@SteveMcIsaac @thefreightnerd Curious how that would be any different than a w2 brokerage agents are still using the agent programs insurance; vetting policies; etc. Armstrong, global tranz aren’t done for and neither are other agent programs especially ones in the top 150 in my opinion.

[matt @kidfreight]

@blythebrum @FreightAlley I think this depends on size as well. I don’t think Armstrong agencies are going anywhere or priority 1 or global trans or really any agent program 125-150m+, but ya agents tied to small agent programs might be in trouble.

@TimothyDooner @kadavy Hahahaha😂

[matt @kidfreight]

@FreightAlley Is it more freight tech founders? This is probably an unpopular take, but in my experience Tech executives and founders are on average much more arrogant than brokerage owners .

[matt @kidfreight]

@chaseshake Super sad. I always thought Guadalajara was one of the safer parts of Mexico, if I didn’t go to Bolivia this was my 2nd choice.

[matt @kidfreight]

@TimothyDooner Ya it was 70 when I was in Minnesota for Christmas then when I come back becomes terrible for awhile, although you guys totally overhyped that storm all it was was rain 😂

[matt @kidfreight]

Think I am adjusting to Chattanooga a little too much, it’s 60 and I am golfing and feel a little cold wishing I wore long sleeves. In Minnesota 47 felt warm for t shirt and shorts.

[matt @kidfreight]

@hellbenthagen Hahahah fair point and yes😂

[matt @kidfreight]

@reach_south @george_mole Agreed Bucarmanga is much better I spent months there.

[matt @kidfreight]

@bold_perception Your from Minnesota?

[matt @kidfreight]

@maybedanielleee Minnesota has a lot of problems glad I moved to TN

[matt @kidfreight]

@tedalling Just moved here in August couldn’t agree more!

[matt @kidfreight]

@adamlwingfield I am surprised I live in Chattanooga and use it 10-15 times a week and haven’t had this happen yet.

[matt @kidfreight]

Uber driver in Chattanooga is coo of 300 truck fleet also decent size brokerage, but suprsingly said brokerage isn’t holding them up they are running 86 percent contract freight on asset side. And doing well.

[matt @kidfreight]

His big is bribery in brokerage? Just had a friend win 150-200 loads a week because the shipper found out his whole team was getting bribed by the former brokerage . They were paying 2k for 100 mile runs now my friend is getting it all at cost plus 20 percent.

[matt @kidfreight]

@robcarpenter How would Florida be the best drivers🤣🤣

[matt @kidfreight]

@FreightAlley They move 200 loads a month and are clueless on a lot of basic stuff imo.

[matt @kidfreight]

@FreightAlley Even if this is true think you can still build a 300-400m business on smb though several out there who aren’t enterprise dependent.

[matt @kidfreight]

@FreightAlley I’d also add a lot of smb shippers don’t even know what a tms is my sisters husband is CFO for steel company dad is owner we’ve had conversations ar family events and they don’t even know what a tms is.

Don’t think shippers like that are paying attention to this.
