I believe technology will change how freight moves. Building Cargado. Former founder/CEO of Forager 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 🇨🇦 (acq'd in Jan 2022 by Arrive Logistics).

Imagine you're the CFO of a Fortune 500 manufacturer who relies heavily on manufacturing in Mexico.

You've bought into the nearshoring trend, or maybe even helped establish it decades ago.

You just got hit with tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada and your margins are about to be torpedoed.

@hthieblot Xanga!

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

@lostisreed West Coast = Best Coast (at least for a few years in my brokering days)

Now I’d go with 2.

That said, you could easily spark quite the debate on how to split up the country by regions…

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

what about a CLI or an MCP so we can pull data using Claude Code or integrate it into @NotionHQ ?

I get why you've built this AI tool but everyone at this point is living/operating out of either Notion, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex to pull everything together across their entire org.

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

@bobbyloads Ask your customer if you can have the Mexico portion of that lane and quote and cover it using @Cargado_!

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

@jeff_weinstein @stripe C but with Claude Code + Google Sheets

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

@ThomasWasson No carrier wants to spend time digging through private load boards that aren’t well maintained.

The industry just needs a modern marketplace to actually create a more secure booking experience.

1/ Some things I've learned recently running coding agents on large-scale projects. Most of this contradicts advice from 6 months ago!

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

Now we're really cooking.

[Craig Fuller 🛩🚛🚂⚓️ @FreightAlley]

I think Cargado has declared Chattanooga > Chicago in their ads.

Sorry Matt Silver. Checkmate.

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

@FreightAlley Cargado not Cardago 🤦🏻‍♂️

Also I picked those lanes!

[Chase @chaseshake]

Been busy building (just, creatively) over at Cargado lately and it’s all coming together

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

@maybedanielleee @grok review each of those law firms and provide a ranking based on each firm's write-up about the SCOTUS ruling and anything else you can find about them on the internet.

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

I guess I could’ve said watermelons instead of pumpkins on vented dry vans.

There’s enough temp controlled freight going in both directions that produce season wouldn’t cause a surge in carriers bidding more aggressively for southbound freight.

A few weeks ago, 70 B1 drivers had their visas revoked due to cabotage. The freight they’re bidding on in Cargado represents true D2D southbound freight that would keep them away from committing cabotage.

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

@ajlatrace They should shut out realtors instead. How are realtors still necessary? They care more about scratching each others backs than getting their client the best deal.

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

@TMSuccessful This is why we built Cargado with all those unique details.

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

@BeaglTech @FreightAlley Produce goes on a reefer. This is mostly dry van capacity. This isn’t pumpkins on vented vans.

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

Like Guaranteed Primary, but for AI models instead of freight.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Introducing OpenAI Guaranteed Capacity: a new offering that enables customers to guarantee long-term access to OpenAI compute.

We’ve made long-term investments in infrastructure, partnerships, and capacity planning to help customers scale reliably.

Now, Guaranteed Capacity helps customers plan ahead for critical workloads in a compute-constrained world.

SCOTUS Montgomery v. Caribe isn’t “brokers are liable for everything.”

It’s a shift from “you can’t sue me” to “show me your process.”

Carrier selection now has to be defensible → more vetting + documentation, less WhatsApp-by-screenshot, and the sloppy/shady actors (brokers + carriers) get squeezed.

My full take:

[Matt Silver @MattSilver]

@maybedanielleee Yeah…. But what if it’s AI that raised a lot of money?
