To all my intermodal followers: Time to buy tickets to #Inland24 in Chicago from September 30 to October 2. If you like, share, read, or consume my international or domestic intermodal coverage in any way, then this is the event for you. This is where I tie it all together and talk with freight forwarders, draymen, intermodal marketing companies (IMCs)/private asset-owning intermodal providers, and Class I railroads about where the industry is today. It's an excellent opportunity to prepare yourself to launch an RFP for 2025.
William Cassidy is going to moderate several interesting sessions on truckload and LTL. Eric Johnson is going to have a tech track. And we're going to tackle one of the biggest issues we hear about: cargo security.
William Cassidy will moderate a panel to discuss combating the phishing attempts and fictitious pickups plaguing brokers and shippers in the last 18 months.
I'll moderate a session with BNSF Railway's Police Chief, Shane Blair of Knight-Swift Transportation, and others on seal breaks on intermodal containers, a thorn in the side of exporters and domestic shippers alike.
Our keynotes are on October 1: Adam Miller, CEO of Knight-Swift Transportation to talk everything truckload and LTL; October 2: Phil Yeager of Hub Group to talk intermodal rail, dedicated trucking, contract logistics/warehousing, and truck brokerage.
For those coming for Inland Academy on Sept. 30, we've got Spencer Frazier of J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. teaching a class on customer service representatives -- i.e. CSRs -- how to get the right CSR who suits your needs, and what should you do when your CSR is not meeting your expectations.
Just so many reasons why you should buy a ticket to #Inland24.
Hope to see you there. Say hello. Introduce yourself to me.
Message me if you have questions.
