Rick Larkin is the Chief Information Officer at BCB Transport, a trucking company in Texas that empowers its independent contractors, employees, and truck drivers. Unlike most transport companies, Rick is big on driver safety, making critical decisions based on data—especially with the pandemic persisting. With over 10 years of leadership experience in the transport industry, Rick has also become an expert in operations management, logistics, business development, and team building.
Rick joins me today to discuss how BCB Transport uses data to reduce driver accidents and other safety incidents. He describes how the workplace has changed in just ten years. He details the market shift that happened in 2018 and how it bankrupted many transport companies. He explains how BCB Transport manages to put safety over profits, even if it means making a few customers angry. Rick also discusses their podcast and how it has positively affected the way their truckers drive and even park.
"In June-July of 2018, the market changed, and those folks who didn't know their data went out of business." - Rick Larkin
