Missed this week’s edition of the Transportation Brief?

Host Steve Bryan, GM and EVP of Transportation, and his guest Deryk Powell, President of Velociti, Inc., discussed how truckers do not move without maintenance and the importance of connectivity, now more than ever.

Highlights of the conversation, which can also be viewed through an on-demand recording, included:

• The hero status surrounding those who are continuing to supply us with essential and non-essential needs, keeping the general public both healthy and well-stocked.
• How substantially COVID-19 has changed our current environment and how at the same time, it hasn’t.
  • Truckers still need maintenance – Velociti, Inc. is still going mobile and is working for maintenance sites to be on terms of the driver.
• Many drivers are working to ensure that they are not contributing to the stress caused by the global pandemic.
• Truckers becoming more valued, complimented and respected.
• The unique challenges faced by owner/operators during such a time and how they can benefit from the intelligent use of technology.
• Time freed up that once was not seemingly accessible to complete those back-office projects.
• Hope of the progression within the industry that comes from the global pandemic.
• Companies having to make really quick decisions from the pandemic and are counting on technology more so than ever.

Register for the next episode of the Transportation Brief webinar Thursday, April 23 at 10 a.m. MST. Steve Bryan will be joined by Steve Wilhelms, Executive Vice President and COO, InfoStream.
