Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FreightWaves Today | October 12
Q: Was this sort of an accidental serendipitous moment for you guys, where you thought about, hey, I want to handle more freight and therefore, I'm going to roll out these technology solutions to get a bigger piece of the pie? Or was there really an epiphany of like, hey, this isn't going to work long term and we're going to have problems continuing to fund our business if we don't make the pivot?
Felipe Capella says the shift was deliberate: Loadsmart assessed the cost of its large research and development operation and expanded into higher-margin SaaS products to make that investment sustainable.

Lance says carriers should not haul for less than their costs, except when a sufficiently profitable load allows them to accept a cheaper backhaul.
