Introducing the Silver Substack.
Ramblings about the intersection of freight and tech.
More words in a slightly more organized fashion
I know I’ve been hitting Twitter/X and LinkedIn pretty hard, lately. There’s so much to talk about in the freight industry, especially when it comes to cross-border freight. It’s all I’ve thought about for the better part of the past decade. Thanks to the rapidly expanding trade relationship between the United States and Mexico, we’re going to see a lot of opportunity for growth supporting this trade lane and more people are working to become experts in a relatively new market.
1. Another newsletter? Why?
I get a lot of questions about topics that range from starting a company to the complexities of cross-border Mexico freight and the nearshoring trend that exacerbates it. I figured I would get my thoughts organized a bit more and share some longer form thoughts on here.
If there’s a specific topic you’re interested in reading about, shoot me a message and let me know!
2. Who’s this for?
Look, this thing will evolve — it’s an iterative process, something I learned about while building Forager. If you love freight, B2B software, entrepreneurship, or cross-border Mexico freight, you found that perfect intersection right here.
3. How often?
My goal is to publish content at least weekly. If there’s a need to share something additional, I’ll do that.
4. Subscribe at your own risk!
It’s realistically pretty low risk to sign up so just do it. What’re you waiting for? Put your email in that box and click that button. Just do it.
5. The industry is changing.
With the recent news of Convoy’s demise, we’re in for a transformation in the industry. Convoy trained a lot of incredibly smart and talent people and they all gained first hand experience solving complicated supply chain problems. Some of those people will go on to start their own companies and solve a component of those supply chain challenges. I’m excited to see what happens in the industry over the next decade. Things are just getting fun, finally.
