0:01:45.400,0:01:50.560
welcome to the show. If you don't mind, just
for anyone out there who's either new to
0:01:50.560,0:01:55.160
DAT and isn't familiar with the leadership or
wasn't aware of you coming on board this year,
0:01:55.160,0:01:59.560
just give a brief recap on who you are,
your role, and kind of how you got into it.
0:01:59.560,0:02:04.320
That's great. Well, thanks for having me
on the show and looking forward to it. Yes,
0:02:04.320,0:02:10.560
Satish Maripuri. I've been the president
CEO of DAT since the beginning of this year,
0:02:10.560,0:02:14.720
been with Roper Technologies close to five
and a half years now and overseeing some of
0:02:14.720,0:02:21.440
the strategic investments that DAT is making
come with a very strong technology background,
0:02:21.440,0:02:27.120
been in artificial intelligence for almost
ten years now, was with Nuance Healthcare.
0:02:27.120,0:02:32.560
The makers of Dragon Medical Speech
for hospitals. If you've ever gone
0:02:32.560,0:02:36.720
to a doctor and the doctor dictating, that
was technology that I was very much involved
0:02:36.720,0:02:41.960
in leading prior to the ten years prior
to coming to Roper. So glad to be here.
0:02:41.960,0:02:46.240
Very cool. Well, awesome. We're going to
have a great episode today talking about
0:02:46.240,0:02:50.680
some of the stuff related to fraud and
what DAT is doing about it and kind of
0:02:50.680,0:02:56.040
the future. So we'll get to that in a little
bit here. But Ben, how are you? How's South
0:02:56.040,0:02:59.880
Florida treating you? Well, actually,
you as well. And I'm up here in Buffalo.
0:02:59.880,0:03:02.240
It's not fair.
0:03:02.240,0:03:04.720
yeah. Doing well. Had Halloween
last night, did a little bit of
0:03:04.720,0:03:07.600
trick or treating and I was a little
bit nice weather. I didn't. I think
0:03:07.600,0:03:11.320
you had snow. You were telling me
at least I was on the forecast.
0:03:11.320,0:03:16.000
Yeah. We ended up getting about three inches of
snow in Buffalo last night. It's still melting
0:03:16.000,0:03:20.720
because it's above freezing today, but it's not
going to stick around. Is going to be almost 60
0:03:20.720,0:03:27.800
next week at some point. But yeah, you know,
classic October snow in Buffalo right there.
0:03:27.800,0:03:31.460
So I can see the rivalry
here between the two of you.
0:03:31.460,0:03:32.480
Yeah.
0:03:32.480,0:03:34.120
Two opposite corners.
0:03:34.120,0:03:37.120
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. But I do
love getting down to Florida. And
0:03:37.120,0:03:40.880
when Ben and I get to hang out together,
that's always that's always fun. Yeah.
0:03:40.880,0:03:46.040
Funny. I'll bet we're obviously all, but we're
pretty close to exactly the same proximity from
0:03:46.040,0:03:51.600
the edge of the actual country, like from you
to Canada. And for me to Key West or at the
0:03:51.600,0:03:56.040
very least, tip, I'll bet, are pretty close.
I mean, if you literally drew it on a map.
0:03:56.040,0:03:58.040
Well, I mean, Buffalo borders Canada.
0:03:58.040,0:04:01.436
So you're closer. Yeah, we have three bridges.
0:04:01.436,0:04:08.760
Out from Buffalo. They go right into Canada.
But I mean, still very close. Yeah, very close.
0:04:08.760,0:04:15.960
Switching gears to to sports here. First, MLB
for the World Series is going on here. Currently,
0:04:15.960,0:04:22.240
it's Arizona and Texas. I was watching last
night. So today's Wednesday, but on Tuesday night,
0:04:22.240,0:04:27.920
Texas was up like 10 to 1 or something. They still
won it, but it wasn't as as much of a landslide.
0:04:27.920,0:04:33.000
It ended up being like 11 to 5 or 11 to 6,
something like that. But currently Texas is
0:04:33.000,0:04:40.520
up three games to one, so this series could be
over before this episode releases or if they,
0:04:40.520,0:04:45.120
you know, if they tied or if they win,
Arizona wins tonight. It'll play game six
0:04:45.120,0:04:52.560
on Friday. So we'll see. I do want to bring
in our producer Stephen for this next part.
0:04:52.560,0:04:58.200
So on football news, Stephen is a Bengals
fan and I'm a Bills fan and we've got the
0:04:58.200,0:05:02.000
the rivalry this weekend. So, Stephen, I
want to know what your take is. Your boys
0:05:02.000,0:05:08.000
are two point favorites although you're
at home right what you want Yeah it's.
0:05:08.640,0:05:09.160
I think.
0:05:09.160,0:05:09.640
I was looking.
0:05:09.640,0:05:10.560
At the history.
0:05:10.560,0:05:11.640
And the bills are.
0:05:11.640,0:05:12.600
17 and
0:05:12.600,0:05:22.280
13. And it's history all time. But with
the way the bills have looked the last.
0:05:22.280,0:05:23.280
Couple of weeks and.
0:05:23.280,0:05:25.760
The way the Bengals have
looked last couple of weeks,
0:05:25.760,0:05:29.480
I like the two point favor
I might bump it to four.
0:05:29.480,0:05:33.480
Wow.
But I'm sure, very aggressive.
0:05:34.160,0:05:34.560
I will say.
0:05:34.560,0:05:36.280
It is going to be exciting, especially with.
0:05:36.280,0:05:36.400
The.
0:05:36.400,0:05:43.240
Damar Hamlin incident last year during prime
time at Cincinnati. So I'm sure they'll probably.
0:05:43.240,0:05:44.320
Do something.
0:05:44.320,0:05:48.760
For that. It'll be an exciting
game, especially for Definitely,
0:05:48.760,0:05:54.520
definitely. Well, I, I don't think it's
going to be a close game. I well, no,
0:05:54.520,0:05:58.200
I shouldn't say that. I think it could be a
close game, but I don't think I think either
0:05:58.200,0:06:03.200
the bills I think one team I think it's very
likely that one team beats the other by two
0:06:03.200,0:06:08.480
scores because one team just like slips and
falls and it could be the bills who lost to
0:06:08.480,0:06:13.040
the Patriots in an unexpected lost couple weeks
ago to let us know in the green room that he's
0:06:13.040,0:06:19.560
actually a Patriots fan since the mid nineties
but we'll we'll see we'll see how the game goes to
0:06:19.560,0:06:22.320
Satish do you actually follow your your patriots.
0:06:22.320,0:06:26.160
Or of course of course I live down in Florida
0:06:26.160,0:06:31.960
right now but so still a loyal fan of
the Patriots They get flak for it but.
0:06:33.720,0:06:36.240
It's a bit of a rebuild for them right now.
0:06:36.240,0:06:37.960
Well, I've been through the down years in the
0:06:37.960,0:06:42.680
nineties and then the up years.
So you can't you can't give up.
