Matt Parry, Senior VP of Logistics at Werner joins us today to talk about how asset based brokerages add value and access to smaller carrier’s freight networks. With decades of experience and thousands of trucks, these brokerages can provide additional benefits compared to digital asset light brokerages in terms of customer mix, technology solutions, equipment assistance, and trained staff with backgrounds in fleet operations.
