Supply Chain Decoded | Feat. Corey Abbott, PortPro

In this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, host Jenni Ruiz sits down with Corey Abbott, Chief Growth Officer at PortPro, to dive into one of the most overlooked yet essential links in the supply chain: drayage. From his early days in corporate IT at XPO to leading AI transformation at PortPro, Corey brings a rare blend of technical fluency and logistics expertise. He explains why drayage—long plagued by spreadsheets, missed appointments, and paper-heavy workflows—is finally getting the tech overhaul it deserves. The key? AI agents purpose-built for drayage operations. Corey breaks down how PortPro’s agentic AI is eliminating repetitive tasks, streamlining communication with BCOs, and enabling teams to plan smarter. With a marketplace of new automation tools dropping every week, PortPro is arming drayage companies with the tech needed to boost margins during down markets—and scale fast when volumes rebound. Whether you're a shipper, carrier, or broker, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the current drayage landscape and the future of automation in supply chain logistics. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.
