1550. #TFCP - The AI Execution Layer: Operator-Built Freight Software!

Third-generation freight broker Connor Miller joins us to talk about the realities of scaling a freight agency and developing genuine technology in logistics! Connor breaks down his journey of taking his previous brokerage from $40 million to $130 million during the massive COVID surge, stepping away to build a self-sustaining nonprofit clinic in Uganda, and ultimately returning to the industry to found FreightScout. We also discuss practical freight broker automation, emphasizing the need for building workflow solutions that solve operational problems rather than forcing unproven software onto end users. Above all, we hammer home the point that no matter how advanced artificial intelligence becomes in the transportation sector, bulletproof customer relationships and the human element will always remain the true backbone of the freight business!
