Jeff Hopper

This week’s guest is my colleague Jeff Hopper, CMO for DAT. Jeff is leading DAT’s initiatives for combating double brokerage and other fraud on transportation load boards. Working with shippers, brokers, carriers, government agencies, as well as other platform providers, DAT is actively designing and implementing approaches to both keep bad actors out and detect behavior that indicates potential fraudulent activity. In the conversation, we talk about what fraud looks like, why we are seeing more of it now, and what we all can do to minimize if not eliminate it.

This week’s guest is Professor Yossi Sheffi, Director of MIT’s Center for Transportation &amp; Logistics and author of the recent book, The Magic Conveyor Belt: Supply Chains, AI, and the Future of Work. Written mainly in response to the general public’s newly awakened awareness of and interest in supply chains during the pandemic, the book explains in great clarity how supply chains work, why they are complex, and where the challenges are. Additionally, he addresses and explores the impact of future trends including robotics, automation, shifting labor patterns, and the need for continuous education. The conversation touched upon the influence of the pandemic on supply chains, the impact of technology implementation on labor, and, of course, the challenges and opportunities that AI brings.

Corey Johnson

This week’s guest is Corey Johnson, VP of North America Product Supply &amp; Merchandising at Procter &amp; Gamble. Corey has been leading P&amp;G’s journey transforming their physical distribution into what they refer to as a “Multi-Dimensional Supply Chain”. In our conversation, we discuss exactly what P&amp;G means by “Multi-Dimensional” to include increasing automation within their facilities, digitization of processes, and, most relevant to this podcast, growth of their private fleet. Corey and I talk about why the fleet was formed, what the benefits have been, and how this has provided much needed flexibility to their operations.

Marc Levinson

This week’s guest is Marc Levinson, author of several influential books on business and finance. The two that we focus on in our conversation are: The Box that details how the introduction of seemingly simple shipping containers transformed the global economy and Outside The Box where he argues that globalization is now entering a new era in which moving physical products will matter much less than exchanging services, information, and ideas. In our conversation, we touch upon the introduction and adoption of containerization and how companies are adjusting to changes in globalization.

David Correll

In this week’s episode, Chris is joined by a colleague at the MIT Center for Transportation &amp; Logistics and fellow Research Scientist, Dr. David Correll. At MIT, Dave leads the FreightLab’s driver initiative which is focused on North American over-the-road truck drivers, and finding ways to increase utilization and profitability while also improving the driver experience. Chris and Dave discuss several research findings related to the alleged “driver shortage,” including Hours of Service (HOS) utilization, day of the week effects, and driver retention tactics. Dave goes on to explain why he believes there is a utilization crisis versus a driver shortage, and how it could be solved by each driver adding just 12 minutes a day. Stay tuned to the end, as Inam Iyoob joins Chris for the latest market update and rate forecast for the North American truckload market.

Solving the Driver Shortage: The value of 12 minutes | David Correll

FMIC is getting predictive, and we’re excited to give our Freightvine listeners a sneak peek at the future of transportation benchmarking at Chainalytics.  In this episode, Dr. Chris Caplice (Chief Scientist at Chainalytics &amp; Executive Director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics) recaps the origin of the “Model-Based Benchmarking Consortium” which was one of the first large-scale applications of machine learning techniques to understand the underlying drivers of transportation rates. He goes on to briefly explain its evolution over the last 15 years into what we know today as the Freight Market Intelligence Consortium (FMIC).  Chris is joined by Chad Kennedy (Sr. Product Manager, FMIC Pulse at Chainalytics) to discuss the many use cases of FMIC Pulse — our real-time solution for understanding current market dynamics and long-term inflationary views which was introduced in 2017. Chris then lays out what to expect with Chainalytics’ soon-to-be-released freight rate forecasting solution which will include monthly forecasts for Active Contract Rates, Spot Premium Ratio, and New Rate Differential as well as a 15-month forward-looking market estimate. All of this is being launched in early 2020 to Chainalytics’ FMIC members. Wanna join? Email fmic@chainalytics.com to learn more.

Alex Scott

After nearly a decade as a practitioner at JB Hunt, Kenco Logistics, and IBM, Alex Scott went back to school for his PhD before returning to the world of academia to dig into transportation and policy research as well as teaching. Alex is currently an Assistant Professor of Supply Chain Management at Michigan State University.  To start their discussion Chris Caplice asks Alex to share his key takeaways from three of his previous research projects based on actual datasets (versus theory). The duo then digs into Alex’s latest award-winning research on the results of the ELD mandate which went into effect in December 2017, “Did the Electronic Logging Device Mandate Reduce Accidents?” In this study, Alex and his research partners dug into the FMCSA numbers since the mandate took effect to understand if driver safety had improved (or not). Chris then asks for Alex’s take on the proposed HOS rule changes and how he thinks drivers will react. At the end, Alex shares some of his new research topics.

The Impact of ELDs & Other Freight Policies | Alex Scott

Ron Guzzi

The Home Depot is the world’s largest home improvement specialty retailer with more than 2,200 retail stores across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Each year The Home Depot spends around $2 Billion on domestic transportation services across dedicated fleets, truckload, intermodal, and less-than-truckload, making it one of the largest shippers in the U.S.  Ron Guzzi (Sr. Manager, Carrier Relations &amp; Sourcing at The Home Depot) has led the company’s domestic transportation sourcing and carrier management efforts for the last decade.

Craig Fuller

Craig Fuller, CEO at FreightWaves, has a long and storied history in the trucking industry. He starts this episode by explaining how his career began at US Xpress Enterprises in the mid-1990s, a company which was founded by his father in 1985. After a decade there, he started two of his own companies, Transfund$ and TransCard, before launching FreightWaves in 2016. Craig shares that the original vision for FreightWaves was to build a freight futures market (which eventually launched in early 2019), but that the company has expanded into many areas (like media and SaaS) out of necessity and creativity. Chris Caplice then solicits Craig’s opinions on some of the industry’s biggest questions, including: the future role of brokers/3PLs and the spot market, whether it’s a driver shortage or an efficiency problem, and the possible consolidation of long-haul trucking companies.

Finding a Sustainable Balance for Freight Transportation | Alexis Bateman & Suzanne Greene

Steve Ellet

Now more than ever in light of global health crises and economic uncertainty, it is important to understand the resilience of your supply chain network. And network modeling is where it all begins.  Supply chain design expert Steve Ellet (Sr. Vice President of Supply Chain Design at Chainalytics) joins host Chris Caplice to unpack some of the latest innovations in network modeling and the importance of “what-if” scenario planning and continuous modeling. Steve explains that transportation is a critical component of network modeling since it typically makes up more than two-thirds of supply chain’s total operating costs.  To wrap things up, Chris is joined by Inam Iyoob to provide the latest North American truckload market rate trends and forecast powered by FMIC. The duo digs into the impact of COVID-19 on freight supply (i.e., drivers) and demand.
