Research Results from ATRI and the meet and greet session and Supply Chain/Intermodal Operations
I was most excited about seeing so many folks that I haven’t seen in a few years (pre-covid). Otherwise, the ATRI research presentation was one I enjoyed the most.
All the speakers were fantastic and informative.
Networking Learning the complexities of a trucking company
The first session learning from three industry veterans on the state of the transportation market.
The presenters were very knowledgeable about the subjects. I liked the Claim presentation the most as it gave information on how to help avoid the reptilian theory losses.
