80 years since D-Day

What’s going on people? Hope it’s been a good week for you.

Today is the 80th anniversary of D-Day AKA the Allied invasion of Normandy during WWII.

With hundreds of ships, hundreds of thousands of soldiers plus all the food and supplies to power the force, the logistics required to pull of this invasion was pretty staggering in scale.

It’s wild that a handful of the brave souls who were there that day are still with us.

The shirts look pretty good. Here’s a pic of me wearing it. Sales will stay open until EOD tomorrow.

Hot Capacity

If I were still brokering freight, I’d want to work with someone like my buddy and longtime LOST FR8 customer Jamie Hagen.

Here’s his capacity for the next week or so.

Hot Loads + Opportunities

We’ve got 2 channels in the Discord dedicated to connecting broker/shipper and carrier members. Many folks have told me they’ve made great connections in the Discord, so I hope you can take advantage of it.

Hot Loads is for spot freight.

Opportunities is for recurring & contract freight.

Sup on FreightX?

The Freightwaves Future of Supply Chain conference was this week. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend as I am expecting my next child imminently. Anywho, it looked like a good time.

I’m most upset I missed out on meeting Ross Kennedy and John Konrad, who I have gotten to know decently well through X. They’re both definitely worth a follow to learn about the maritime / global trade / global affairs world.
