We are joined this week by Dave Broering, President of NFI Integrated Logistics. Dave takes us through his career journey from being hired at American Backhaulers in 1997, to spending 12 years at C.H. Robinson, before finding his current home at NFI, where he oversees all integrated logistics responsibilities.
NFI just announced it has acquired the brokerage from Transfix and will become it's first partner on the Transfix TMS. We break down how that transaction played out and the strategy for NFI moving forward as a result.
Before that though, we go down a rabbit hole of awesome topics, including:
- Building positive work culture
- Challenges of remote work
- Attracting and retaining Gen Z talent
- Value of transparency in leadership
- Current market dynamics
- Power of relationships
- AI
- Evolution of TMS
- Future of brokerage
So sit back, relax, and enjoy this great episode with Dave.