0:06:42.680,0:06:49.040
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Well Stephen, before we let
you go here, I wanted your take is for folks who
0:06:49.040,0:06:54.680
don't know, Stephen was a corpsman in the Navy,
which is essentially like a combat medic. And
0:06:54.680,0:06:58.920
now you guys can see there's a hockey player that
used to play for the Pittsburgh Penguins that it
0:06:58.920,0:07:05.120
was playing over in a European League that
passed away from a skate to the neck recently.
0:07:05.120,0:07:11.480
And Stephen, I want your take on it. Is
the as a sports fan, as a as a medic for
0:07:11.480,0:07:19.160
that matter. Yeah. So I was freshening up on the
article, but his name was Adam Johson he played.
0:07:19.160,0:07:20.240
For the Penguins.
0:07:20.240,0:07:21.280
Last year and now he's in a.
0:07:21.280,0:07:26.600
European League this year. And
at some point during the match,
0:07:26.600,0:07:28.960
I think the guy's name was Petgar.
0:07:28.960,0:07:34.480
The what people are calling an unorthodox
move. And that's skate caught him in the
0:07:34.480,0:07:39.680
carotid artery. So for those
who don't know, you got five.
0:07:39.680,0:07:40.306
00:07:39:23 - 00:07:41:19
Speaker 2
0:07:40.306,0:07:41.766
Five Thousand milliliters of blood.
0:07:41.766,0:07:41.800
00:07:41:21 - 00:07:47:17
Speaker 1
0:07:41.800,0:07:47.806
Your heart pump, 70 per beep,
and during physical activity.
0:07:47.806,0:07:47.831
00:07:47:18 - 00:07:49:04
0:07:47.831,0:07:49.320
Speaker 3
You could bleed out in.
0:07:49.320,0:07:51.166
A minute, 2 minutes.
0:07:51.166,0:07:51.200
00:07:51:04 - 00:07:53:16
Speaker 1
0:07:51.200,0:07:53.606
And he was able to skate off the
ice. And, you know, the reason.
0:07:53.606,0:07:53.640
00:07:53:16 - 00:07:56:09
Speaker 2
0:07:53.640,0:07:56.406
Article I just read from yesterday.
0:07:56.406,0:07:56.440
00:07:56:11 - 00:08:07:23
Speaker 1
0:07:56.440,0:08:04.600
The police are actually involved in investigating
what they think might be intentional. So we'll
0:08:04.600,0:08:08.046
see what comes of that. But yeah, that's
crazy. It'll be interesting cause I know.
0:08:08.046,0:08:08.080
00:08:07:23 - 00:08:12:13
Speaker 2
0:08:08.080,0:08:12.646
Back in the nineties there was
an incident in the NHL where.
0:08:12.646,0:08:12.680
00:08:12:13 - 00:08:16:18
Speaker 1
0:08:12.680,0:08:16.535
A goalie took a skate Sabers goalie. Yeah.
0:08:16.535,0:08:16.960
00:08:16:20 - 00:08:18:03
Speaker 2
0:08:16.960,0:08:18.126
And they required neck guards.
0:08:18.126,0:08:18.160
00:08:18:03 - 00:08:42:05
Speaker 1
0:08:18.160,0:08:23.200
After that, so I wouldn't be surprised if that
becomes common practice. Yeah, most leagues I know
0:08:23.200,0:08:28.960
the European League is required in all the one.
Yeah. Though NHL one that happened was they said
0:08:28.960,0:08:36.280
the only reason he survived that is because there
medical staff happened to be down on the side of
0:08:36.280,0:08:42.166
the ice rink where that got where the goalie was
when it happened where and I think he he hit his.
0:08:42.166,0:08:42.191
00:08:42:05 - 00:08:43:08
0:08:42.191,0:08:43.446
Speaker 2
Jugular vein.
0:08:43.446,0:08:43.480
00:08:43:10 - 00:08:57:07
Speaker 1
0:08:43.480,0:08:48.440
Whereas this guy in his carotid. Okay so I
don't I don't know the difference. Yeah. So
0:08:48.440,0:08:54.000
so the jury probably not a medical doctor, you
know, to the jugular. It's still a massive ah,
0:08:54.000,0:08:57.326
vein. Okay. So it's not going to bleed as fast.
0:08:57.326,0:08:57.360
00:08:57:07 - 00:08:59:22
Speaker 2
0:08:57.360,0:08:59.775
But it's still pretty, pretty impending.
0:08:59.775,0:08:59.917
00:08:59:22 - 00:09:02:03
Speaker 1
0:08:59.917,0:09:02.086
Or as a carotid I mean, it's under.
0:09:02.086,0:09:02.120
00:09:02:03 - 00:09:04:14
Speaker 2
0:09:02.120,0:09:04.526
Immense amount of pressure and
it's just going to be shooting.
0:09:04.526,0:09:04.560
00:09:04:14 - 00:09:25:01
Speaker 1
0:09:04.560,0:09:10.040
Blood of the. So. Well, if you've seen
the video it's sad story. Yeah I don't
0:09:10.040,0:09:13.520
I don't I don't have the stomach to
watch the the video that's been going
0:09:13.520,0:09:20.760
around. But I heard it was bad. Well, anyway,
appreciate the insight. They're moving on to

a sign up button for the newsletter goes out every

Tuesday and Thursday. Get your market update a
lot of which comes from Dean Croke at DAT. And
0:09:35.760,0:09:40.160
then we share a lot of the news that's going
around in the industry too. So latest news,
0:09:40.160,0:09:50.480
the FMCSA. So if you guys weren't aware there is
a there is a proposed change by the FMCSA and the,
0:09:50.480,0:09:54.120
and the safety rate carriers safety
rating system and they open it up
0:09:54.120,0:09:59.686
for public comment for a period of 30
days, but only received 12 comments.
0:09:59.686,0:09:59.720
00:09:59:16 - 00:10:20:22
Speaker 1
0:09:59.720,0:10:04.240
So they, they open it up for another they
extended for another 30 days. And I checked
0:10:04.240,0:10:08.960
yesterday and there was like, you know, 100
of well over 100 comments now. So clearly
0:10:08.960,0:10:14.680
that helped. But the whole idea is they're
trying to redo the safety rating system
0:10:14.680,0:10:20.886
because based on how rigorous it is right now,
there are over 90% of carriers just are unrated.
0:10:20.886,0:10:20.920
00:10:20:22 - 00:10:44:06
Speaker 1
0:10:20.920,0:10:26.680
They don't have a any sort of rating whatsoever
because that can't or TIA is advocating for
0:10:26.680,0:10:32.800
more of a red light, green light, basically
like a go or no go kind of system. So please
0:10:33.800,0:10:39.520
make sure to check that out and leave a
comment if you choose to outside of that
0:10:39.520,0:10:44.287
fun little Halloween thing. I did see this
and it was in our newsletter 18 I'm sorry.
0:10:44.287,0:10:44.500
00:10:44:09 - 00:11:08:04
Speaker 1
0:10:44.500,0:10:49.320
Well over $12 billion spent on
Halloween this year predicted,
0:10:49.320,0:10:54.320
which is over $100 a person. And I saw someone's
tweet related to freight about it. It was like
0:10:54.320,0:11:01.320
how many truckloads of like increased
food candy costumes and whatever it was,
0:11:01.320,0:11:08.246
That's a lot. So but this is just a prime example
of when any kind of seasonal event will will peak.
