SPI Logistics has been helping freight agents for more than 40 years and CEO Mitch Helten joins the show to talk about how they helped to pioneer what a freight agent program SHOULD look like.

From the early days of process mapping via spreadsheets, to building their own SaaS, and then the technology hub they have today, Mitch breaks down how SPI builds on their partnerships at every level and continues to see that evolve for 2025.
