1494. #TFCP - The Mid-Year Produce Squeeze: Navigating High-Velocity Summer Peak Lanes!

1mo ago35m
In this episode, we break down the current refrigerated freight market, the massive rate spikes coming out of California, and the mid-season produce update!
Joined by Cody Koehler from A&Z Trucking, our discussion focuses on the real-world operational challenges of managing a reefer fleet, including the impact of safety check weeks on truck capacity and the critical differences between non-domiciled and illegal CDL drivers.
We also explain how smart brokers can protect customers from market volatility through strong, dedicated carrier relationships built on fast payments, easy tracking, and mutual respect!