0:11:08.246,0:11:08.280
00:11:08:06 - 00:11:33:15
Speaker 1
0:11:08.280,0:11:13.200
The surge for transportation demand and
capacity. These are small niches to get
0:11:13.200,0:11:19.080
involved in. I used to work with the guy
who he did the pop up Halloween stores.
0:11:19.080,0:11:25.080
That was like his niche. So good stuff.
So that's all I got for for news and
0:11:25.080,0:11:29.760
for sports. Ben we don't have a I'm not
going to do a full ad, but if you want,
0:11:29.760,0:11:33.966
give a shout out to DAT and the link
we'll, we'll get into our content here.
0:11:33.966,0:11:34.000
00:11:33:20 - 00:11:44:01
Speaker 2
0:11:34.000,0:11:38.640
Yeah. Check out the show notes, support
it Freight360 get 10% off your first year
0:11:38.640,0:11:44.246
of DAT and support everybody over here and all
the information we get to put up for you guys.
0:11:44.246,0:11:44.280
00:11:44:03 - 00:12:03:01
Speaker 1
0:11:44.280,0:11:47.080
Absolutely. All right. Well, Satish, again,
0:11:47.080,0:11:51.760
we really appreciate you coming on the show
and sharing your time with us. So again,
0:11:51.760,0:11:56.960
CEO and president of DAT, also group
executive at Roper Technologies. So
0:11:56.960,0:12:02.486
for those who don't know the structure, can you
explain the relationship between Roper and DAT?
0:12:02.486,0:12:02.520
00:12:03:03 - 00:12:31:00
Speaker 3
0:12:02.520,0:12:11.560
Roper Technologies is a holding company
that owns DAT and 27 other companies
0:12:11.560,0:12:18.240
like DAT and growing nicely and long term
holders. So we don't buy and sell much,
0:12:18.240,0:12:24.200
unlike the private equity funds where long term
holders and building value and investing in the
0:12:24.200,0:12:30.240
lead slide DAT in their respective industries.
And we've had the A-Team there for a long time.
0:12:30.240,0:12:31.160
00:12:31:01 - 00:12:50:06
Speaker 1
0:12:31.160,0:12:37.200
Awesome. So you obviously were with
Roper before taking a role as the CEO
0:12:37.200,0:12:44.200
and president for DAT. Talk a little bit
about how I guess what you did before,
0:12:44.200,0:12:50.446
beginning with coming on board with DAT as well.
And then kind of how that all unfolded this year.
0:12:50.446,0:12:50.480
00:12:50:08 - 00:13:26:11
Speaker 3
0:12:50.480,0:12:56.800
Yeah, no, I think the role of Roper
is to ensure that we have the best
0:12:56.800,0:13:01.960
of breed leaders in their respective
domains, such as DAT. This particular
0:13:01.960,0:13:07.760
domain of freight and support the
teams with guidance and strategy,
0:13:07.760,0:13:15.680
execution and talent and left the CEOs build
their businesses for the long haul with the
0:13:15.680,0:13:20.680
long haul investment perspective rather than
sort of the next two or three years in a very
0:13:20.680,0:13:26.366
narrow mindset and make very good product and go
to market investments to service our customers.
0:13:26.366,0:13:26.400
00:13:26:11 - 00:13:48:18
Speaker 3
0:13:26.400,0:13:32.120
And that's our role to help companies like DAT
I mean, this next phase of the journey with
0:13:32.120,0:13:39.200
DAT needed some extra involvement and guidance
for the team, such as the topics of fraud and
0:13:39.200,0:13:43.680
other things we're going to talk about. And
that required some stepping in and actually
0:13:43.680,0:13:48.886
leading the business through the next phase here.
And I've been on the role about ten months now.
0:13:48.886,0:13:48.920
00:13:48:20 - 00:13:58:03
Speaker 1
0:13:48.920,0:13:52.640
Awesome. Well, that's again, we were
really glad you're on the show here,
0:13:52.640,0:13:58.286
Ben. Anything you want to ask in general
before we get into the fraud topic?
0:13:58.286,0:13:58.320
00:13:58:05 - 00:14:04:00
Speaker 2
0:13:58.320,0:14:02.360
No, we're just kind of excited to dig in
and to hear some of the insights on the
0:14:02.360,0:14:04.326
topics when looking forward to this for a while.
0:14:04.326,0:14:04.351
00:14:04:06 - 00:14:04:22
0:14:04.351,0:14:05.086
Speaker 1
Yeah, so.
0:14:05.086,0:14:05.120
00:14:05:01 - 00:14:08:11
Speaker 3
0:14:05.120,0:14:08.720
I was hoping you'd ask me
about the bills Pats game from.
0:14:08.720,0:14:08.880
00:14:08:17 - 00:14:24:00
Speaker 1
0:14:08.880,0:14:12.800
yeah, why don't we do that real quick? So
yeah, I ironically, I happened to be in
0:14:12.800,0:14:17.000
Florida when I was watching that game and
I talked about it on this show last week,
0:14:17.000,0:14:20.920
but I was sitting there and I was like, you
know, it's bills, Patriots bills should probably,
0:14:20.920,0:14:24.206
you know, easily win this one, cover
this, spread all that good stuff.
0:14:24.206,0:14:24.240
00:14:24:02 - 00:14:40:02
Speaker 1
0:14:24.240,0:14:29.440
And I made the same mistake against the
Jets last year when the Bills lost and an
0:14:29.440,0:14:35.200
upset and I was in Florida traveling and so
I made sure to at least watch the game this
0:14:35.200,0:14:40.280
time. And it was like heartbreaking.
So were you watching it? I assume.
0:14:40.280,0:14:40.640
00:14:40:03 - 00:14:47:18
Speaker 3
0:14:40.640,0:14:45.240
I was. I was. They would love to be the
last reference to football on this one is.
0:14:45.240,0:14:47.960
00:14:47:20 - 00:15:08:22
Speaker 1
0:14:47.960,0:14:52.080
Yeah, it was a it was a rough I mean, the
bills are set in a in a tough record right
0:14:52.080,0:14:57.920
now compared to what they could be in. But
anyway so let's get we'll kind of get into
0:14:57.920,0:15:03.280
the fraud thing. So this whole year has been
rampant. I mean it's been more than a year. This
0:15:03.280,0:15:08.966
stuff kind of ticked up middle of last year,
2022, and not obviously carried out in 2023.
0:15:08.966,0:15:09.000
00:15:09:00 - 00:15:35:19
Speaker 1
0:15:09.000,0:15:16.800
And we've seen a lot of response, whether it's
from companies changing their their SOP’s or,
0:15:16.800,0:15:22.520
you know, software developers creating
new advancements in their platforms or
0:15:22.520,0:15:27.200
just fully new software platforms coming
out to try and combat certain things. So
0:15:27.200,0:15:32.720
it's a hot topic. And we've had folks on the
show in the past talk about fraud, you know,
0:15:32.720,0:15:36.046
what they're seeing statistically
and and what they're doing about it.
