E5: State of the Industry Podcast with John Elliott: 2023 Trucking Industry Predictions

In this the twelfth episode of the State of the Industry podcast, Load One’s John Elliott and host Brandon Baxter as we gear up for the final quarter of the year in expedite!

We also talk about the recent 2023 Driver Appreciation Week and how leaders in the United States government are stepping in to assist in the ongoing battle for safer truck parking.
