Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Moving Beyond the Load: Redefining TMS with Network-Centric Intelligence
Q: Tell me a little bit more about your journey ahead and what you're looking to implement next with the digitalized future.
The roadmap centers on using the TMS as a backbone to achieve end-to-end visibility, integrate maintenance and planning, and enable proactive decision-making. They anticipate broader data sharing across the network, smarter AI-assisted routing and driver-performance insights, and a more unified, cross-departmental view to reduce costs and improve service.
Moving Beyond the Load: Redefining TMS with Network-Centric Intelligence
Q: Tell me about the backstory behind what went into making this white paper.
Drew explains that Midwest Carriers needed a better way to understand round-trip costs and the inefficiencies caused by focusing on single lanes. They identified gaps in capacity planning, trailer pool management, and non-revenue moves, which led them to explore a more complex TMS solution (transitioning from TruckMate to TMW Suite) to model and plan more accurately.
Automating Yard Operations and Gate Technology
Q: Why did gates take so long to become a focus in freight technology?
Advancements in computer vision, edge compute, and AI have finally aligned with the economics and the operational realities of yards, making automation feasible at scale while addressing edge cases that previously required a human guard.
Minutes Matter: Driver Recruiting Insights with Tenstreet CEO Tim Crawford
Q: How should carriers adapt their messaging to improve conversions?
Messages should be human, personalized, and delivered via apps rather than slick, impersonal outreach; the emphasis is on credibility and a real human connection rather than automated perfection.
Minutes Matter: Driver Recruiting Insights with Tenstreet CEO Tim Crawford
Q: What is the most impactful change in driver recruitment right now?
Responding quickly to applicants, especially within five minutes, dramatically increases hiring chances; app-based interactions are more effective because they keep drivers engaged in the context of their job search.