0:15:36.046,0:15:36.080
00:15:35:21 - 00:15:57:06
Speaker 1
0:15:36.080,0:15:40.880
And I really wanted to get your take,
as you know, from the helmet data,
0:15:40.880,0:15:47.560
what would you say the current state of fraud
is from the perspective of arguably what the
0:15:47.560,0:15:53.480
largest load board that's in the industry?
Right. So. Well, how would you basically,
0:15:53.480,0:15:57.206
you know, take us inside the conversation
within data. How are you guys looking at it?
0:15:57.206,0:15:57.240
00:15:57:06 - 00:15:59:23
Speaker 1
0:15:57.240,0:16:00.166
How is it affecting customers and and all of that?
0:16:00.166,0:16:00.200
00:16:00:01 - 00:16:29:18
Speaker 3
0:16:00.200,0:16:05.360
Yeah, yeah. I got a great topic. We could
probably spend all of a lot of time talking
0:16:05.360,0:16:12.760
about fraud and then some, you know, fraud
is not necessarily a new thing for companies
0:16:12.760,0:16:17.760
like us in combating it that it comes in
different dimensions. I'll get back to
0:16:17.760,0:16:24.000
that question in a minute. But if you step
back, the court tendency of a lot of board
0:16:24.000,0:16:29.806
and network between all the participants that
are participating in the law board is trust.
0:16:29.806,0:16:29.840
00:16:29:20 - 00:16:54:18
Speaker 3
0:16:29.840,0:16:35.720
You have to you're never going to very rarely
even see or meet the person face to face on
0:16:35.720,0:16:39.040
the other end of the network that you're
doing business with. And a court tendency
0:16:39.040,0:16:44.120
has got to be trust. And when that trust
is violated and you're not sure anymore,
0:16:44.120,0:16:49.440
it leads to a whole bunch of secondary issues.
And fraud is one of those things that causes that
0:16:49.440,0:16:54.966
mistrust and lack of trust and transparency
with other participants in the network.
0:16:54.966,0:16:55.000
00:16:55:00 - 00:17:17:02
Speaker 3
0:16:55.000,0:17:02.640
So we strive really hard to make the network
safe so that participants in the network feel
0:17:02.640,0:17:05.440
like they can trust the other party that
they're doing business with. And that's
0:17:05.440,0:17:12.000
a core tendency of any network business model.
Fraud has manifested itself in the sort of the
0:17:12.000,0:17:17.246
supply chain in multiple different ways
over the years. It has always existed.
0:17:17.246,0:17:17.280
00:17:17:06 - 00:17:44:12
Speaker 3
0:17:17.280,0:17:24.160
It has traditionally existed on the road,
so to speak, with its stolen loads, etc.,
0:17:24.160,0:17:29.160
etc.. But when it starts to get into a network
where you're actually doing transactions with
0:17:29.160,0:17:35.400
one another, finding the right credible party,
knowing full well that that is a party you think
0:17:35.400,0:17:40.520
you're getting when you actually read about
it, that you're actually getting the right one,
0:17:40.520,0:17:44.486
that you can trust them with the load
they are going to show up on time, etc..
0:17:44.486,0:17:44.520
00:17:44:13 - 00:18:11:10
Speaker 3
0:17:44.520,0:17:52.200
So that aspect of fraud has skyrocketed
in the last, I'd say, 24 months, largely
0:17:52.200,0:17:58.480
because of the influx of loads onto the network
post COVID, etc. and that is usually a breeding
0:17:58.480,0:18:04.520
ground for a substantial amount of nefarious
activity. So we've seen a constant spike.
0:18:04.520,0:18:11.446
Dickey's had a 25 person fraud and network
integrity team in place for a long time.
0:18:11.446,0:18:11.480
00:18:11:12 - 00:18:33:10
Speaker 3
0:18:11.480,0:18:17.400
But when the volume of fraudulent activities
starts to surpass the capacity that you can in
0:18:17.400,0:18:22.360
policing and monitoring the network, you have to
take on new measures. And that's where technology
0:18:22.360,0:18:29.520
comes into play. Just this year, we've had to take
action on 8000 accounts that are coming in that
0:18:29.520,0:18:33.446
are come onto the network or trying to come
on to the network that we've had to shut off.
0:18:33.446,0:18:33.480
00:18:33:12 - 00:18:52:20
Speaker 3
0:18:33.480,0:18:38.840
Now, that hurts, right? Because the accounts,
revenue, all of that is an important element
0:18:38.840,0:18:45.200
of how we do business. But when you have
a responsible to do to do the right thing
0:18:45.200,0:18:48.440
in this case, we have to take action on
8000 accounts and we can dive a little
0:18:48.440,0:18:52.966
bit deeper into how we're combating it and
so on. But that's the background, right?
0:18:52.966,0:18:53.000
00:18:52:22 - 00:19:14:00
Speaker 1
0:18:53.000,0:18:59.520
That's crazy. I didn't realize it was you
know, obviously you're right. Fraud has
0:18:59.520,0:19:03.880
existed for a very long time. It just has
a different appearance and a different way
0:19:03.880,0:19:09.760
of of it being carried out right now,
8000 accounts. So that's that's crazy.
0:19:09.760,0:19:13.926
That just gives you like pure now because, I
mean, how many carriers are on your network?
0:19:13.926,0:19:13.960
00:19:14:00 - 00:19:15:12
Speaker 1
0:19:13.960,0:19:15.606
Over 100,000, I would imagine.
0:19:15.606,0:19:15.640
00:19:15:12 - 00:19:43:00
Speaker 3
0:19:15.640,0:19:20.160
Yeah. I mean in the in the peak where
we're pushing 150 to 180000 carriers,
0:19:20.160,0:19:24.680
we're probably down to about 110,000
carriers just given, you know,
0:19:24.680,0:19:29.960
the carrier capacity to from the spot market.
But out of that, if you take 8000 carriers,
0:19:29.960,0:19:33.200
that's not an insignificant amount.
And so over the last two years,
0:19:33.200,0:19:43.206
I'd say there's about been about a 400%, 400%
increase in reported fraudulent activity to us.
0:19:43.206,0:19:43.240
00:19:43:06 - 00:19:46:20
Speaker 3
0:19:43.240,0:19:46.400
And that's the stuff that's getting reported.
So you can imagine what else is going on.
0:19:46.400,0:19:47.080
00:19:46:22 - 00:20:04:01
Speaker 1
0:19:47.080,0:19:50.600
So let me ask you this. So when because
there's different kinds of fraud, right,
0:19:50.600,0:19:56.840
There's identity theft, there's stolen cargo,
there's illegal brokerage, a double brokerage,
0:19:56.840,0:20:00.760
what are the kinds of fraud that that
are being reported on or that you guys
0:20:00.760,0:20:04.326
are seeing or they just name them?
Or is there any more I'm curious.
0:20:04.326,0:20:04.360
00:20:04:05 - 00:20:46:00
Speaker 3
0:20:04.360,0:20:09.120
All of those. Right. So there's there's
actually there's actually so so double
0:20:09.120,0:20:16.680
brokering. There is the the topic of illegal
identities. Right. That comes in two flavors,
0:20:16.680,0:20:23.680
which is stealing your credentials by phishing
that phone or laptop that you are in and so on.
