In this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, host Jenni Ruiz sits down with Dan Lindsey—founder and president of the Broker Carrier Summit—for a raw, no-BS conversation about what’s really broken in freight, and how his grassroots movement is setting out to fix it. From the Marines to the freight trenches, Dan shares the parallels between military structure and logistics chaos, and how a deep hatred of complacency (and complainers) fueled the creation of what’s quickly become one of the most important gatherings in the industry.
We dig into the origin story of the Broker Carrier Summit, its explosive growth in just two years, and the launch of the BCS Freight Network—Dan’s vision for a trusted, transparent freight community that lasts beyond the handshake.
With the Spring Broker Carrier Summit just around the corner (April 29–May 2 in Indianapolis), this episode is your front-row seat to the movement brokers and carriers alike can’t stop talking about.
