It's long been the backbone of construction, but lumber goes beyond its practical uses. It also serves as a key market indicator and an important one for freight particularly. Joining us on the latest InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast to discuss its vital role is Kyle Little, COO of Sherwood Lumber.
Kyle shares why lumber reflects economic conditions, where its pricing stands today and the very familiar (for freight watchers) cycle it's been through over the past few years. He tells us how Sherwood moves its products and the importance of a functioning supply chain.
We discuss the connection between lumber and home building - and renovations - and he offers his thoughts on the Fed and how interest rates may affect things going forward. What's the outlook? Kyle sees some positive signs over the next several months but also sees pricing at a current low. Follow @lumberlittle on X/Twitter for more from Kyle, and visit www.sherwoodlumber.com for more on the business.

Insuring the Freight 48:45

منذ 4 أيام48:45

48:45

Freight moves domestically and across borders every day using various combinations of road, rail, ship, etcetera, but one thing all that freight - and all the providers who have a stake in it - have in common is insurance. On the latest episode of The Intermodal Logistics Podcast, guest Mark Vickers, EVP of International Logistics for Reliance Partners, discusses cargo insurance - including what it is, why it's needed, why coverage depends on the situation and how it's influenced by outside factors. He particularly spotlights Borderless Coverage, a product he initially came up with to cover valuable freight beyond the U.S. borders and into Mexico and Canada - all with one policy. Mark tells us about the security issues facing cross-border freight and the prior lack of coverage options. He also talks about over the top coverage options for specific scenarios like high value freight or cargo normally not shipped by a particular provider. And he explains why strong insurance can be a differentiator in winning business, even if it means a freight provider's bid is a bit higher. We also discuss potential tariff impacts on the industry as well as inflation - which not only impacts everyone's bottom line but also makes a difference as to the type of cargo thieves target. Learn more about Reliance Partners at https://reliancepartners.com/ and look up Mark on LinkedIn here https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-vickers-a90a6710/ for more from him.

Leading TIA 40:40

منذ 16 يومًا40:40

40:40

The new leader of the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) already knows the lay of the land, so he's hit the ground running tackling membership priorities. President and CEO Chris Burroughs began leading TIA in November, after his predecessor Anne Reinke took the leadership spot with the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA) - see and hear more from her on our previous episode of the Intermodal Logistics Podcast. But unlike many new CEOs, Chris had already spent more than 13 years with his organization, and he tells us on this edition how that background - including the earlier days of TIA with fewer staff - helped him wear many hats and gave him a broad understanding of how things work. Since taking over leadership, Chris says TIA's continued focusing on a problem that's not going away - fraud, navigating the transition from the Biden to Trump administrations in the process. He continues to see getting exposure in Washington D.C. as key to helping the association's priorities, which also include nuclear verdicts arising from accidents involving commercial trucks, owner-operator definitions and more. Plus, Chris tells us about TIA's focus on expanding its continuing education offerings - many of which are free to members. And, we hear about the Capital Ideas Conference, with the 2025 edition taking place in San Antonio this April. Learn more about the TIA at its website, www.tianet.org , where you can also find registration information and more about the conference.

Leading IANA 45:47

Taking over a new organization is always a challenge, but Anne Reinke is ready to face it head-on when it comes to running the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA). Anne joins us on The Intermodal Logistics Podcast about a month into her tenure as IANA President and CEO following four years in the same role with the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA). She tells us about her background, including how she got into the industry, her love of railroads that started with her time at CSX, and how that helped lead her to IANA. We discuss the challenge of replacing a longtime leader like Joni Casey, who headed up the association for about 27 years, and how she's worked to get the lay of the land by talking with just about all IANA's staff and board members in her first month. Anne goes over the challenges facing intermodal as it looks to gain market share - with a big one being awareness. She talks about plans to increase marketing efforts as well as raising IANA's advocacy profile in Washington - to get the road and rail mode a seat at the table in transportation discussions. For more on IANA, visit www.intermodal.org , where you can also register to become a member, access learning resources that are only expected to grow, and find out about the association's upcoming Business Meeting.

In Appreciation of the Chassis 48:36

منذ 7 weeks48:36

48:36

It's the base of intermodal container movement and a necessity for dray trucks' ability to transport boxes to their final destination. It's the chassis, so consider this a chassis appreciation episode of the Intermodal Logistics Podcast. To explain all it does and how the chassis system in the U.S. works, we welcome Abby Anderson, AVP of Marine Operations for DCLI. Abby tells us about DCLI's systems, how chassis movement has been streamlined in recent years, adjusting to supply and demand, and the different ways ports, railroads and drayage carriers rely on chassis for container transport. She also tells us about improvements in chassis availability, how they determine when they're in good order, the difference between marine and domestic chassis programs, and how the recent agreement preventing a port strike on the east and Gulf coasts helps the freight industry. To learn more about DCLI and what it does, visit dcli.com . And as you may have noticed, this is the first episode of the Intermodal Logistics Podcast, renamed from InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast. We're still offering the excellent guests and industry insights you've come to expect, but with a name that better reflects our focus on intermodal transportation.

Paper & Packaging 45:51

Freight touches a vast array of industries, and one of them touches freight in a variety of ways. Paper and packaging not only moves via traditional shipping modes across the world, it also ensures other goods move safely through supply chains. To take us through the industry, Rick and Kevin speak with Greg Lovensheimer, President of Millcraft Paper Company. Greg explains the ins and outs of paper and packaging, the both expected and unexpected products that fall under its umbrella and how the industry has evolved over the years. He also explains paper production, starting from the forest - and why sustainability has always been a major part of it. Plus, Greg tells us how the market is doing today, how it relates to freight, how AI is impacting paper and packaging, and what he thinks of The Office's take on his field. Learn more about Millcraft at millcraft.com , and learn more about the industry through the National Paper Trade Association (for which Greg serves as Chair) at www.gonpta.com .

