State of the Industry with John Elliott

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!

Now, as the calendar turns to October and the leaves begin to fall, we discuss the (as of this article and recording) ongoing UAW (United Auto Workers) strike and how it affects the expedite industry. 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.