0:20:23.680,0:20:29.440
And then logging into the network with your
credentials or impersonating someone totally
0:20:29.440,0:20:36.880
a bot from a specific country impersonating
as a human and then maybe even conducting
0:20:36.880,0:20:43.080
some credible transactions for three or
four or five months and then suddenly
0:20:43.080,0:20:46.006
taking the theft down and committing a
whole bunch of fraudulent activities.
0:20:46.006,0:20:46.040
00:20:46:00 - 00:21:18:05
Speaker 3
0:20:46.040,0:20:50.200
Because this is classically what happens in
banking where somebody just sort of tests the
0:20:50.200,0:20:57.760
system by being a fake, a true, authentic person,
positive deposit, deposit, deposit, if you got it,
0:20:57.760,0:21:02.000
and then you and then suddenly they take the tech
down and commit that doesn't large transaction
0:21:02.000,0:21:11.040
fraud and then we want and then you combine that
with cyber crime, it is a very complex problem to
0:21:11.040,0:21:18.166
go combat and just educating customers and
educating the industry is not sufficient.
0:21:18.166,0:21:18.200
00:21:18:07 - 00:21:40:02
Speaker 3
0:21:18.200,0:21:22.720
I mean, a lot of players in the industry
that, you know, that forces about how to
0:21:22.720,0:21:26.480
detect fraud and so on, so forth, those are
all credible sources and that's necessary,
0:21:26.480,0:21:30.280
but it's not sufficient. You've got to take it
to the next level to actually apply technology
0:21:30.280,0:21:35.080
to try and minimize that. The extent you
can and then have the follow through off,
0:21:35.080,0:21:39.040
whether it's public private partnerships, then you
can talk about all this stuff in due course here.
0:21:39.040,0:21:40.440
00:21:40:04 - 00:22:10:01
Speaker 1
0:21:40.440,0:21:47.480
Yeah. So I've had to the brokerage that I
work for, we had two of those instances in
0:21:47.480,0:21:52.320
the last year We had one were phishing scams.
Someone was able to get load board credentials
0:21:52.320,0:22:01.160
and post as us and we've had someone just
basically calling not even like logging in,
0:22:01.160,0:22:10.166
but calling other brokers pretending to be or
I'm sorry, calling carriers, pretending to be us.
0:22:10.166,0:22:10.200
00:22:10:03 - 00:22:31:04
Speaker 1
0:22:10.200,0:22:15.600
And we even had like there was doctored rate
confirmations and stuff. I will say that was
0:22:15.600,0:22:20.920
what was really cool. And this is before you guys
have implemented a lot more when the first time
0:22:20.920,0:22:27.280
it ever happened through date, we called right
away to the security team and they they froze
0:22:27.280,0:22:31.206
everything and a monitor and it like the whole day
to see like, where is this traffic coming from.
0:22:31.206,0:22:31.240
00:22:31:08 - 00:22:46:01
Speaker 1
0:22:31.240,0:22:35.720
So it's really cool to see like what you
guys have had even had in place then this
0:22:35.720,0:22:40.120
is months ago before a lot of the you know,
you've implemented a lot more as the this
0:22:40.120,0:22:46.160
has become a crazy, crazy situation.
But yeah, it's it's wild out there.
0:22:46.160,0:22:46.360
00:22:46:05 - 00:23:05:01
Speaker 3
0:22:46.360,0:22:53.520
It is. It's stunning how quickly it's taken
off. But you're also confident that the
0:22:53.520,0:23:01.280
capabilities are here and the partnerships are
here customers, but certainly public and private
0:23:01.280,0:23:05.166
agencies and other technology businesses
to try and make a difference in this story.
0:23:05.166,0:23:05.200
00:23:05:03 - 00:23:31:14
Speaker 2
0:23:05.200,0:23:09.560
So I'm really excited to hear
a little bit more about that,
0:23:09.560,0:23:14.480
too. Some of the partnerships and again, even
if you want to go maybe category by category,
0:23:14.480,0:23:20.360
I'm really curious to hear and again, without
disclosing too much to allow people to get ahead
0:23:20.360,0:23:25.640
of these things. Now, curious how whether
it's partnerships or just the initiatives,
0:23:25.640,0:23:31.000
I know we want to learn about what you guys are
doing with the AI powered risk assessment engine.
0:23:31.000,0:23:31.640
00:23:31:16 - 00:23:49:21
Speaker 2
0:23:31.640,0:23:36.920
I'll kind of let you take it from here on
which category you feel is maybe the most
0:23:36.920,0:23:41.120
immediate threat or maybe the largest. And
I'm not sure if you guys look at it that way,
0:23:41.120,0:23:47.680
but how do you then even prioritize these
to decide what to allocate resources to?
0:23:47.680,0:23:49.880
Is that all of them? And then how does that even.
0:23:49.880,0:23:50.380
00:23:49:21 - 00:24:25:17
Speaker 3
0:23:50.380,0:23:57.400
Create a I appreciate the the flexibility to
deploy it and altitude and not get too far into
0:23:57.400,0:24:04.320
the recipe, if you may. But the framework, the
way to think about it in general for a company
0:24:04.320,0:24:12.560
like ours or anybody in our shoes would be sort
of four things to keep it simple. One would be to
0:24:12.560,0:24:19.200
ensure that you're taking all measures to ensure
that your cyber hygiene and cyber parameters
0:24:19.200,0:24:25.646
are secure, because if you're not cyber secure,
you're leaving a fairly large, vulnerable thing.
0:24:25.646,0:24:25.680
00:24:25:17 - 00:24:48:10
Speaker 3
0:24:25.680,0:24:32.240
And there's always work to do. And nobody's on a
percent in the space. But once you've got cyber
0:24:32.240,0:24:38.160
malware, etc., you know, you've got you've got
business continuity as an issue, right? And those
0:24:38.160,0:24:43.280
things can happen. So that's an obvious one. But
that's we we put a lot of effort into that and we
0:24:43.280,0:24:48.486
have quite a few partners who we partner on the
technology front to actually help us with that.
0:24:48.486,0:24:48.520
00:24:48:10 - 00:25:23:15
Speaker 3
0:24:48.520,0:24:52.360
And I'll probably leave it at that
because anymore more I'd be sort of
0:24:52.360,0:24:58.200
talking specifically about who and where and how
and when. So but rest assured, we spent a lot of
0:24:58.200,0:25:03.280
time on the basic hygiene. Second is what
part of what made this stuff tomorrow year,
0:25:03.280,0:25:11.360
which is ensuring that the first time use and
log in and creation of participation accounts
0:25:11.360,0:25:17.120
in the in the network and the return back into
the network both the perimeter that is first time
0:25:17.120,0:25:23.600
registration validation authentication ensuring
that you are saying you are who you say you are.
