WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

  • Women moving America
    • Dooner and The Dude are talking to women who are moving America. From university classrooms to the cabs of big rigs, a whole new generation of leaders is emerging in the supply chain.
    • Plus, SONAR-powered data and freight flows, the trucking industry adding jobs, Prime vs. Prime, and Bad News/Good News concerning Safe Driver Week, Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza, and Disney’s Mulan.
    • With music from The Haraway Brothers.
    • This episode features Lisa Ellram, university distinguished professor, Miami University; WIll Haraway, founder, Lead Coverage; Ingrid Brown, owner-operator, Rollin’ B; and Kalissa Carver, “Big Rig Barbie.”
  • Back to trucking school
    • Dooner and The Dude are going back to school…trucking school, that is. They talk about outbound tender volumes reaching new heights and how that freight surge could hamper storm recovery efforts. They learn the art of starting a trucking company and dispatch, hear about life on the road from the most stylish driver on 18-wheels, and find out how potential MPG could be a game-changer for fuel efficiency.
    • This episode features Alix Burton, fleet owner, Good Energy Worldwide; Freight Bambino, trucker; Alan Farnsworth, CEO, Vnomics Corp.
    • And, this week’s Big and Little Deals features a railway poaching $48.9 million settlement, Russian hackers trying to infiltrate Tesla, cold storage for COVID-19 vaccines, Amazon judging the tone of your voice, and the passing of Chadwick Boseman.

Midday Market Update

Put That Coffee Down

  • Carrier sales and negotiation
    • Dooner and Kevin Hill talk about carrier sales and the art of negotiation. They discuss how to find and select carriers and weed out bad methods for sourcing, as well as define what matters during negotiations.
    • This episode features Jake McLeod, CCO, RPM. Jake has experience and education on both sides of the bun. He is a Michigan Wolverine who, like Rodney Dangerfield, went back to school and got his master’s in supply chain management from Eastern Michigan University. He has worked for XPO, Ryder and now RPM.
    • Plus, listener feedback, advice and community building!

    • Michael Lemke talks about the mental strain on drivers who are keeping the U.S. supply chain afloat during the pandemic. 
    • Lemke is a professor at the University of Houston-Downtown and he is a former driver. So, he’s studied the profession from the inside and the outside. The pandemic has put a whole different sort of strain on those behind the wheel, and Lemke joins Drilling Deep to talk about it. 
    • Also on Drilling Deep, host John Kingston discusses why the price of oil, though trending higher gradually since early June, may have reached a high point for now. There are lots of things suggesting that prices may be trending lower.
