e-commerce and omnichannel fulfillment have changed a lot about the supply chain. In 2013, the average mileage per truckload was about 780 miles and it is now 620. From discussion on Technology’s Influence on Transportation at CITT conference. #CITT19

Getting ELDs for motor carriers is like getting a FITBIT, says Steve Raetz of CH Robinson. They now have data to support how long they’ve been sitting at a shipper’s dock and thus not making money. “Be prepared for that,” he warns. #CITT19

On sharing data: When you’re sharing data you are left open to everything. You’re naked. And a lot of people are not comfortable being naked: Dave Brajkovich, CTO, Polaris. But he adds that’s changing with better security systems. #CITT19

RBC economist Nathan Jansen speaking at #HwyH20conference says really hard to forecast these days “when we know one tweet out of the US” can change trade flows

Recession still doesn’t look imminent...at least not yet: RBC economist Nathan Janzen. US industrial output soft but not “recession” soft and labor markets remain solid #HwyH20conference

Canada suffering from homegrown issues, RBC’s Nathan Janzen tells Hwy H20 conference. Business investment low, mainly due to oil & gas sector. Not willing to invest when questions about distribution to markets outside Canada persist. #HwyH20conference

The next recession is probably going to be caused by something we don’t see coming. It’s never what you can see coming that hurts you - Nathan Janzen, RBC. #HwyH20conference
