Generative AI holds unique power to strengthen human connections

Logistics professionals have long heralded industry conferences as some of the best places to connect with peers, learn about emerging solutions, and grow relationships with existing partners. This is especially true in the years after the coronavirus pandemic. For many, these conferences are now the only opportunity to meet with industry connections face-to-face.

Tenstreet held its 6th annual  User Conference in Las Vegas earlier this month, an event aimed at providing industry education,...

Tenstreet offers modern tech solutions tailored to private fleets

Most technological solutions in trucking focus on improving some aspect of the for-hire fleet experience. Despite often being left out of the conversation, private fleets face a unique set of challenges that can often be addressed by different applications of the same solutions.

When software providers do not cater to private fleets, both the provider and the carrier suffer. To truly provide value to these companies, third-party partners must understand their differing priorities.  For example,...

Rewarding drivers for fuel-efficient behavior goes a long way

Fuel economy is a hot topic and the ongoing focus on reducing fuel waste is expected to continue into the new year. Carriers hoping to see improvements should increase their attention on the relationship between fuel efficiency and driving behavior.

Historically, carriers have relied heavily on equipment improvements to provide improved fuel efficiency to their fleets. Truck manufacturers have integrated new technologies into vehicles, allowing for significant average mile-per-gallon...

Simplified rewards system designed to support driver retention

Driver turnover has been a hot topic across the logistics industry for decades. Only in recent years, however, have industry leaders gained a more comprehensive understanding of why drivers leave carriers. Despite what many people once believed, it is not all about the money. 

Tenstreet’s driver survey tool, Insights, has enabled the company to gain a more complete and nuanced understanding of why drivers choose to leave carriers. While pay often dominates the retention conversation, survey...

Shippers, carriers must work together to solve detention crisis

High detention times have plagued the industry for years. The impact that wait times have on carriers and drivers – including lost time, money and safety – are well documented. Shippers, however, continue to have misconceptions about wait times and their overarching impacts on the industry as a whole. 

“The first is the misconception that accessorial or detention pay makes a driver or carrier whole,” said Kevin Nadeau, founder and president of True Load Time. “Oftentimes, on the carrier side,...

Tenstreet provides smoother connection between drivers, carriers through continued acquisitions

Tenstreet digs deep into client success with new team

Tenstreet offers 1-stop shop for hassle-free hiring

Hiring is always a hot topic in trucking. The industry has struggled to keep trucks filled for years, and pandemic-fueled labor shortages have only made that task more daunting. While hiring and turnover rates are expected to reach something of an equilibrium across all industries in 2023, openings remain elevated. 

As consumer demand wanes and capacity loosens, carriers will have less money — and energy — to funnel into hiring. Finding an intuitive solution that works, regardless of market...

Customized training programs boost recruiting, retention

The face of trucking is changing. Drivers now hail from four distinct generations — baby boomers, Gen X, millennials, and Gen Z. The older generations bring stability and experience to the profession, while the younger generations usher in greater diversity and a technology-first approach. This diversity of age and experience makes trucking an expansive industry informed by a variety of perspectives. It also poses a training challenge.

Safety training was once largely considered a...

“What has happened over the past couple of years is retention has gotten even more important to the industry and to our clients,” Tenstreet CEO Tim Crawford said. “It was important when we first connected with them, and it is even more so now.”

As carriers face a market downturn, it is crucial...
