Our guest on this week's episode is Anne Reinke, president and CEO of TIA, The Transportation Intermediaries Association. Cargo theft and transportation fraud are on the rise.  Criminal groups and bad actors often pose as legitimate freight brokers and carriers with the aim of taking payments for services they will never fulfill. What can carriers and shippers do to be sure they are staying away from fraudsters and selecting legitimate transportation providers? Our guest has some suggestions. 

It may seem early, but now is the time to start evaluating your loading docks to see if they are prepped and ready for winter weather – at least for those companies operating in Northern climates, where snow and ice can cause safety and productivity challenges, as well as dampen the effects of those energy-saving measures so many warehouses are focused on these days.

We preview an upcoming article in DC Velocity's sister publication CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly  that discusses a number of high-level concepts that can guide or jumpstart how companies think about innovation and incorporating emerging technologies.  

CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.  The current series features Transportation Tech.
