Dr. Jason Miller is the guest on this episode.  If you are in the truckload space, you are probably very familiar with Jason’s many blogs on LinkedIn covering all aspects of trucking, supply chain management, and the general economy.  He always applies rigorous data science and economic analysis to current situations - which is a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of hyperbolic commentary we see these days in both the industry and mainstream media.   

In our conversation we discuss what happened to retail during the pandemic, the impact of rising fuel prices and inflation in general, recent news on soaring inventory levels, and we even try to answer the question “where is the bloodbath?”.  Jason often takes a contrarian view on things - so this leads to a very interesting conversation.
