Covering the freight industry means balancing what the numbers convey and what the people on the ground say, and transportation journalist Ari Ashe has that mix down to a science. On episode 6 of InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast, Ari joins us to discuss his unique background that took him from politics, to sports, to local news coverage to becoming an expert on reporting transportation issues of the day. He also shares stories from his time as an intern/call screener at WFAN sports radio in New York, how his father's accounting background helped his comfort with freight market analytics and he offers insights into where the industry stands today. Find Ari's work at the Journal of Commerce.
Also in this episode, we discuss the multi-layered situation affecting California ports and trucking, and get a tip on the MercuryGate TMS platform.
