REPOST: The Flock Freight Story with Oren Zaslansky

Oren Zaslansky and Joe Lynch discuss the Flock Freight story. Oren is the Founder and CEO of Flock Freight, a Certified B Corporation that's been reinventing freight shipping since 2015. [podcast src="https://play.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/26478612/height/192/theme/modern/size/large/thumbnail/yes/custom-color/4c4ca4/time-start/00:00:00/playlist-height/200/direction/backward/download/yes" height="192" width="100%" scrolling="no" class="podcast-class" frameborder="0" placement="top" use_download_link="" download_link_text="" primary_content_url="https://chtbl.com/track/53D5B3/traffic.libsyn.com/thelolpodcast/TheBiggestRiskFacingTruckDrivers_mixdown.mp3" theme="custom" custom_color="4C4CA4" libsyn_item_id="26478612" /] About Oren Zaslansky Raised by parents who worked for a van line and later started their own freight forwarders, Oren has deep-seated roots in logistics and entrepreneurship. At 21, he founded a 125-truck fleet that provided white-glove freight service throughout the U.S. and Canada. His subsequent venture, SolSource Logistics, continues to operate today, with Oren serving as chairman. SolSource Logistics opened Oren's eyes to how wasteful traditional freight shipping is. He became determined to find a new approach by building a technology-driven solution. Flock Freight (formerly AuptiX) opened its doors in 2015, driven by Oren's vision of using technology to combine multiple shipments into one multi-stop shared truckload. Under Oren's leadership, Flock Freight continu es to rapidly grow while creating a new standard of service for shippers, increasing revenue for carriers, and eliminating the impact of carbon emissions through the patented shared truckload solution, FlockDirect™. About Flock Freight Flock Freight is a Certified B Corporation that's been reinventing freight shipping since 2015. Flock Freight leverages its advanced, first-to-market algorithms that pool shipments and fill trucks at scale to create a new standard of service for shippers and increase revenue for carriers. Flock Freight's shared truckload solution eliminates the need for terminals and is the only carbon-neutral shipping option with all emissions accounted for through carbon offsets supporting freight-related efficiency projects. Flock Freight is headquartered in Encinitas, CA with an additional office in Chicago, IL. Key Takeaways: The Flock Freight Story Oren Zaslansky is the Founder and CEO of Flock Freight, where he and his team are driving industry change and powering shared truckload service with top-tier talent and advanced algorithms. In the podcast interview, Oren shares his entrepreneurial story and the founding of Flock Freight. Flock Freight provides an alternative to less-than-truckload shipping, which has traditionally been expensive, slow, and more likely to damage freight compared to truckload shipping. Shippers and 3PLs have always converted some number of LTL shipments to multi-stop or shared truckload shipments, but the approach was scattershot and process was very manual. As investments in freight tech grew, the number of multi-stop shipments increased, however there were no purpose built tech or companies dedicated to multi-stop truckload shipments until Flock Freight. For Shippers: Flock Freight moves shipper freight via shared truckload, combining it with other freight into one multi-stop truckload. Flock Freight gives midsize freight shippers an efficient, cost-effective way to move their goods. For Carriers: Flock Freight helps carriers maximize their revenue by booking high-paying shared truckloads online in seconds. Carriers earn higher profits for the same amount of work by combining multiple shipments moving in the same direction to minimize half-empty trucks and deadhead miles. Most trucks are moving with trailers that are only partially full – Flock Freight can help them earn more revenue by filling up their truck with good paying freight. For the Environment: Flock Freight shipments move via shared truckload, skipping the inefficient LTL hub and spoke system and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40%. Flock takes the remaining 60% and offset it by supporting projects with Carbonfund.org, making Flock Freight the only carbon neutral shipping option available to shippers at no extra cost. Flock Freight is a B Corp, which means they meet the highest standards of verified levels of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

