Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mike Roeth, NACFE | The Cost of the Messy Middle
Q: What should shippers take away when evaluating the shift to alternative fuels?
Shippers should collaborate with carriers to explore a gradual transition, recognize that TCO is bespoke per fleet, and consider not just fuel and maintenance costs but driver retention, route energy intensity, and infrastructure readiness when evaluating different technologies and powertrains.
Mike Roeth, NACFE | The Cost of the Messy Middle
Q: What did the Run on Less Messy Middle reveal about actual fleet performance and charging realities?
The Run on Less Messy Middle demonstrated that fleets, technologies, and infrastructure converge gradually; trucks showed better operational performance over time (e.g., improved range and faster charge rates), some achieving higher mpg, and it underscored the need for optimized charging strategies and route planning to realize cost and emissions benefits.
Mike Roeth, NACFE | The Cost of the Messy Middle
Q: Can you summarize why NACFE calls this transition the Messy Middle and how long it might last?
The Messy Middle represents the protracted period where multiple technologies coexist before a dominant design emerges; it could span decades—roughly forty to fifty years—because diverse duty cycles, regulatory environments, and cost dynamics create a complex, non-linear path to full electrification or alternative-fuel adoption.
Ken Adamo | The End of Broker Preemption
Q: How should brokers adapt their carrier vetting going forward?
Adopt and document stronger, multi-year vetting standards, use third-party vetting platforms, and prepare for a liability environment where accountability follows the carrier through the hiring process, including more rigorous data on safety and potentially driver-level vetting.
Ken Adamo | The End of Broker Preemption
Q: What does the Montgomery decision actually change for brokers on a practical level?
It removes preemption protection, meaning brokers can be held liable for negligent hiring of motor carriers. Practically, this increases accountability, incentivizes stricter carrier vetting, and raises insurance considerations, with potential short- and long-term impacts on margins and liability exposure.
