Last week, I shared four key takeaways that my leadership team at SiLo and I have learned during the unprecedented 2.5-year freight recession so let’s unpack the first one… “Finding your niche(s) and sticking to them.” While it’s appealing to potentially get stickier by cross-selling various modes to our shipper clients, we needed to ask ourselves if that was really what we’re good at? Ultimately, we’d prefer to be experts in one or two verticals as opposed to mediocre in many modes. The reality is that nobody wants to hear that you can handle all aspects of the supply chain–it’s actually off-putting. What shippers DO want to hear is, “This is what we’re good at and where we can add the most value as a transportation partner.” Even more powerful is being honest with them about what you’re NOT good at and respectfully declining opportunities outside your core competencies. Thoughts?

If the past 4 ½ years taught us anything, it’s that nobody can accurately predict the freight market or perfectly time the cycles. That said, the general consensus is that we’re likely at or near the bottom of the market since it went deflationary back in Q2 of ‘22. As I reflect over the last 2 ½ years in what’s been an abnormally lengthy freight recession for brokers and carriers alike, here are my key takeaways. 1. Responsible Growth > Growth at all cost. 2. Find your niche(s) and stick to them. 3. Never waste a down market to build the roof while the sun is out. 4. Double down on your culture, values, and mission. There’s simply too much to unpack with each of these topics all at once so in the coming weeks, I’ll go into detail on what each meant for myself and the leadership team at SiLo. Anything else you would add?
