“Unapologetically Real in a World That Tries to Tone You Down.” Meet Amber Romando, COO of Spartan Logistics and President of CSCMP Chicago Roundtable, whose rise through logistics is powered by grit, heart, and zero filters. In this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, Amber joins Jenni Ruiz to talk about: ✨ Betting on herself before LinkedIn was even a thing 🔥 Owning her voice in rooms that weren’t built for her 💪 Turning hard moments into legacy and impact 🗣️ And why authenticity is still the most underrated leadership skill in the game Amber doesn’t sugarcoat the realities of working in a male-dominated industry, and that’s exactly why you’ll want to hear every word. Plus, you'll want to hear what she thinks everyone gets wrong in supply chain in our close-out. 🎧 Links to listen in the comments to end your week with a bang! #supplychain #logistics #womenmentors #womeninsupplychain #womeninlogistics #freightbrokers #shippers #carriers

Not all lanes are created equal — and your pricing shouldn’t be either. With Rate Insights, you can see lane-level cost risk scores that reveal how predictable or volatile a lane may be. But here’s the real power: those scores are personalized to your buying patterns, not a one-size-fits-all snapshot of the market. That means your risk assessment is built around how you buy, helping you identify both opportunity and exposure in your network. And now, you can set pricing rules based on those risk scores in both your Spot and Contract Rates Control Panels, so smarter pricing decisions happen automatically.

The freight market is easing back into familiar territory — but don’t let the calm fool you. This week on The Transfix Take, Jenni Ruiz and market expert Justin Maze break down the latest trends as Q4 2025 kicks off. Rates are holding steady, but regional shifts and a few policy curveballs are keeping things interesting. Here’s what’s moving the market: • A return to seasonal norms after weeks of volatility • Flatbed load-to-truck ratios up 8.4%, signaling tightening in project and construction freight • A nor’easter and West Coast storms bringing rain, wind, and early snow to key markets • West Coast lanes heating up while the Southeast and Coastal regions cool off • A continued slow decline in the South, while the Midwest holds steady • The ongoing impact of non-domicile CDL regulations — and why Maze says the real effects are still months away Plus, Jenni gives a shoutout to the new WHAT THE TRUCK?!? host, Malcolm Harris, and recaps Carly Gunby’s appearance on the show to talk RFP strategies and how to beat AI fatigue in freight. Here's a clip of where markets are headed in the next 7 days. To listen to the full episode, check out the comments! #trucking #freightbrokers #carriers #shippers #nondomicilecdl #freightmarkets

It’s been a volatile two weeks in freight, and Justin Maze and Jenni Ruiz are breaking it all down on this week’s Transfix Take. As the national average line haul rate spikes and dry van load posts climb 6%, a perfect storm of factors — from end-of-quarter pressures to severe weather and a major CDL ruling — has carriers and shippers feeling the heat. Maze unpacks the non-domicile CDL regulation and what it could mean for the industry long term, from tighter driver pools to rate shifts driven by reduced labor supply. (Segment below if you can't wait!) Then, the duo dives into the regional breakdown: 🌪 Southeast & Coastal: Storms and relief loads drive volatility 🌧 South: Flooding and cross-border disruptions 🌽 Midwest: Q4 tightening begins 🗽 Northeast: Long-haul rates climb 🌲 West Coast: Steady for now, but keep an eye on ports and Christmas tree season Plus, Jenni recaps highlights from the JOC Inland Conference, where conversations on market trends, regulations, and fraud are taking center stage. This and more on The Transfix Take!
