This week’s guest is Dr. Angi Acocella, a Research Scientist here at MIT’s Center for Transportation & Logistics and a key member of the MIT FreightLab. Angi was last on the Freightvine in the fall of 2021 - 4 years ago - when she was a doctoral student. A lot has changed over that time and after a post-doc in the Netherlands, Angi is back at MIT doing great research exploring shipper-broker-carrier relationships within the full truckload industry. For this conversation, I have asked Angi to describe some of her more recent work to include the idea of Ghost Lanes, Network segmentation and transportation portfolio management, Predicting truckload market cycles, and, finally, the idea of whether shippers and carriers are Elephants or Goldfish. That is, do they remember how they were treated in one part of the business cycle after the market turns - or not. All of Angi’s work is both theoretically rigorous and immediately applicable to actual transportation procurement and management.
