Generally curious. Let’s say you’re a shipper with a DC in Atlanta. Massive import DC area. How do you get your containers to DC like your European description?

They executed the Amazon strategy perfectly. Losses galore until leader, they’re now a monopoly and can charge whatever they want.
We need competitors to come in and chip away. Otherwise prices will continue to rise and options/services will continue to decline.

Marks just saying next time you’re in town go to the richest and whitest area, which is only 20 to 75 min south of the city and you’ll be very safe and fine.

Gibbs would be top 5 in the league in all purpose yards if on a handful of other teams. With the lions resigning Monty I would be looking to leave Detroit if I were Gibbs. Campbell has stifled his potential.

Except it’s not for billionaires. Let’s say you start a company and it grows to a 100m valuation. You’re now on uncle Sam’s list. Every dollar that your company grows in worth after that is taxed at 25%. The problem is you’ve never had a liquid event. How do you come up with it?

Tin can homes that developers think they can sell just based off of sq ft. It’s every new home in Nashville. No vision or craftsmanship at all. Literally 3d printed looking homes.

Wut? 200k household with 1 kid. Need 2 br. 6k minimum rent in decent neighborhood. 2k food if you don’t won’t to eat brown rice and chicken 4 days a week. Now you have 3k left. Not that much.
Now 200k single is diff story.
@unusual_whales
Well here in Nashville sellers still think they can get 2021 prices so everything is at a stand still. That goes for people who bought pre 2019 so they will still make a hefty profit if they reduced to be affordable with rates.
Much cheaper to rent here than own right now.
@FreightAlley
I still don’t understand how they thought they would have a path to profitability. Simple napkin math tells you that’s not possible given their bloated payroll. 30 data scientists? 125 Seattle based engineers.
There’s not enough margin in brokering to ever pay for that.
@typesfast
Apparently they deemed a traffic light going in/out of Port of Houston as automation.
I’m not anti union at all, but we need to be implementing far more automation on our port infrastructure to stay competitive globally.
The East’s ports are decades ahead of us.
@typesfast
Congrats, I’ve heard their tech was/is amazing.
Is everything brokered through flexport and exposed into the marketplace or do you have shippers self service posting loads, matching with truckers too?
When it comes to increasing

in the drayage sector of trucking. One of the biggest factors is showing truckers that is actually in their benefit to reuse their empty containers for exporters loads instead of running them back empty.

Wow. Guys never had sawtelle ramen. Guys never had Mexico mexican food. Guys never had North Carolina bbq. Guys never had nyc pizza. Guys in a bubble.
@Andrew_Silver7
Feels like their investors can’t see a positive roi from transfix with brokerage model. Going for saas play to hopefully get a saas multiple? Great first customer for them.
Any idea what they sold the brokerage for to NFI?

A 20-40-% reduction on the federal payroll would make one of the biggest impacts on the national debt we’ve ever seen. And there would be literally a 0% dip in service. 100% for this.
I’m not sure who needs to hear this but we’re plum full of digital creators.
We need more doctors, teachers, truck drivers, plumbers, even waiters…not digital creators. We’re tapped out on digital creators.
Carry on

The policies and decisions made by the Biden administration in reaction to Covid absolutely buried this country. The worst administration in my lifetime by a long shot.

Ask any father whether he would rather have a son who stood by him to question a very very sketchy election
Or
A son who smokes crack, bangs his dead brothers wife, and “sells” paintings to foreign entities for 7 figures.

this guys scaling a laundry mat. Worth a follow.
I have to imagine you have to nail the location or nothing else matters. Needs to be in an area that obv has low units in home.
@freightcaviar
We need to code the freight gong into one of our slack channels. Every time a street turn occurs on
@QualleInc
we’ll be washed over by the warm and endearing sound of the gong hit.
@trentjhughes
Depends on role. Sales should always be atleast hybrid if you’re outbound. Very easy to see if the person is good, eg hitting numbers.
Ops, engineering, hr, etc…most in office
I was talking to a guy at a hotel lobby who looked up my LinkedIn and said “damn, you really started from the bottom to where you’re at now”
And I don’t know if that’s a compliment or insult 😂