Tomorrow.io was built from the ground up to help teams prepare for the business impact of weather by automating decision-making and enabling climate adaptation at scale. Key Takeaways: The Biggest Risk Facing Truck Drivers Dan Slagen is the Chief Marketing Officer at Tomorrow.io, the world's weather and climate security platform, helping countries, businesses, and individuals manage their weather and climate security challenges. In the podcast interview, Dan Slagen and Joe Lynch discuss the biggest risk facing truck drivers. Weather or more accurately the lack of weather-related intelligence and alerts is the biggest risk for drivers. Approximately 20% of accidents are caused by weather events such as sleet, snow, heavy rain, fog, and high winds. Traditional weather services are not accurate enough or targeted enough to be useful for truck drivers who potentially drive through multiple weather systems and climates every day. The cost of weather-related accidents, delays, inventory damage, service failures, and hour of service problems for drivers are enormous, but there hasn't been a push to improve because nobody can control the weather. While we can't control the weather, we can do a better job of planning around the weather – avoiding all those weather-related problems. Tomorrow.io has developed a weather intelligence and climate security platform that is custom-built to help logistics and transportation companies reduce the impact of weather on their operations. Carriers using Tomorrow.io's weather and climate security platform are reducing weather related risk and improving the lives of truck drivers. Tomorrow.io customers make better decisions because they a have better weather intelligence. Better weather-related decisions reduce accidents, insurance costs, shipment delays, and makes the lives of drivers safer and easier.

Beyond Electric Vehicles with Tucker Perkins

Tucker Perkins and Joe Lynch discuss beyond electric vehicles. Tucker is the President and CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit that invests in the research and development of propane-powered innovation and promotes the safe, efficient use of propane through safety training and education programs. About Tucker Perkins Tucker Perkins is the President and CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC). Perkins joined PERC in 2015 as Chief Business Development Officer and was promoted to Chief Operating Officer before the Council named him President and CEO in 2018. A Virginia Tech graduate in civil engineering, Perkins earned his MBA from the University of Richmond. Perkins is a dynamic and relatable leader who has amplified propane's voice in the national energy conversation as a frequent keynote speaker on energy-related topics. Tucker is also host of the podcast, Path to Zero, in which he engages energy thought leaders in provocative discussions regarding energy and the environment and the path to zero carbon emissions. About PERC The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) is a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit that invests in the research and development of propane-powered innovation and promotes the safe, efficient use of propane through safety training and education programs. PERC is operated and funded by the propane industry, and its programs benefit a variety of markets including transportation, agriculture, commercial landscaping, residential, and commercial building. Key Takeaways: Beyond Electric Vehicles Tucker Perkins is the President and CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC). In the podcast interview, Tucker and Joe discuss beyond electric vehicles. There are many challenges facing the transportation and logistics industry regarding reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting sustainability goals. Propane is a cleaner, greener option that is often overlooked. There are many advantages to using propane in transportation and logistics including: Propane fuel has a lower carbon content than conventional gasoline and diesel fuel. When used as a vehicle fuel, propane can offer life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions benefits over conventional fuels, depending on vehicle type, age, and drive cycle. Propane exhaust is also colorless and almost odorless, making it ideal for locations where air quality is a concern. Diesel engines may be prohibited in certain areas due to their emissions. A propane engine is also quieter than diesel and gasoline engines. Propane is frequently used to replace gasoline in smaller off-road applications, such as forklifts and commercial lawn equipment, and it provides benefits like those achieved in on-road vehicles. The potential for lower maintenance costs is one reason behind propane's popularity for use in light- and medium-duty vehicles, such as trucks and taxis, and for heavy-duty vehicles, such as school buses. Propane vehicles have been widely used and refined for decades, and a propane vehicle's power, acceleration, and cruising speed are like those of conventionally fueled vehicles. The Propane Education & Research Council is a nonprofit that provides leading propane safety and training programs and invests in research and development of new propane-powered technologies. PERC is operated and funded by the propane industry. PERC programs benefit a variety of markets including transportation, agriculture, commercial landscaping, residential, and commercial building.
