  • Episode #86 2023: A Personal Injury Attorney's Paradise with Joe Fried, Founding Partner of Fried Goldberg LLC

    Commercial trucking is an industry that requires at minimum $1,000,000 worth of automobile liability coverage just to operate due to the likelihood of a costly claim. Within the supply chain, the narrative of settlements and nuclear verdicts are normally told from the perspective of the motor carriers and/or brokerages deemed at fault. It is with great honor that the Transportation & Logistics Clubhouse welcomes Joe Fried ★★★★★ of Fried Goldberg LLC to bring perspective from the other side of the coin.

  • Episode #82 How Are Freight Brokerages Vetting Its Carriers? It's Highway or... The Highway! w/ Reid Clements of Highway

    Over the past few years, motor carrier fraud has been at an all time high. The repercussions of these incidents have included wasted resources (primarily time and money) of the brokerage and, in some cases, the opportunity for that brokerage to facilitate future freight opportunities for those customers. We welcome Reid Clements of Highway to discuss how leveraging their platform is an efficient way for brokers and shippers to seamlessly vet their carrier base to mitigate issues before they ever happen.
