Dylan v. Goliath: The Freight Essentials RICO Case


Listen Later

"If anyone thinks that they know it all, they're in the wrong place." - Dylan Admire

The series of relationships that make the freight industry work is like a supply chain in and of itself. Under the freight agent model, agents help shippers find capacity through brokers who hold carrier contracts, facilitate financing and payments, and carry the MC number under which the agent operates.

When this model works well, everyone wins–but when it doesn't work as all of the parties expect, the fallout can be substantial.

In this week's Art of Supply interview, Kelly Barner speaks with Dylan Admire, CEO and Owner of Freight Essentials. His company has brought two RICO lawsuits against connected brokerages, claiming multi-party intent to defraud customers and business partners through anticompetitive tactics.

Listen to this episode to hear:

  • How the freight agent model is supposed to work–and what can happen if it doesn't work as everyone expects
  • The current status of his lawsuits and ideal outcome
  • Why he has made the decision to speak out when others might have stayed quiet
