Show Notes
Let's start this week by breaking down the latest updates in transportation and supply chain management with today's guest, Kyle Kottke from Kottke Trucking!
We delve into the recent upward trajectory of the dry van market, specifically focusing on lanes such as Plant City, Florida, to Des Moines, Iowa, and discuss how rising fuel prices and early produce season shifts are reshaping carrier capacity.
Kyle and I take a frank look at the differences between contracted rates and spot market volatility, while stressing the absolute necessity of transparent communication and technical accuracy in today's freight brokerage landscape.
Whether we're tackling the nuances of AB5 regulations, driver classifications, or the internal metrics that define a successful trucking operation, this episode has the no-nonsense insights you need to navigate the road ahead!
