well are the machines learning at scale? Will these technologies really continue to provide today’s trucking and logistics managers with better decision and support solutions for real-world problems tomorrow? Or, are the profitability promises about to fall flat? To get some answers, our host travels to the 2019 McLeod Software User Conference and sits with tech expert and company CEO, Tom McLeod, who helps to put a human explanation to the work of the machines.

Until recently, what happened on the road, stayed on the road. Trucking businesses had little opportunity to monitor and measure fundamental parts of their operations, and drivers were on their own to battle claims. The enterprise had no way to see in and suffered as a result. Now, on-board cameras provide that same enterprise with a view of the road and the cab. Fleets use the devices to help with everything from employee training to risk management. But does such use pay dividends? Will on-board cameras lead fleets to greater efficiency, better safety records, and stronger decision making? Listen in, as host Seth Clevenger asks two leading field experts to help him understand the real value of these devices.

How will the emergence of automated steering capabilities in trucking change on-road safety? The introduction of active steering features in commercial trucks represents the next evolutionary stage for the onboard safety and collision mitigation systems available on the market today. However, how will this affect the driver experience? Will steering features such as lane-keeping assist begin to reduce driver fatigue? To help answer some of these questions, host Seth Clevenger speaks with experts Dan Williams, director of ADAS and autonomy at ZF Group, and Jason Roycht, vice president and regional business leader for commercial vehicles at Bosch North America.

Did you ever wonder what might happen if your back-office decision makers had time to strategize and think, rather than be weighed down by menial tasks? Could the digital brain help support your real human brains? And could they do so in cost-effective ways? In this episode of RoadSigns, host Seth Clevenger takes a look at the way an entirely new technology changes trucking’s and freight transportation’s back office. As artificial intelligence and machine learning begin to appear in trucking and logistics software, he wonders, “How is this trend changing transportation management?

It’s time to trade in your old tech for new. Oh… and you have less than a year to complete the journey. Every business manager knows that, when you have institutionalized an operational technology, moving to a new system can feel like an impossible task. And the stakes increase when outside forces put a time constraint on that change. Some of the trucking's most forward-thinking managers provide a good example. Their tech? The driver-logging software known as AOBRDs. These managers have until December 2019 to migrate to new tracking platforms: Electronic Logging Devices (ELD). Unlike those who adopted ELDs as new technology, AOBRD users understand the benefits of this tracking technology but must deal with legacy workflows and other operational requirements. In this episode of RoadSigns, host Seth Clevenger maps the great tech migration from AOBRDS to ELDS and asks, “What will trucking's business leaders need to make the transition in time?” For more information visit: https://roadsigns.ttnews.com/episodes/is-your-fleet-prepared/ Follow the RoadSigns: Twitter: @ttroadsigns LinkedIn: RoadSignspocast Instragram: @roadsignspodcast Join RoadSigns mailing list: https://roadsigns.ttnews.com/join-the-mailing-list/

Have you thought about technology as a gateway to… more technology? Take the oft-considered Electronic Logging Device (ELD) technology as an example. What was a technology meant to track hours of service may now be a gateway into new forms of fleet management. In fact, several new ELD vendors (at least the successful ones) are expanding their products to deliver new fleet management features beyond core compliance. In this episode of RoadSigns, host Seth Clevenger goes on the hunt for examples of new uses of the tech formerly-known-as-just-hours-of-service-tracking and asks, “Can it really do that too?” For more information visit: https://roadsigns.ttnews.com/episodes/what-does-the-future-hold-for-elds/ Follow the RoadSigns: Twitter: @ttroadsigns LinkedIn: RoadSignspocast Instragram: @roadsignspodcast Join RoadSigns mailing list: https://roadsigns.ttnews.com/join-the-mailing-list/
