Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FreightWaves Today | August 14
Q: What is the current outlook for the used truck market and asset valuations?
Valuations are tied to the market cycle; prices can rise or fall with demand, and bankruptcies often align with asset values when markets swing, affecting lenders' decisions and fleet liquidity.
FreightWaves Today | August 5
Q: What makes Wove's tariff engine different from other tariff tools?
Wove offers an AI-powered ingestion engine that can read and interpret large tariff notices quickly, ingests HTS changes, and provides a tariff time machine API with historical data, enabling real-time landed cost estimation and rapid tariff audits for thousands of SKUs.
FreightWaves Today | August 6
Q: What role does turnover play alongside the pay index in understanding hiring dynamics?
Turnover provides a complementary signal to wages, highlighting how often drivers leave and are replaced; high turnover often coincides with higher starting wages and labor market tightening, helping operators benchmark their own performance against industry trends.
FreightWaves Today | August 6
Q: How should shipping and trucking operations use this index in practice?
They should monitor the Driver Pay Index to calibrate starting wages and retention offers, using it as external validation for pay decisions and adjusting compensation as volumes and customer demand rise or fall.
FreightWaves Today | August 3
Q: What is the current state of maintenance and technician availability?
