What are the top conferences you attend for growing your business, and what makes them valuable to you? Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Arizona Trucking Association's Annual Meeting and Carrier Conference. My primary goal was to dive deeper into industry trends and connect with leaders in the trucking space. I was impressed by how welcoming and collaborative the community was—it made networking feel natural and insightful. Curious to hear from others: which conferences or events have been game-changers for your business?

The number of apps an asset is required to use, in order to provide tracking data to broker customers varies. Brokers are increasingly insisting that assets use their apps to guarantee business. It is debatable whether a broker should demand such visibility and, if so, whether this should be a direct cost charged to the broker, considering they only require proof of delivery. Thoughts?

Being in logistics has a way of educating us. I can honestly say that if I were not, I'd probably be doing the same thing... Due to the strike, we are seeing mass panicking and purchasing of household goods, such as tissue and paper towels. However, we manufacturer majority of these supplies domestically. I've heard several members of my family tell me I should go and purchase some. To be fair, I probably will, only because when we actually need some, we won't be able to purchase it at our normal stores because everyone has OBLITERATED the supply!!! Instead of logistics, we should all sell common household supplies for when everyone panics 😂 What has caught your attention about the strike?

That is the question, and I have been working on it from many different angles. I have managed over $100 million when working for a corporation and have created extreme goals for my partner and me. Because I believe in what I do, I know what I have done, and therefore, there is no reason why this can not be attained. I have everything in place and am ready to pull the trigger. Have you ever seen the movie Lethal Weapon? When Pesci says, "Hi, I'm Leo Getz. Whatever Leo wants, Leo Getz, get it!" I replaced Leo with Cowboy. If you want something bad enough, you go all in. Going in means you are willing to take the hits and rejections and laugh off the doubters, haters, and skeptics. You do not last 40 years in the logistics by being weak. My advice to all who read this is that you'll face immense challenges in this industry. What you do with adversity when it hits will either make or break you. Don't let any barrier or obstacle stop you from your dreams, go out there and crush that shit!
