Readers Comments
“I read your articles on ODFL and The Titanic in JOC. I thought the ODFL one was good but you knocked it out of the park with the Titanic. It was excellent. There is no question that with the right leader a company in this industry can survive the most desperate times.”

“Nice research and full page commentary in the JOC! I really like the way you laid out the forces affecting the TL, LTL, and parcel segments, and, in your typical candid way, told the story for the readers. Overall, the quality of the analysis in putting together the numbers and drawing some conclusions was very good."
