Episode #85 Broker-Carrier Summit 2023 w/ Dan Lindsey, Co-Founder of Linkage Logistics

The relationship between carriers and brokers is historically noted as one of volatility. This constant head butting ultimately lowers the level of service either party can provide to the end customer. Some in the industry look to change this through open dialogue at the 2023 Broker-Carrier Summit being held in Indianapolis, IN this April. We welcome Dan Lindsey Co-Founder of Linkage Logistics who is spearheading this effort to nurture this symbiotic relationship and usher in alignment.
