Steering through the “longest challenging” freight recession

 

Anyone who keeps up with the NTI blog knows that NTI President and CEO Leah Shaver regularly hosts FreightWaves’ Taking the Hire Road show — but in a recent episode, she sat down in the guest seat for an interview with DriverReach founder Jeremy Reymer. Their discussion centered around what Leah described as the “longest challenging” freight recession, covering topics such as: 

➡️ Navigating increased expenses, including driver pay

➡️ Strategies for articulating your fleet’s value to shippers 

➡️ The impact of elections on economic activity 

➡️ What fleets and professional drivers are saying 

➡️ The importance of clear and effective communication with both customers and employees

Watch the full episode above.