0:25:23.600,0:25:23.760
00:25:23:17 - 00:25:47:14
Speaker 3
0:25:23.760,0:25:29.960
All of that has had a lot of work that needed
to get to be done to actually get to a stage
0:25:29.960,0:25:35.000
where it's actually quite robust. That's just
the first time that actually written and every
0:25:35.000,0:25:38.680
time you come back into the network and
there's so many technologies there that
0:25:38.680,0:25:43.640
have to be put in place, obviously basic
things like multi-factor authentication,
0:25:43.640,0:25:47.486
etc. and some more advanced AIB stuff
that we just we're just referencing.
0:25:47.486,0:25:47.520
00:25:47:14 - 00:26:06:01
Speaker 3
0:25:47.520,0:25:52.560
I'll come back to that. But that's
an area that says the most can be
0:25:52.560,0:25:57.840
somewhat more secure and make you glad you
could make it nice that over the past six,
0:25:57.840,0:26:02.320
nine months there has been a substantial amount
of progress on that front because it's a little
0:26:02.320,0:26:06.046
bit of an inconvenience. Every time you've got to
get to multi-factor authentication step in place.
0:26:06.046,0:26:06.080
00:26:06:01 - 00:26:07:09
Speaker 3
0:26:06.080,0:26:07.566
But guess what keeps us safe?
0:26:07.566,0:26:07.600
00:26:07:12 - 00:26:26:17
Speaker 1
0:26:07.600,0:26:12.640
It makes me happy when I do it now. Like I used to
be like, this is so annoying. And then I see, like
0:26:12.640,0:26:16.360
once I got scanned the first time for anything,
I was like, All right, I'm setting it up on
0:26:16.360,0:26:21.040
everything. Like I had my email hacked. Obviously
we mentioned like load board software logins,
0:26:21.040,0:26:26.886
but yeah, I mean, call it an inconvenience if
you want, but it's it serves a much greater good.
0:26:26.886,0:26:26.920
00:26:26:22 - 00:27:00:21
Speaker 3
0:26:26.920,0:26:33.640
It's almost like a security blanket you want to
have around you now once you get used to it. But
0:26:33.640,0:26:38.240
I'll come back to the AI piece of in that realm.
But think about that second area is keeping the
0:26:38.240,0:26:45.600
further safe and first time registration and also
follow authentication back to get on the network.
0:26:45.600,0:26:52.760
The next thing, which is probably the longest form
of attempt, is actually ensuring that the activity
0:26:52.760,0:27:00.640
that's on the network is what it's meant to be,
that there are no bad actors, bad behaviors.
0:27:00.640,0:27:01.000
00:27:00:23 - 00:27:23:21
Speaker 3
0:27:01.000,0:27:05.840
There's a there's a level of acceptable
use policy that has always been there,
0:27:05.840,0:27:11.320
but we've been a lot more diligent about
enforcing it. So if somebody is behaving,
0:27:11.320,0:27:17.880
they're authentic, they're validated, they've
come into the network at least a period of time.
0:27:17.880,0:27:23.440
They've got all the right credentials. Then they
get in and they actually do bad things right.
0:27:23.440,0:27:24.160
00:27:23:23 - 00:27:45:23
Speaker 3
0:27:24.160,0:27:30.920
And we now have the ability to watch rather
than you calling and reporting something.
0:27:30.920,0:27:35.840
We have the ability to watch what's actually
happening on the network and take action from
0:27:35.840,0:27:39.560
using technology to do that. Obviously,
artificial intelligence is a big part
0:27:39.560,0:27:46.046
of that. And being able to you asked me
what are the types of fraud I gave you?
0:27:46.046,0:27:46.080
00:27:46:01 - 00:28:09:20
Speaker 3
0:27:46.080,0:27:52.360
You gave us three and I added a fourth
type. There's probably 50 to 100 signals,
0:27:52.360,0:27:58.240
as we call them. I'm continue to add to those
signals that actually indicate fraudulent
0:27:58.240,0:28:05.600
activity with high confidence. Right. And so
this third area is watching over the network
0:28:05.600,0:28:09.926
and ensuring that we can take action. And that's,
of course, technology plays a large part in that.
0:28:09.926,0:28:09.960
00:28:09:22 - 00:28:32:07
Speaker 3
0:28:09.960,0:28:14.720
And then the fourth area is, of course,
the network integrity fraud team that we
0:28:14.720,0:28:18.960
have that I referenced earlier, working
with public and private relationship,
0:28:18.960,0:28:24.400
there's something like $800 million worth
of fraud cases that have been reported to
0:28:24.400,0:28:28.480
the FBI, that haven't been acted on for
resourcing purposes and what have you,
0:28:28.480,0:28:32.160
but in large part also because
the case files don't exist.
0:28:32.160,0:28:32.520
00:28:32:09 - 00:28:56:14
Speaker 3
0:28:32.520,0:28:37.360
And so partners like us and including
some of our competitors and so on,
0:28:37.360,0:28:45.360
have done a really nice job. And working with
the public entities that are out there and
0:28:45.360,0:28:51.200
providing them the necessary information
at scale to be able to take action when
0:28:51.200,0:28:56.726
needed. So you put it all together. Now you
have a cohesive response to the problem.
0:28:56.726,0:28:56.760
00:28:56:16 - 00:29:15:19
Speaker 2
0:28:56.760,0:29:00.520
So if I what I'm hearing you right is
you've got a better date at the front door,
0:29:00.520,0:29:04.480
right? You got multifactor authentication
for who's coming in the door and vetting
0:29:04.480,0:29:08.520
them. Once they're in there. You now have
better policing, we'll call it policies or
0:29:08.520,0:29:15.766
oversight to be able to get really kind of from a
technology perspective, a view of their behavior.
0:29:15.766,0:29:15.800
00:29:15:19 - 00:29:31:14
Speaker 2
0:29:15.800,0:29:20.480
Is it changing? Is it acting in a way that
seems in line with what everybody else does
0:29:20.480,0:29:25.680
in the market, or does it seem to be? I would
assume that like a pattern change? I mean,
0:29:25.680,0:29:28.520
some that we've heard in the industry
and we've interviewed a few people on
0:29:28.520,0:29:31.486
this topic over this year. As you
know, you've got a carrier, right.
0:29:31.486,0:29:31.520
00:29:31:14 - 00:30:00:16
Speaker 2
0:29:31.520,0:29:34.800
The news one load here and there. Right. And
all of a sudden now they're taking ten loads
0:29:34.800,0:29:40.120
a day and all of a sudden, you know, they've
got one truck registered and that should be
0:29:40.120,0:29:44.800
a flag for layman brokers that are just
doing it manually. But at that scale,
0:29:44.800,0:29:50.280
I got to imagine somehow in there there's
algorithms and AI looking for these behavioral
0:29:50.280,0:29:54.880
changes so that they can be flagged rather
than wait for the instance to be reported,
0:29:54.880,0:30:00.926
and then after the fact, go and eliminate them,
exclude their access, something like that.
0:30:00.926,0:30:00.960
00:30:00:20 - 00:30:22:06
Speaker 3
0:30:00.960,0:30:07.560
Yep. That's a you just gave a signal out
of the 100 or so signals that we monitor.
0:30:07.560,0:30:13.760
That's a great example because the patterns
and the behaviors are quite predictable. And
0:30:13.760,0:30:17.720
when there's there's always going to be
an exception, right? So the globe to go
0:30:17.720,0:30:22.326
to California from Pennsylvania and you're going
to be a slightly different pattern in that case.
