## Resource

Technology has changed. Pricing has changed. Expectations around visibility and data have changed. But one challenge has remained the same: How do carriers, shippers, and technology providers make better decisions with better information? Lance Healy joins Nate Johnson to discuss what FreightFacts is launching, the current state of the industry, what’s changing in LTL, why better data matters, and how technology can help carriers, brokers, and shippers make smarter decisions. And because it’s Nate and Lance, there’s a good chance the conversation will also drift into boats, music, and whatever else comes up along the way. Whether you're a carrier, shipper, 3PL, technology provider, or simply interested in the future of freight, this conversation offers valuable insights from someone who has spent much of his career helping move the industry forward.
