In this episode, Andrew talks to Brad Perling, CEO and co-founder of Bitfreighter. Brad was an aerospace major waiting to get into air traffic control school when he became an early employee at Calvary Logistics. He says that’s where he got his freight MBA, working up from carrier rep to general manager. Frustrated by the lack of options when it came to EDI technology, this former broker is now building another cost-saving option for integration technology in Bitfreighter, named to FreightWaves’ 2024 FreightTech 25 awards.

Andrew and Brad cover:

• When brokerages should invest in building their own tech versus buying it
• If you can build truly differentiated technology without prior brokerage experience
• Is EDI dying? Its role in modern logistics and the role Bitfreighter is playing
• Fostering company culture in a remote working environment
• The challenges of bootstrapping a tech business
