Relationships Beat Automation in Trucking w/ Ed Burns | Nooner With Dooner
On this special quickie episode of Nooner With Dooner, “Big” Ed Burns of Burns Logistics stops by FreightSpin studio for a straight-talk conversation about what some of the biggest carriers and shippers are saying right now.
We dig into why strong relationships still beat automation every time, what Trump’s recent visit to Mack Trucks signaled for the industry, and the practical steps Ed takes to keep freight fraud from ever touching his partners.
Ed also breaks down how illegal foreign operators are eroded trust across the freight network and why so many fleets are struggling to find (and keep) good drivers right now.
Real talk from a logistics legend who’s been in the game long enough to know what actually works, only on Nooner With Dooner.
