In episode 2 of Freight People Podcast, we’re kicking things off with a bang: What is a TMS, and why should freight people actually care?
Host Ava Barnes sits down with two Alvys veterans — Jordan Kidd and Lucas Allasia — who’ve both done it all in trucking: dispatch, recruiting, brokerage, you name it. They’ve lived the chaos and now help carriers run smarter with modern tech.
We break down:
