Kameel Gaines talks about her career journey; her business Rig on Wheels; driver recruitment; & the importance of elevating African American women in trucking.  IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [07.37] Kameel's career journey, and how she found her way from educational sales to trucking recruitment. “Trucking chose me!” [10.38] Why Kameel founded her own business, Rig on Wheels, and why she always had an entrepreneurial mindset. “I came from an entrepreneurial family, so I wasn't afraid of it. [13.42] A closer look at Rig on Wheels; what makes it different; and Kameel's reputation for innovation and taking a driver-centric approach to business. “We are very much an advocate of the professional driver. Innovation is very important because evolution is coming, it's here! We want to make sure that our drivers are ready.” “Recruitment is changing, and social media is the new CB radio! We need to meet drivers where they are.” [16.54] Rig on Wheels' upcoming 15-year anniversary, and Kameel's laidback approach to the celebrations. “I'm just excited that my team is excited!” [18.10] Why Kameel launched the first-of-its-kind Rig on Wheels podcast; her passion for ongoing learning; and why she's always looking to improve. “I started educating myself, and looking at other peoples shows. And, instead of looking at them as a spectator, I was looking to learn… How can we do this better? We're not looking for perfection, but we are looking for excellence.” [21.46] Kameel's perspective on the rise of supply chain media, and the innate inclusivity in helping professionals from all walks of life to engage, learn, and communicate in new ways. “There are a lot of voices, and there's a voice for everyone – that's what's great. Everybody identifies with someone.” [26.29] Kameel's previous role as co-chairwoman of the African American Women's Trucking Association, and the importance of elevating the representation and success of African American women in trucking. “Representation matters. You can't be what you don't see.” [29.31] The role of mentors in Kameel's career journey, and how she maintained those relationships over time. [34.33] Kameel's advice for the young women looking to follow in her footsteps. “Open up your eyes to new possibilities, get out of your comfort zone – the world is your back yard.” [36.47] The one (unexpected) career achievement that Kameel is most proud of.

What were you doing at 19 years old? For Carter Fehr and Jordan Kersten, the answer is “working full-time as an OTR driver.” But wait—don't you have to be 21 for that? Yes—unless you're part of the FMCSA Safe Driver Apprenticeship Program (SDAP, for short). With SDAP, under-21 drivers can cross state lines and drive over the road. In the past, our industry would lose high school graduates to other skilled trades, but if successful, this program could open trucking as a career path for young people! So, why did these guys choose trucking at such a young age? What was the training like? Are there any restrictions on what they can or can't do? How did they adjust to the trucking lifestyle?

Truckers suing to block New York’s congestion fee for Manhattan drivers

レアジョブ英会話 Daily News Article Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 27, 2024 2:24


The Trucking Association of New York filed a federal lawsuit in May against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which developed the toll scheme, arguing the higher fees unfairly and unconstitutionally target the trucking industry. The trucking association's lawsuit is among at least eight seeking to block the congestion fee plan, which is slated to launch June 30. Under the transit authority's plan, trucks would be subject to a charge of $24 or $36 per trip, depending on their size. Most drivers in private passenger cars, in contrast, should expect to pay about $15, with lower rates for motorcycles and late-night entries into the city, according to the proposal finalized in March. Kendra Hems, the trucking association's president, said the industry will have no choice but to shoulder the increased costs, as truck operators don't have flexibility on their driving routes or schedules, which are generally set by the businesses they serve. That, she said, will only lead to price increases on countless goods, as the trucking industry moves nearly 90% of products in New York City. “As any responsible business does, we deliver when our customers ask us to deliver, which is during prime business hours,” said Joe Fitzpatrick, founder of Lightning Express Delivery Service and a member of the trucking association's board. “That will not change now, but what will change is higher costs for New Yorkers as a result.” The association suggests that the transit authority revise its plan to exempt the industry from the fee, limit trucks to being tolled just once a day or toll them at the same rate as passenger vehicles. A Manhattan federal court judge last month heard arguments in lawsuits brought by unionized public school teachers, politicians, and other New Yorkers. In New Jersey, a federal court judge has also heard arguments in legal challenges brought by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, and others. Many of those lawsuits argue the tolling scheme was approved by federal transportation officials without proper scrutiny and that the court should order transit officials to conduct a more comprehensive environmental study before rolling out the plan.

This year, retailers are figuring out how to differentiate between legitimate consumer returns and those who use returns to conduct fraud.The new year often signals a new round of industry awards and accolades. This year is no different, as many trade associations prepare to recognize industry professionals for their many achievements. The Women in Trucking Association has been out front on this issue, announcing over the past couple of weeks plans to honor women truck drivers and logistics leaders with two separate awards this spring.  We provide details on how you can nominate deserving supply chain professionals.CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly  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:Prestige EconomicsRetailers chip away at online return rate, but fraud continues to growWomen In Trucking to honor drivers and logistics leadersWomen In TruckingGet episode transcriptsVisit Supply Chain QuarterlyListen to CSCMP and Supply Chain Quarterly's Supply Chain in the Fast Lane podcastSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@dcvelocity.comPodcast is sponsored by: ApteanOther linksAbout DC VELOCITYSubscribe to DC VELOCITYSign up for our FREE newslettersAdvertise with DC VELOCITYTop 10 Supply Chain Management Podcasts
