Taking Time To Look Ahead: What Will You Do Differently In 2026?

October can provide trucking and logistics company leaders the opportunity to ask larger, strategic questions centered around how your organization can adjust to make next year better than the year you are closing out. In this episode of the Grawe Pod, we will be addressing a number of forward-thinking questions, including: What’s going to be different about the year ahead? What are you going to do differently to adjust to opportunities in the market? How are you going to look at your company critically? In particular, what will you be looking at every day that tells you whether or not you can win today or what you need to do today to win? Doug Grawe, the Founder and CEO of the Grawe Group, will be exploring these questions and much more with Grawe Group Executive Business Partner Gary Randall, a trucking management veteran with decades of expertise in leading Operations Departments. While acknowledging the ongoing challenges in the freight market, Doug and Gary discuss the success that they have seen Grawe Group clients realize in focusing on the fundamentals of trucking, exploring processes and examining the data around what works well within the opportunities available in today’s market. In sharing a couple of oral case studies from the Grawe Group’s work with clients, Gary and Doug note how trucking and logistics operations, through understanding their data and strengthening communication between departments, can proactively plan utilization by focusing on the opportunity hours available on trucks in the fleet vs. using a traditional models that can place tight restrictions on deadhead miles. If your company is beginning to look at strategic plans for 2026 and what you can do differently within today’s trucking market, this episode offers important insights to help in your evaluation process.
