In this episode of Logistics Unplugged, host Brian Blalock sits down with Jason Lockard of BlueGrace and Scooter Sayers of Cubiscan to tackle one of the biggest pain points in LTL shipping: inaccurate weights and dimensions.
With new NMFC changes putting even more emphasis on dimensional accuracy, the pressure is on for shippers to get their freight data right. Brian, Jason, and Scooter unpack the persistent disconnect between what’s planned and what actually ships—how missing or incorrect weights and measures can derail load planning, lead to misrouted freight, inflate invoice variances, and cut into profitability.
From stories on the dock to advances in dimensioning systems, this episode covers:
The growing impact of freight data discrepancies
How the latest NMFC updates are reshaping carrier expectations
Why dimensional scanning systems are now essential, not optional
How shippers are recovering major costs by tightening up their data
If you're a shipper, 3PL, or supply chain professional trying to navigate the evolving LTL landscape, this conversation is packed with real-world insight and solutions to help you stay ahead.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
