    Arrive’s Pyatt’s Relentless Brokerage Focus

    Some brokers are generating strong organic growth despite the tepid freight environment. Expansion can come from a strong service offering, lower costs to serve and shippers’ tendency to reduce the number of providers when trucking capacity is loose. In this episode of the Talking Transports podcast, Matt Pyatt, Arrive Logistics CEO and co-founder, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to explain how the company grew its truckload brokerage business 35% year over year in a challenging freight economy. Pyatt also discusses leaning on technology for productivity gains and driving costs per load down beyond the 40% achieved over the past 36 months. The conversation also covers consolidation, opportunities, challenges and fraud in the freight brokerage industry, as well as the importance of being relentless in business.

    Werner’s Leathers on Trucking’s Direction

    The pace of the truckload-rate recovery could be driven by the Trump administration’s focus on the enforcement of English-language proficiency (ELP) requirements, its pause on trucker work visas and the strength of this year’s peak season. In this Talking Transports podcast, Derek Leathers, Werner Enterprises’ chairman and CEO, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share what could be around the corner for trucking. ELP enforcement on the state and national level might affect 5-15% of truckers, according to Leathers. He also reflects on the pending Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern merger, EPA engine mandates, the impact of the US’ more protectionist policies on freight demand and how he opted for the open road over a job on Wall Street.

    ABH’s Hatch on Potential Rail Consolidation

    Union Pacific’s $88 billion bid for Norfolk Southern could usher in a new era for the North American railroad industry if the companies can show the Surface Transportation Board that the deal will enhance competition and is in the public interest. In this Talking Transports podcast, Tony Hatch, founder and president of ABH Consulting, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share his insights about the merits and challenges of a possible merger between the two large railroads. UP and NS will need to make their case to all stakeholders, which include shippers, workers, Norfolk shareholders and regulators, who could be the most difficult to persuade. The downstream effect of a deal or perceived likelihood of regulatory approval could lead to further consolidation among Class I carriers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