0:30:22.326,0:30:22.360
00:30:22:06 - 00:30:38:11
Speaker 3
0:30:22.360,0:30:26.920
But but it's accepted. It's going to be dealt
with. But when it's actually a common pattern,
0:30:26.920,0:30:30.680
that's always an exception, Then you got
it, then you got a flag. So, you know,
0:30:30.680,0:30:34.440
these are the type of things where technology
can play a big role. I know we stepped over
0:30:34.440,0:30:38.366
the question of the risk assessment engine
in that. That's sort of the second topic.
0:30:38.366,0:30:38.400
00:30:38:11 - 00:30:58:11
Speaker 3
0:30:38.400,0:30:42.800
And maybe if I go back to that. So
artificial intelligence, you know,
0:30:42.800,0:30:47.480
besides all the hype that's in the media
these days, it does a really nice job in
0:30:47.480,0:30:53.880
augmenting what humans can do. And actually
good is able to detect what a human I cannot
0:30:53.880,0:30:58.486
necessarily find its patterns and it is
able to flag and do things of that sort.
0:30:58.486,0:30:58.520
00:30:58:11 - 00:31:22:20
Speaker 3
0:30:58.520,0:31:03.000
And, you know, this is a good example of
an application for it. So there's a couple
0:31:03.000,0:31:07.320
of different things that we are deploying
and have deployed and are working on as we
0:31:07.320,0:31:12.040
speak. This last sort of 5 minutes, we've
touched on three different applications
0:31:12.040,0:31:17.160
of artificial intelligence itself. So I
break it down for you. So first is we are
0:31:17.160,0:31:22.760
able to apply artificial intelligence
to keep our cyber perimeter secure.
0:31:22.760,0:31:22.920
00:31:22:22 - 00:31:49:15
Speaker 3
0:31:22.920,0:31:25.960
I'll leave it at that because there's a
partner that we work with that actually
0:31:25.960,0:31:31.960
has leadership in the space in the commercial
world that that we are applying that for that
0:31:31.960,0:31:37.560
purpose. We're also able to take some
pretty significant actions on crime,
0:31:37.560,0:31:41.560
signals of fraud, signals of certain
type of behaviors. For example,
0:31:41.560,0:31:49.566
we have what we call threat intelligence coming
from specific areas or certain IP ranges.
0:31:49.566,0:31:49.600
00:31:49:15 - 00:32:14:09
Speaker 3
0:31:49.600,0:31:54.440
If you may as a simple example that we
can actually detect on a very real time
0:31:54.440,0:31:59.240
basis and take actions by preventing them or
putting them up for additional scrutiny to me,
0:31:59.240,0:32:03.960
that's just one example. First research
example. The second thing you referenced
0:32:03.960,0:32:10.760
was the risk assessment engine. You know,
there are multiple areas of approaches,
0:32:10.760,0:32:14.566
I should say, of assessing a
risk of a carrier or a broker.
0:32:14.566,0:32:14.600
00:32:14:11 - 00:32:40:21
Speaker 3
0:32:14.600,0:32:23.400
Right? What we can't play is just play God and
have a judgment and give a score on a particular
0:32:23.920,0:32:30.680
part of the network. But what we can do is give
other parts of the network a very credible,
0:32:30.680,0:32:37.000
high confidence information that is from
this AI driven risk assessment engine that
0:32:37.000,0:32:40.846
allows them to decide what the risk they
want to engage with on the other party.
0:32:40.846,0:32:40.880
00:32:40:21 - 00:33:18:10
Speaker 3
0:32:40.880,0:32:49.760
So let me give an example of risk. Can be
performance risk, you know, costly like driving
0:32:49.760,0:32:57.720
history, etc.. But then there's also the risk
score with regards to fraudulent activity to power
0:32:57.720,0:33:06.960
units 20 years in service, but only have driven
20,000 miles. And I'd say, okay, well, I'll just
0:33:06.960,0:33:13.080
give me a random example. But that that risk,
once we have that information and by the way,
0:33:13.080,0:33:18.446
you can tack on to insurance and a whole bunch
of other things to it, we have that information.
0:33:18.446,0:33:18.480
00:33:18:12 - 00:33:42:06
Speaker 3
0:33:18.480,0:33:24.200
We have the performance history on the its
network, which is not public data only. We would
0:33:24.200,0:33:29.960
have that the largest network. Now you put all
this in the hands of the other part of the network
0:33:29.960,0:33:35.680
that's doing business with the first part of the
network. That's great information and they can
0:33:35.680,0:33:42.366
decide they all want to decide, not us deciding
for them whether to engage in that party or not.
0:33:42.366,0:33:42.400
00:33:42:07 - 00:33:56:18
Speaker 3
0:33:42.400,0:33:44.920
And that's the big step we
just announced recently,
0:33:44.920,0:33:48.960
actually back on three weeks to three
weeks ago, which is the air driven risk
0:33:48.960,0:33:53.040
assessment engine that puts the power in the
hands of the network participant to decide
0:33:53.040,0:33:56.960
what they want to do on the other side. So
these are some of the air driven examples.
0:33:56.960,0:33:57.076
00:33:56:20 - 00:34:19:13
Speaker 2
0:33:57.076,0:33:59.880
But that's awesome. So you're really
able to thread the needle right,
0:33:59.880,0:34:05.720
in a way that it provides additional trust in
the market for the market participants. Right?
0:34:05.720,0:34:10.280
In a way that doesn't restrict it, right,
Like the way regulation typically does,
0:34:10.280,0:34:15.400
which is usually the common criticism, Hey, we
need protection. If you regulate it, it's going
0:34:15.400,0:34:19.566
to create enough friction that nothing gets done,
everything gets slower and nobody wants that.
0:34:19.566,0:34:19.600
00:34:19:13 - 00:34:39:19
Speaker 2
0:34:19.600,0:34:24.960
But in this way, if I've got as a broker,
better visibility into my risks and using
0:34:24.960,0:34:29.600
a carrier whether it's insurance, you
know, on time, percentage performance,
0:34:29.600,0:34:35.240
any of those things like I'm also making better
decisions also for my customers. Like there's
0:34:35.240,0:34:40.046
added value all the way through the market, from
the shippers through the brokers to the carriers.
0:34:40.046,0:34:40.080
00:34:40:01 - 00:34:47:04
Speaker 2
0:34:40.080,0:34:43.360
And now there's a better incentive for
the carriers to perform in areas where
0:34:43.360,0:34:47.206
they want to do more business. You know, that's.
0:34:47.206,0:34:47.240
00:34:47:06 - 00:34:58:22
Speaker 3
0:34:47.240,0:34:52.240
You nailed it. I mean, you have an obligation
to do that. And we have an obligation to
0:34:52.240,0:34:58.966
provide you with the most information to let
you make that decision for your customers.
0:34:58.966,0:34:59.000
00:34:59:00 - 00:35:18:07
Speaker 1
0:34:59.000,0:35:03.400
I want to take a quick break here and give a shout
out to our friends over at Lean Solutions Group.

