  • Trucking Is in Cheema Freightlines’ Blood
    Oct 29 2024

    The recovery of the truckload market may be around the corner, but the pace will likely be slow and steady in the months ahead as slack capacity gradually exits. This should help drive a better freight-rate environment next year. In this Talking Transports podcast, Harman Cheema, Cheema Freightlines’ CEO, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share insights about the state of trucking market from his perspective as a midsize carrier operating in the western US. Cheema Freightlines is the 38th-largest truckload carrier, according to Transport Topics, and has both asset-based and non-asset operations. Cheema also discusses fraud, the additional costs that come with greener equipment and his early beginning in the trucking industry as a teenager working for his father.

  • Arrive’s CEO on Building a Better Broker
    Oct 15 2024

    The brokerage industry continues to leverage technology to improve processes, productivity and profitability. It will also help drive costs per load down, which can help brokers win share on price without sacrificing margins, and that could help consolidate the top end of the market. In this Talking Transports podcast, Matt Pyatt, CEO and founder of Arrive Logistics, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share his insights into how technology coupled with the company’s sales culture has helped fueled its explosive organic growth over the past decade. Pyatt expects a similar brokerage market next year to one seen this year, but with slightly better margins. He also discusses his entrepreneurial spirit, leading a data-centric company, fighting fraud and how a date at a BBQ joint landed the woman of his dreams.
