  • I listen EVERYDAY!

    I learned about this guys through the TIA and stumbled across their podcast. I listened to one of the episodes and was completely hooked. Nate and Ben give great advice for both new and experienced freight brokers. I make it a point to listen to an episode before I start my day and when I am winding down. Do yourself a favor and start with episode #124: Setting Goals if you are looking for practical advice to get started and measure yourself!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

No, Highway Is Not Secretly Flagging You | Final Mile 161
Q: Is it true that carriers now get flagged by Highway if they take time off and don't drive for a few days or a week?
No. The carrier is not flagged. If a truck has not sent ELD data for several days, its connection can appear inactive. Starting the truck can restore the connection, and a broker may ask for that before tracking a load.
No, Highway Is Not Secretly Flagging You | Final Mile 161
Q: How do I find carriers to move containers from a port to my yard?
Search regionally for drayage or intermodal carriers with UIIA access, confirm they handle the relevant shipping line and location, and arrange the move ahead of time because carriers work to port and rail schedules. Confirm pickup responsibilities and deadlines in writing because missing the last free day can trigger substantial charges.
Stop Freight Fraud At Pickup (With QuikSkope) | Episode 361
Q: How does the tracking part work now? Did you guys have to go to an actual downloadable application or how does that work?
Matt and Pat explain that the product now uses an app to enable real-time tracking, alongside the verification tools, and offers different usage levels for customers.
Stop Freight Fraud At Pickup (With QuikSkope) | Episode 361
Q: What's the roadmap been like, where is the product at now, and how is it going to work for folks moving forward?
Pat explains that QuikSkope began as a geofenced, photo-based verification step and expanded in response to customer feedback. Version 2 adds tracking, document collection, and layered equipment and driver checks.
What A Healthy Freight Profit Margin Looks Like | Final Mile 160
Q: Should I hire a recruiter or use a headhunter for agents?
If you want a few agents, a headhunter or doing it yourself may be better; for a large, long-term agent program, you should have a full-time recruiter internally to run and scale the program.
