    Air Cargo in 2023

    No portion of the freight industry has changed in the last several years more than air cargo. From trying to keep up with demand through converting passenger airlines to freighters as well as using secondary airports for uncluttered access to freight, shippers have had a harder time trying to pin down a way in which to best use air cargo and no one really knows what it will look like when the dust settles. Joining us to talk about it are FreightWaves Air Cargo Editor Eric Kulisch, Mike Webber, Founder of Webber Air Cargo and Marc Schlossberg, Executive Vice President of Unique Logistics International.

    How brokers can use sales and marketing to get to 2024 and win

    Prognosticators say that any real recovery in the freight industry won’t happen until first or second quarter of 2024. That said, how do brokers survive in a time like this when it means one’s livelihood to sell consistently in a down economic time? How does marketing feed into this and how are the two married? And if a brokerage makes it to 2024, how can they then capitalize on the new economy and gain greater market share? Joining us are Digital Dispatch’s Founder Blythe Brumleve and Kevin Hill, Owner of Brush Pass Research and host of Put That Coffee Down podcast on FreightWaves TV.

    Is Mexico the next freight frontier?

    With many companies looking to nearshoring to get into the American economy, is Mexico the next manufacturing and distribution gold mine? Does the country have the infrastructure to take on such a role in the economic world? Can it contain the disruptions created by drug cartels and keep freight moving safely throughout the country? Is it the next freight frontier or are we setting ourselves up for a burst bubble if anticipated freight transactions can’t be sustained?
