Drilling Deep: Dealing with now, but getting ready for a post-COVID world

· Thursday, July 02, 2020

On this week’s Drilling Deep podcast, David Roush of KSM Transport Advisors, who has a wealth of experience in the sector, tackles several issues on the minds of truckers everywhere.

Why do some companies take freight with a lousy price? What does it mean to get ready for a post-COVID-19 world? And what does capacity look like for the end of the year?

Host John Kingston interviews Roush and also takes a look at the diesel market. Retail diesel prices have acted as if movements in the broader range of crude and products don’t matter. That may be about to end.
