  • Supply Chain Decoded | Feat. Taylor Walker & Michael Kennedy, Loadsure
    Jul 9 2025
    Insurance might not be the sexiest topic in freight—but it should be. In this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, host Jenni Ruiz sits down with Taylor Walker, Chief Insurance Officer at Loadsure, and Michael Kennedy, VP of Partnerships, to unpack one of the most misunderstood (and mission-critical) aspects of logistics: cargo insurance. Together, they decode the difference between hard and soft insurance markets, the rise of theft and fraud in 2025, and why too many brokers are unknowingly flying blind on coverage. They break down what a truly tech-powered, usage-based model looks like—and how it’s saving brokers serious money and margin. Spoiler: you can set it up in under a minute. You’ll also hear why almonds are a hot theft target, what happens when hay combusts, and how rejected strawberries can derail a week. If you're a freight broker still relying on outdated policies, this episode might just save your business. Key Topics: • Why insurance cycles don’t always mirror freight cycles • How theft, impersonation, and fraud are rewriting risk models • The rise of on-demand cargo insurance and holistic freight protection • What brokers get wrong about liability (and how to fix it) • Real claims stories—from nuts to railcar fires • Why tech-forward doesn’t mean mega-fleet only This is the freight insurance episode you didn’t know you needed—until now. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

  • Supply Chain Decoded | Feat. Corey Abbott, PortPro
    Jul 1 2025
    In this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, host Jenni Ruiz sits down with Corey Abbott, Chief Growth Officer at PortPro, to dive into one of the most overlooked yet essential links in the supply chain: drayage. From his early days in corporate IT at XPO to leading AI transformation at PortPro, Corey brings a rare blend of technical fluency and logistics expertise. He explains why drayage—long plagued by spreadsheets, missed appointments, and paper-heavy workflows—is finally getting the tech overhaul it deserves. The key? AI agents purpose-built for drayage operations. Corey breaks down how PortPro’s agentic AI is eliminating repetitive tasks, streamlining communication with BCOs, and enabling teams to plan smarter. With a marketplace of new automation tools dropping every week, PortPro is arming drayage companies with the tech needed to boost margins during down markets—and scale fast when volumes rebound. Whether you're a shipper, carrier, or broker, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the current drayage landscape and the future of automation in supply chain logistics. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

  • Supply Chain Decoded | Feat. Jesse Buckingham, Vooma
    Jun 25 2025
    In this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, host Jenni Ruiz sits down with Jesse Buckingham, co-founder of Vooma—the platform that’s redefining what it means to scale a freight business with AI. Jesse’s no stranger to the logistics industry, having previously led companies like Trucker Tools and Record360. Now, he’s building AI agents that slot directly into the workflows of logistics teams, taking on the tedious, repetitive tasks that slow brokers down. Jesse shares the vision behind Vooma’s orchestration platform, why their "launch week" strategy took the industry by storm, and how AI agents are being personified—literally—as indispensable team members. He also breaks down what it really means to trust automation in an industry that thrives on control, and why visibility, communication, and cost per load are being fundamentally transformed. This is a must-listen for logistics leaders evaluating AI investments, grappling with adoption, or just looking to get out of email hell. Plus, hear Jesse’s take on what most companies get wrong when implementing new tech—and what separates the good operators from the great. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.
