Bitfreighterโs Brad Perling is back on the show to share something about launching a successful freight tech company, from sleepless nights and zero revenue to building a profitable remote-first company serving shippers and brokers across the globe!
Brad discusses EDI integration pain points in transportation, why aligned values within an organization matter, and how partnerships with TMS providers, strategic sponsors, and customers shaped their growth.
We also dive into the importance of company culture in a 100% remote setup, why physical and mental transformation is key for long-term success, and how Bitfreighter is giving back and raising funds for ALS research through their annual charity golf tournament. This is a real look at freight tech innovation, resilience, and leadership in the logistics industry, so stay tuned!
