Manage episode 334382041 series 2524271
This week’s guest is Tracy Rosser, Executive Vice President, Operations at Transplace. Tracy has been in the industry for almost 30 years at a carrier, a retailer (WalMart), and now at a premiere 3PL (Transplace). In our conversation, Tracy discusses the differences and similarities of working at a 3PL versus a shipper, how the pandemic actually improved transportation management at many firms, and how important it is to consistently remove waste from supply chains and transportation - namely empty miles and excessive dwell. We also touch upon how to handle low-volume lanes and the potential fate of owner operators in this deflationary market.
