What are the top conferences you attend for growing your business, and what makes them valuable to you? Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Arizona Trucking Association's Annual Meeting and Carrier Conference. My primary goal was to dive deeper into industry trends and connect with leaders in the trucking space. I was impressed by how welcoming and collaborative the community was—it made networking feel natural and insightful. Curious to hear from others: which conferences or events have been game-changers for your business?

There is a lot going on in the social world. I focus on LinkedIn, but have seen many going to X (aka Twitter) and some references to Reddit. Meanwhile, many drivers are in Facebook groups. What social platform is your favorite to talk about freight?

Class I need some help from the freight broker side. I have a new customer that will require HV insurance, since most carriers are only insured up to 100k, how do you usually tackle this? Contingent insurance policy or purchase on a per load basis. For extra credit; if you could also drop some referrals.

Looking forward to network and grow in the industry with this great community.

Thank you for adding me to this community, I look forward to networking and building connections within the freight community. Decade long owner operator and also a freight brokerage owner with experience on both sides of the industry I look forward to not only helping others learn about the industry but also learning about what the veterans have to offer!
