Put That Coffee Down

  • Happiness and mental health’s role in freight sales
    • Dooner and Hill talk about the thing we often neglect the most: ourselves. On this show they look at how happiness, anxiety and depression play into your sales process, career and life. They’re joined by special guest Stan Duncan, senior recruiter, Tallgrass Freight Co.
    • Plus, listener feedback, advice and community building!
  • Lessons learned in freight tech sales
    • We reach into the Put That Coffee Down archives to bring you this bonus episode with Kurtis Tryber from Parade. Kurtis and Kevin sat down in the podcast booth in early March to discuss making the transition from freight brokerage sales to freight tech sales.

Great Quarter, Guys

  • Could this be the proverbial nail in malls’ coffin?
    • In Episode 30, Andrew and Kevin reunite with an original host and the creator of the show’s name, Seth Holm, to discuss the future of malls, brick-and-mortar and retail overall. Seth spent nearly 10 years covering consumer and retail stocks at an Atlanta-based hedge fund before joining the Freight Intel Group last April. Can malls reclaim their place as monuments of American consumerism, and should they even try?

Drilling Deep


  • Toll collectors are handling a lot less money
    • Tolls on bridges, tunnels and roads are plummeting in the wake of the pandemic. Pat Jones of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association joins the Drilling Deep podcast to discuss the state of his organization’s members.
    • Host John Kingston also will look at an aspect of the oil and gas business that could be good news for the trucking sector: Some activity may be coming back. It may not be a lot but for all the trucks sidelined in the oil patch, it might be a “green shoot.”
