In this episode of The Executive Eye by DRI, Tom Clark sits down with Mike Jarrett, Founder, President, and CEO of Jarrett Logistics Systems, to unpack the journey of building one of the nation's most forward-thinking logistics companies.
From his early career at Roadway Express and Caliber Logistics (now FedEx Supply Chain Services) to founding Jarrett in 1999, Mike shares how a commitment to core values, exceptional service, and continuous innovation helped transform a bold vision into a nationally recognized logistics powerhouse.
The conversation spans everything from the evolution of supply chain technology and AI-driven visibility platforms to the biggest customer pain points, shifting market dynamics, and the leadership mindset required to thrive in 2025 and beyond. Mike also offers candid insights into emerging trends, investment opportunities, and advice for the next generation of logistics entrepreneurs — plus, a surprising dive into his involvement with NASCAR.
Plus, a preview of what's to come at the Jarrett Logistics Summit on August 7th, where industry leaders will gather to discuss the future of supply chain innovation, collaboration, and strategy.
Whether you’re a supply chain leader, tech innovator, or just curious about the future of logistics, this episode delivers deep insight and actionable takeaways from one of the industry's most respected voices.
