The Tech Fixing Oil, Gas & Trucking From the Inside | Glenn Moore on Behind The Wheelhouse

In this episode of Behind the Wheelhouse on Trucker Talk Radio, Glenn Moore, founder of VantEdge, joins Justin and co-host Shamaira to break down the real inefficiencies hiding inside commodity logistics and what technology can do to fix them. Glenn spent over 15 years at Plains All American and Plains Midstream Canada watching how oil and gas companies won and lost money not on the trading floor, but in logistics. That experience became the foundation for VantEdge and its flagship product, Terminal Boss, a platform originally acquired from Schneider Electric that now sits at the center of how commodity facilities track every drop of product moving in and out.Glenn walks through the specific, often-overlooked problems that compound into massive losses: rail cars shipped at less than optimal capacity, trucks sitting idle waiting to load, and scheduling systems that simply do not exist in industries that schedule everything else. He explains how Terminal Boss serves around 400 facilities, integrates with on-site metering equipment, and now includes a truck scheduling layer that reduces wait times and helps operators get more out of an aging driver workforce.The conversation also covers VantEdge's compliance product, Conformee, which uses AI to monitor regulatory changes across Canadian provinces and U.S. states, automatically flagging what changed, when it changed, and how long a company has to get back into compliance. Glenn makes the case that for oil and gas operators facing constant regulatory pressure, this kind of audit-ready documentation is less a nice-to-have and more an insurance policy for leadership.Glenn closes with an honest look at entrepreneurship: the original version of VantEdge failed, and he had to restart from scratch in early 2020. He shares what he learned, why he believed the opportunity was still real, and how the company has grown to around $5 million in revenue while targeting 60 to 80 percent growth this year. For anyone running or building a business in commodities, logistics, or energy compliance, this episode covers the operational details that rarely make it into industry conversations.Chapters0:00 Intro0:41 Glenn's Background at Plains All American2:09 Founding VantEdge and Terminal Boss5:12 Technology Gaps in Trucking and Oil & Gas5:59 Rail Car Efficiency and Truck Scheduling8:18 How VantEdge Solves Facility Inefficiencies11:26 AI and OTR Freight Scheduling Problems13:48 Driver Accountability and Dangerous Goods17:41 Conformee: Compliance Software Explained21:44 Driver Verification in Oil and Gas26:31 ReadyApp and Verified Driver Profiles28:26 Driver Compliance Inside Terminal Boss29:39 Vision: Growth, U.S. Expansion and New Industries32:36 Failing First and Rebuilding VantEdge37:25 Closing Thoughts and Where to Find Glenn39:08 Sponsor Shoutouts and OutroFollow Us!X: https://x.com/trucktalkradioIG: https://instagram.com/truckertalkradioTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@truckertalkradioFollow Glenn MooreLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glennmoorecalgary/Website: https://www.vantedge.comPowered by Ready AppThe driver-verification platform protecting brokers, carriers, and shippers from identity fraud, onboarding risks, and unsafe hires.Learn more at: https://ready-app.comSupport GreyCross.orgA 501(c)(3) supporting families affected by roadway tragedies across America.Donate at: https://greycross.org#truckertalkradio #behindthewheelhouse #trucking #logistics #oilandgas #commoditylogistics #compliancesoftware #freighttech #supplychain #truckingpodcast #vantedge #terminalboss #owneroperator #truckdriver #entrepreneurship #logisticstech #freightindustry #cdldriver
