Andrew chats with Jeremy Becker from Kirsch Transportation Services about how modern tech can help create and sustain productive partnerships between drivers and brokers and build those better relationships.

Yes, this really is a thing and it really matters. In this episode I’m going to show you how to calculate your reputation value as a driver, just like you would with a credit card history. And, just like a credit score, I’ll share the ways you can actually increase your value right now.
