I didn't go to work because a cat fell on my head and then a dog with shoes tried to do me justice.

I just saw footage of the Kings protecting businesses from looters along with the CPD. Gangs working with the police in Chicago? 2020 is wild. #ChicagoRiots

Quote of the day from @JOC_Events Emerging Tech Summit today: "My tweets are not that powerful!' by @LogTechEric

[Abtin Hamidi @abtinh]

https://t.co/wbBNCnOZMe @LogTechEric @FreightAlley @FreightWaves Agreed! We've been talking about an alleged "capacity crunch" since 2014, but we have plenty of data that suggests the opposite

@LogTechEric What’s a “book”?

[Santosh Sankar ⚡ @santoshsankar]

@FreightAlley @LogTechEric @eyefortransport @abtinh I have held a belief that digitization will begin with a phase where disruptive new entrants will look similar to an incumbent

Before the innovators dilemma sets in, they would need to build a proprietary stack that drives scale, op leverage, and superior service

[Abtin Hamidi @abtinh]

@FreightAlley @santoshsankar @LogTechEric @eyefortransport Tech is cheaper and easier to build than ever. The real challenge is knowing what problem you want to solve and building a stack around it

[Eric Johnson @LogTechEric]

Digital freight matching has gained ground on the back of replacing spot buying, but what if it starts to replace contract? Brokers said this week at the @eyefortransport 3PL Summit that's the next phase. https://t.co/UqthoQVbDE

[Eric Johnson @LogTechEric]

Logistics startup founders often get knocked for their bravado but in my experience they’re also insanely intellectually curious about the industry they’re in. They often tear deep into its history to understand more about its present and future.

[Eric Johnson @LogTechEric]

This seems to substantiate those murmurs. Warburg knows logistics - they've backed GT Nexus which was later merged acquired by @Infor). Their existing portfolio includes stakes in @MyBlueGrace and TMS provider @MercuryGate and India trucking startup rockstars @RivigoLogistics. /3

[Eric Johnson @LogTechEric]

Like a phoenix: @CargomaticHQ has snared a $35 million Series B led by Warburg Pincus. This company looked down and out a couple years ago, a cautionary tale of tech not being able to fix every logistics problem. /1
