Why the Business of Trucking is Harder Than the Driving with Adam Wingfield

Episode notes

Most owner-operators know how to drive. The part that trips them up is running the business. Adam Wingfield has spent over twenty years helping small carriers close that gap. In this episode of Behind the Freight, the founder of Innovative Logistics Group explains why the industry sees such a high failure rate - and what it actually takes to build an operation that holds up over time. He covers Roadcheck Week compliance, how to use AI to find gaps in your rate negotiations, and why understanding the freight market cycle is the difference between surviving a downturn and getting wiped out by one.