The Intermodal Market Now and in 2025 53:21

منذ 15 weeks53:21

53:21

As the year winds down, where does the intermodal market stand? And what should we expect heading into 2025, with a new administration and proposed tariff policies that could have a substantial effect on international trade? For those answers and more, we turn to the intermodalist himself, Larry Gross, President and Founder of Gross Transportation Consulting, for Episode 50 of InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast. Larry goes inside the numbers to tell us how intermodal is doing today, how it compares over time, its stance against truckload, and the difference between inland point intermodal (thriving with port activity) & purely domestic intermodal. Plus, he shares his thoughts on the election's potential effects on the market in 2025, and how tariffs would likely shift the balance of intermodal activity. Additionally, we talk cross-border intermodal, where Larry notes, the numbers disagree with both the activity of many businesses and anecdotal evidence of growing strength between the U.S. and Mexico. For more from Larry, visit intermodalindepth.com , where you can sign up for his excellent Intermodal In-Depth reports and find other services he offers.

The LMI, a healthy recovery & tariff effects 55:05

منذ 16 weeks55:05

55:05

The Logistics Managers Index (LMI) tracks the freight market through thick and thin. Until recently, it's been thin, but head author Zac Rogers, Assistant Professor of Operations & Supply Chain Management at Colorado State University, tells us indications squarely point to a healthy recovery. Zac tells us about his background, the origins of the Index, how it surveys logistics pros (and who they are), how it relates to the economy as a whole, what typically causes shifts and where it's heading now. Plus, we discuss how the election and incoming President Trump's suggested tariffs (and other policies) could influence the freight recovery. And we talk a bit about teaching future supply chain pros along with the three pillars of sustainability to consider - beyond simply environmental benefits.

Short Haul, Florida and Mexico Intermodal 39:07

Intermodal is traditionally associated with long-haul shipping, but a few Sunshine State - and Mexico - solutions show it can shine with short-haul, too. On the latest InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast, Luis Hernandez, VP of Intermodal with Florida East Coast Railway (a member of Grupo Mexico - which also owns Ferromex) to discuss those Florida options, from intra-Miami to all the way up and down the coast. Luis tells us how intermodal not only offers convenience for Florida freight, but also surprising speed - whether between ports or not. He talks about the relationship between FEC and the expanding Brightline passenger rail network - and how railroad crossings have changed for Floridians. He also discusses the freight landscape in Mexico, how intermodal offers underused solutions for cross-border shipping, and how AMTI - the Mexican intermodal association - is working to make more inroads (or rails in this case).

It all starts at the ports - especially when moving intermodal across North America. And one of the busiest of those, is the Port of Long Beach in Southern California. Hosts Kevin Baxter and Shelli Austin are joined by POLB COO Dr. Noel Hacegaba as he discusses how the port operates, just how busy it is this year in terms of container shipping, how it handled the pandemic-related peak, port strike impacts, how it's prioritized infrastructure to improve service, and more. We dive into sustainability, including measures the port has taken to reduce its environmental impact, the progress of electric trucks, the ability of on-dock rail to help with emissions and freight movement simultaneously, and how the port is tackling sea level rise. Additionally, we discuss the Intermodal Association of North America (whose board both Shelli and Noel serve on), the importance of creating an educational pipeline for future supply chain pros, and, a band called the TEUs - for which Noel and some fellow POLB employees play.

Getting Started with Intermodal 48:35

منذ 25 weeks48:35

48:35

Intermodal transportation offers a variety of benefits over other shipping modes, including lower rates, greater capacity, consistency of service, and a reduced environmental impact. But with the vast majority - nearly three-quarters in fact - of domestic freight traveling via truck, shippers may feel a barrier to entry to this combination of road for short-haul and rail for the long-haul. On this episode, we play a home game with host Kevin Baxter joined by both his regular co-hosts, InTek Freight & Logistics President Shelli Austin and InTek CEO Rick LaGore, as they discuss the process of getting started with intermodal. We go over which freight works for the mode, the qualities of a good intermodal lane, the importance of research, finding the right intermodal marketing company and more. Plus, they go over some misconceptions about intermodal, the need for reputable freight partners, unique fees (and how to avoid them), and the importance (and simplicity) of proper blocking and bracing.

International Container Ports...in the Midwest? 38:54

When one thinks of an international container port, it conjures the image of a city along the ocean. But Ports of Indiana CEO Jody Peacock tells us why a Midwest state 500 miles away from the nearest one can still handle ocean cargo. On our latest episode, Jody explains the Indiana Container Initiative, which involves plans to make the Ports of Indiana a potential origin and destination for ocean containers directly over water between the U.S. and Europe. He tells us the added value of adding containers to Indiana's ports (which include Burns Harbor on Lake Michigan, as well as Jeffersonville and Mount Vernon on the Ohio River), what the ports currently import and export - including agriculture and steel, the importance of access to multiple transportation modes, from ships to trucks to trains - and even river barges. Plus, he explains how sustainability and convenience factor in to using Indiana's ports. And he takes us through the route - and the lock system - that allow ocean vessels to make it deep into the U.S. Learn more about the Ports of Indiana at www.portsofindiana.com and the Indiana Container Initiative at www.portsofindiana.com/containers .
