The Please Advisor is here

Hey all,

Long time no talk. Been up to my eyeballs in stuff for the last couple weeks, so I’ve been slacking, but I’m back.

I’ve got no idea what’s going on with the market, but I’ve heard from some carrier friends that things are decent out there, you tell me.

I’m hoping for my carrier friend’s sake that the market starts to turn. I know there’s a lot of companies struggling out there and it’s been a years-long struggle, so an end to that wouldn’t be so bad. But we all know how that goes.

Anywho, we’ve got some good events coming up in the Discord that you’ll find out about below. Tech Bro Tuesday is still going strong, I have some Arena events in the works that will be very big, but take time, and Freight Gong Friday is still going strong as well.

As always, reach out to me with any feedback about events and lets have a good week.

I’ve added a jobs channel. If you’re looking for something, dump it in there, if your company is hiring, dump it in there as well.

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.

Freight Caviar Corner

Hurricane Barrels Houston. Plus, a Bank of America report highlights year-over-year changes in consumer spending, a Florida freight forwarding president is arrested, and FedEx considers changes to its LTL arm.

Freight Gong Friday

Every Friday at 9a EST, myself and the Freight Caviar guys livestream and discuss the goings on from the week. You can tune in on most social channels.

This week we have Desmond Clark from Bear Down Logistics

Sup on FreightX?

My sister is a lumper now. JK, but she’s now a pilot for a UPS contractor flying packages around NM. Pretty cool!
