In this week’s “Drilling Deep” podcast, host John Kingston sits down with Dave Heller of the Truckload Carriers Association at the TCA’s annual meeting in the Orlando, Florida, area.

Dave led a panel of several “next-generation” leaders at three smaller truckload companies. How are their views different from those of the generations before?

Dave will talk about that and what else he heard at the biggest meeting of the truckload sector.
