1446. #TFCP - The Hybrid Brokerage: Balancing Manual Expertise with Digital Automation!
Ready to find out if your brokerage is built to survive the next wave of digital disruption? What does the future of the spot market look like when instant pricing APIs and AI-driven automation become the industry standard? In this episode, Bill Driegert of DAT joined the show at the 2026 TIA Capital Ideas Conference to talk straight about the digitalization of freight! We highlight why operational excellence must come before automation, the shift toward app-centric carriers, and why even the most "old-school" brokers need to start experimenting with different tools to audit their P&Ls and optimize their RFPs!   About Bill Driegert Bill is the EVP of Convoy Platform at DAT and oversees the shipper and carrier business segments. He was previously the EVP of Trucking at Flexport and the co-founder and Head of Operations at Uber Freight, Uberβs logistics business. Bill began his career in freight as the fourth employee at Coyote Logistics (acquired by UPS), where he grew the role to Chief Innovation Officer. Prior to joining Uber, he served as COO at Pillow Homes. He also spent time at Amazon as Director of Planning and Innovation. Bill holds an M.A. in Supply Chain from MIT, an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago, and a B.A. from Southern Methodist University.   ππ Donβt miss out on the latest market trends by subscribing to your TOP Transportation Morning Show! π π¬π― #TheFreightCoach Morning Show is LIVE every weekday at 10:30 AM CST to break down transportation industry headlines!
