Hold on tight as we take a white-knuckle ride through the recent collapse of freight tech titan, Convoy. What could be causing such a giant to fall? Theories abound - could it be due to heavy reliance on venture capital funding, or the consequence of their strategy to undercut prices? We'll dissect the situation, drawing lessons from the fiasco and looking at the broader implications for the freight industry. Plus, we'll shed light on how savvy freight brokers can turn this turmoil to their advantage. 

A recent tweet from Craig Fuller has sent shockwaves through the industry, predicting the impending failure of other freight tech platforms. We dig into this, exploring the truth behind his claims. Taking a leaf from history, we'll also delve into the story of Yellow, another freight broker whose downfall offers valuable lessons for surviving in this wild west of freight tech. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom! We'll also bring you updates on our exciting work and travel schedules, as well as a sneak peek into what's next for our Freight Broker Live series. Join us for this riveting exploration into the highs and lows of the freight tech landscape.
