Two Generations Perspective on Logistics | Dr. Zac Rogers

My guests today are Dr. Zac Rogers, Assistant Professor at Colorado State University in Supply Chain Management, and his father, Dr. Dale Rogers, Professor of Business at Arizona State University.

Which is surprising since I have known Dale through our joint involvement in the CSCMP for over 2 ...

He always applies rigorous data science and economic analysis to current situations - which is a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of hyperbolic commentary we see these days in both the industry and mainstream media.

Seth Clevenger | Managing Editor at Transport Topics

With over a decade at Transport Topics, Seth is an expert on how technology is transforming truck transportation. While those not involved in the industry might think that trucking is “low-tech” - everyone on this podcast knows that is simply not true. The level of tech in trucking has been growing exponentially. Today, owner operators have as much (if not more) technical capability than the drivers for the largest firms had just 5-10 years ago. In this conversation Seth and I will discuss how d...

Dealing with Rising Fuel Prices | Dean Croke

In this episode, we focus our discussion on one topic - the incredibly rapid rise in diesel prices.
