Jeff Carlson of Cass Information Systems is back in today's episode to discuss the extended shipper payment cycle and its potential impact on startups and small carriers in the industry! Stay connected to the show for more market updates!   Here's What to Learn From This Episode: Freight Market Stabilization: Freight volumes and rates showing stability in 2024; CAS Freight Index indicates steady average transaction sizes. Minor fluctuations noted during events (e.g., DOT blitz week) may signal capacity shifts. Extended Shipper Payment Terms: Shippers shifting focus to cash position; increasing payment terms up to 120 days. Large enterprises favor financial stability with carriers, making it tougher for startups to enter the market without proven track records. Supply chain finance programs target transportation to improve liquidity. Impact on Small Carriers: Small/startup carriers advised to avoid enterprise shippers initially to build stability; extended receivables and large credit lines are essential for handling substantial accounts. Effective cash flow management is critical; recommend lines of credit or factoring to prevent negative cash flow amid extended payment terms.   About Jeff Carlson Jeff joined Cass Information Systems in April of 2019 as Vice President Global Sales & Marketing. Jeff joined Cass with more than 20 years' experience in the freight payment industry, where he served in several strategic management roles. While at U.S. Bank, he played a significant role in the development of key aspects of the PowerTrack solution, pricing model, and marketing and sales processes. He also was part of the supply chain finance team to help build out aspects of that service offering. Jeff also served as a vice president of the technology, consumer products/retail, and manufacturing industry verticals at freight payment provider Trax Technologies. Prior to his experience in the freight payment industry, Jeff spent time with Dart Trucking, Canadian Pacific Railroad after starting his career at Koch Industries.

In this episode, I'm speaking with Dan Shipper — Dan is a friend, the founder of Every, and someone who I consider to be a philosopher founder.This conversation didn't go the direction that I thought it would, I had prepared questions exploring the future of AI and technology, but I'm glad we listened to the thread that was most alive — which ended up being exploring Dan's personal journey with OCD ‌and recent deep dive into Jungian archetypal perspectives — and living on the borders of things — the Twilight Zone that he poetically described. Dan did manage to save me towards the end and loop the conversation back towards AI with a super interesting thesis around how it might allow us to make our intuitions more visible and reproducible in the world.Official Links

This week's guest is Rob Haddock the recently retired Group Director of Planning & Logistics at Coca-Cola North America.  In his retirement, Rob has started a new firm (Albedo Logistics), begun consulting projects on the side, and written a book!  I asked Rob to join me on the Freightvine to discuss his book, titled, Transportation Adventures of a Food Shipper: A Shipper's Guide to Truckload Transportation - The Sapient Shipper Adventures.  Rob has distilled his almost 40 years of experience in the freight trucking and supply chain  industry and instilled it into his book.  In our conversation, we talked about how transportation executives should communicate up to their C-suite, the importance of having intellectual curiosity and willingness to ‘break things', and the need for an organizational ‘plan on a page' to act as a north star to guide strategy and actions.  Rob also discussed how he believes that Artificial Intelligence is akin to Iron Man's AI equipped suit, J.A.R.V.I.S., in that it can make an executive or manager be better and smarter at their job.  Not as a replacement.  

 In episode 127: FLIPPED!; Shipper and Brian have a great conversation with Jeremy, a line haul driver. Jeremy started out running his own company as a "Hotshot Hauler", hooking up anything he could haul to his pickup truck and hitting the road. He ran in this line of work for over a year until it came to an abrupt end. From there he bounced between a few other gigs, before landing on his feet as a dockworker in an LTL company. Once he was around the big rigs, he attained his CDL, and worked his way to the line haul position he has today. All of Jeremy's experience in his different positions have helped him to get to where he is today, in one of the best industries to be a part of. He shared with us the life lessons he's learned along the way, as well as the many things he's seen on the road in that time. The guys thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, and we know you will too!

In episode 123: #MOO!; Brian and Shipper are joined by Dakota from Texas. Through the years, Dakota has been involved in many different facets of the industry, but that's not where he started. As a young man, Dakota was a security guard for over 6 years, in hopes of becoming a police officer, but as time went on he decided to take up driving. He tells of the time he spent in training with a "trainer" who was less than interested in helping him learn, and more interested in the back of their eyelids.

“Ignoring what is obvious incurs a huge cost. It requires you to go about your day numbing yourself to the reality of who you are and what you want—which is a waste of time for you and everyone around you. By contrast, admitting what is obvious is freeing and motivating. But it's terrifying to do it. Sometimes the most obvious truths about ourselves are hard to see because the consequences of those truths seem so dire.” Those are the opening lines of one of my favourite essays I've read in the last year, written by this week's guest on Infinite Loops - Dan Shipper. Dan is the Co-founder and CEO of Every, a media company that wants to be an intellectual lighthouse amidst the tempest that is the Age of AI. Every began life in 2020 as a bundle of digital newsletters (almost like a centralised version of Substack with more of an editorial flourish). These days, it's blossomed into an ecosystem of colourful newsletters, podcasts, courses, and software products, all oriented around the unpacking of a single question - “What comes next?” Every is already one of my go-to destinations for all things interesting. It's less brain food than brain buffet (the kind of buffet that serves fresh blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup). In our conversation, Dan shares his thoughts on everything from AI companions; his approach to erecting the Every ‘Pyramid'; his playbook for building new media companies; the idea of LLMs as mirrors for humanity; and using content to ‘find your people'. What I love about him is how candidly and thoughtfully he talks about his journey to discover his own truth. His realisation that he didn't need to hang up his boots as a writer in order to become a founder is something that particularly hit home for me. Dan Shipper is also my underdog pick to eventually wrest the title of Infinite Loops Emperor from reigning clubhouse leader Alex Danco. By which I mean to say, this is most certainly not the last time Dan joins us on the show, so you may as well get to know him better.

Only by a miracle did he find his way out of addiction and into trucking. Rooster truly has a wonderful story of triumph over trouble. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride with Rooster!

In episode 129: A Lineage of Trucking; Brian and Shipper are joined in studio for a great chat with Nevin Jr. Last week, we had Nevin Jr's dad on the show, and this week we get to sit down with the man who learned from the master. As Nevin shares, driving is just in his family's veins, and that's a good thing. From the time he was a young buck he would watch his dad at work, and see the life of a trucker up close. This didn't deter him, it just opened his eyes to what he could also do. Now Nevin works at Pitt-Ohio and enjoys every minute of it, but it just shows you how we are shaped by our family. This was a great time in the studio with the guys, and we know you'll enjoy the conversation. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

In this week's show, Brian and Shipper are joined by Tony and Jack! For the first time in about a year, Tony joins the show and the guys were thrilled to have him. This episode went from on the rails, to off the rails, to losing the rails completely! However, it was such a good time regardless. They talk about Tony's time down in Tennessee thus far, as well as new industry updates, and AI's looming domination. Thanks for listening, and enjoy this episode!
