What does it actually take to stay relevant as AI reshapes the workforce? In this episode of Inside Freight by Fifth Wheel Freight, we explore a simple but critical mindset shift: you won't be replaced by AI, but you may be replaced by someone who knows how to use AI well.

Nick Beukema, VP of Technology at Fifth Wheel Freight, breaks down how professionals across freight, logistics, and beyond can stop fighting AI and start directing it. He discusses how to identify which parts of your job are at risk of automation, practical first steps for getting comfortable with AI tools, why creativity will become the competitive bottleneck, and more.

Whether you're a broker, shipper, carrier, or logistics professional, this episode gives you an honest, practical take on working with AI rather than against it.
