This week’s guest is Kevin Zweier, Vice President of Transportation Practice at NTT, formerly Chainalytics. Long term listeners might recall that Kevin has actually been on the Freightvine 3 times: pre-pandemic in 2019, during the pandemic in 2021, and in the post pandemic in 2022. Now that we are apparently ending the pandemic induced TL market cycle, it is time to bring him back again to talk about how shippers’ TL Procurement strategies are, or should be, changing.
During our conversation, we discuss the current TL market cycle, the impact of low lane volume strategies on the RFP process, and how shippers are taking risk off the table when it comes to bids. Finally, we debate whether it is better to expand or contract a carrier base as the market starts to turn inflationary. It is always a great time to talk with one of the leading experts in freight transportation.
