Welcome back to another episode of In The Arena. This time we're joined by Cameron Robertson, CEO of 3PL Systems, a TMS provider based in Southern California.

It's about 2 hours long and full of nuggets of wisdom about how Cameron climbed from an entry level role all the way to CEO.

Rachel Premack is the editorial director at Freightwaves and the author of the Modes newsletter.

She's been a journalist for years and found her niche writing about logistics early in her career at Business Insider. Later she joined Freightwaves where she's been publishing badass articles ever since.

I very much enjoyed this episode, we talked for about 1.5 hrs then brought up folks from the audience for basically a free for all conversation.

We had a good time

This was a pretty lively and interesting roundtable, with plenty of great questions and commentary from the listeners and guests, especially on considerations you will not hear from the media about National Security, hacking, worker displacement, the speed with which this tech will eliminate jobs, lies and propaganda of the autonomous companies, and advice for truckers on how to think about what exactly is about to happen here, with implied messaging for what to do for your own future.

As always, questions, comments, and hate mail are welcomed and encouraged - you can email the show at: [email protected]

In this episode of The Arena, we are joined by Timothy Dooner, host of Freightwaves' What The Truck?!? (subscribe to their newsletter!)

We discuss:
- Jobs he's had in freight before starting WTT
- How he thinks about content
- Balancing creating good content with pleasing sponsors
- How he uses the show to network
- The future of online freight media
- Positioning yourself to benefit from shitposting


It was awesome talking to Dooner, he's normally doing the interviewing, so it was cool to turn the tables and get to ask him questions.