Partner with the best visit w WW dot lean
group dot com to learn more that's LTA
0:35:24.020,0:35:29.280
and group dot com. Okay so back to the
risk assessment engine just obviously
0:35:29.280,0:35:34.240
just announced that dad Con what is the
rollout for this look like. If I remember
0:35:34.240,0:35:40.046
correctly something sometime in 2024 is that
we're looking at for full implementation.
0:35:40.046,0:35:40.080
00:35:40:00 - 00:36:00:11
Speaker 3
0:35:40.080,0:35:46.400
We were able to demonstrate a fully functioning
first deployment and prototype of this engine
0:35:46.400,0:35:52.560
and we conceived this thing less than four
months ago. Wow. It was available for several
0:35:52.560,0:35:56.560
hundred of our participants, a deck on to
see which was super proud of the team and
0:35:56.560,0:36:00.360
putting this together from an innovation
standpoint, such a short period of time.
0:36:00.360,0:36:00.600
00:36:00:12 - 00:36:23:19
Speaker 3
0:36:00.600,0:36:04.280
Several of our customers actually
came to us earlier this year and said,
0:36:04.280,0:36:08.600
We want to be part of a working group
to help you kind of conceptualize all
0:36:08.600,0:36:12.280
of this that I shared with you, not just
of engine. They were a big part of giving
0:36:12.280,0:36:18.240
us feedback and here we go. So back to your
question. Our first general availability is
0:36:18.240,0:36:23.760
something like this for initial customer use
will be in the first quarter of next year.
0:36:23.760,0:36:23.920
00:36:23:21 - 00:36:37:18
Speaker 3
0:36:23.920,0:36:27.720
Then we'll start to do web based roll it,
just like we've done with all of the other
0:36:27.720,0:36:32.760
risk and fraud components of technology, but
should be in a very quick roll out available
0:36:32.760,0:36:37.806
to the broad market here in the first
quarter of the second quarter of 2024.
0:36:37.806,0:36:37.831
00:36:37:19 - 00:36:38:13
0:36:37.831,0:36:38.295
Speaker 1
That's awesome.
0:36:38.295,0:36:38.760
00:36:38:19 - 00:36:42:14
Speaker 2
0:36:38.760,0:36:42.135
What are the chances Nate and
I get early access to in 2023?
0:36:42.135,0:36:42.720
00:36:42:16 - 00:36:47:15
Speaker 3
0:36:42.720,0:36:44.680
I think I think we might
have an inside scoop here,
0:36:44.680,0:36:47.806
so I'm sure we can now we
can make that happen. Yes.
0:36:47.806,0:36:47.840
00:36:47:17 - 00:37:11:08
Speaker 1
0:36:47.840,0:36:55.160
Love it. Okay. So, you know, you did that
in four months. Is there a plan to I mean,
0:36:55.160,0:37:01.160
obviously, I would imagine there's going to
be, you know, refine everything as you identify
0:37:01.160,0:37:06.560
other areas that for improvement.
But is there any other major, hey,
0:37:06.560,0:37:11.286
we're going to do X, Y and Z at some point
next year as well, And no detail needed.
0:37:11.286,0:37:11.320
00:37:11:08 - 00:37:17:01
Speaker 1
0:37:11.320,0:37:17.166
But as there are other things kind of on the
horizon for data to combat current issues.
0:37:17.166,0:37:17.200
00:37:17:03 - 00:37:42:11
Speaker 3
0:37:17.200,0:37:22.400
Absolutely. And it's not just about fraud, but
your question is specifically about fraud. So one
0:37:22.400,0:37:28.040
big area that I referenced, which you haven't
really made any public announcements yet,
0:37:28.040,0:37:32.320
but because, you know, you have to assume
that going to be deployed in the background
0:37:32.320,0:37:37.240
is this third area of what I call watching
over the network with all of our hundreds
0:37:37.240,0:37:42.406
of signals that are out there that will go
live sometime next year, early next year.
0:37:42.406,0:37:42.440
00:37:42:11 - 00:38:02:02
Speaker 3
0:37:42.440,0:37:46.680
We have some parts of that working
now, but at scale that will go live
0:37:46.680,0:37:51.280
early part part of next year. And we're
calling it the network Overwatch Engine,
0:37:51.280,0:37:56.720
the data Network Overwatch engine. And that
actually watches over the network, as you
0:37:56.720,0:38:02.086
would expect. This is a third column of the third
area I was talking about, and that is a big deal.
0:38:02.086,0:38:02.120
00:38:02:04 - 00:38:19:18
Speaker 3
0:38:02.120,0:38:05.760
It is very hard. I mean, we have millions
of transactions that go through the network
0:38:05.760,0:38:11.280
every day, you know, hundreds of thousands of
carriers, tens of thousands of brokers. And you
0:38:11.280,0:38:15.520
can imagine the transactions that are happening.
And if you even have a percentage of that being
0:38:15.520,0:38:19.720
fraudulent to watch those activities
in a reaction, that's a lot of work.
0:38:19.720,0:38:19.840
00:38:19:20 - 00:38:48:11
Speaker 3
0:38:19.840,0:38:24.200
And we have the technology that is capable
of doing that. That's going to go out next
0:38:24.200,0:38:27.440
year and stay tuned for that for that is
announcement. And that'll largely happen
0:38:27.440,0:38:30.640
in the background. Right. But it's good
to know when it's actually going live. And
0:38:30.640,0:38:35.280
we have parts of that already in the network
right now. Broadening the lens beyond truck,
0:38:35.280,0:38:42.760
There's a there's a fairly large body of
work which is leadership around Data IQ,
0:38:42.760,0:38:48.400
which is all of the stuff around rates and
benchmarking and forecasting capabilities, etc..
0:38:48.400,0:38:48.520
00:38:48:12 - 00:39:16:09
Speaker 3
0:38:48.520,0:38:52.760
If you thought that was good,
now wait till we have, you know,
0:38:52.760,0:38:56.080
the next level of the engine,
which we're actually calling Raven,
0:38:56.600,0:39:00.880
which is the platform engine using the
next generation of artificial intelligence,
0:39:00.880,0:39:08.720
something like $1.2 trillion worth of loads that
will go through that system computed on a daily
0:39:08.720,0:39:16.446
basis, not on a weekly basis. The coverage of
rates are 1,000% better on the spot market.
0:39:16.446,0:39:16.480
00:39:16:11 - 00:39:39:06
Speaker 3
0:39:16.480,0:39:23.120
With this new engine, some massive innovation.
That's a huge step for improvement. While that
0:39:23.120,0:39:29.080
doesn't directly answer in the area of fraud,
this just gives you an ability to appreciate
0:39:29.080,0:39:34.000
the level of innovation that's happening
in dating and really raising the bar on
0:39:34.000,0:39:39.366
the using artificial intelligence front
as a as an answer to of these problems.
0:39:39.366,0:39:39.400
00:39:39:07 - 00:40:12:13
Speaker 1
0:39:39.400,0:39:44.480
Yeah, I mean, and I love talking about
more than just fraud. So I'm I'm kind
0:39:44.480,0:39:49.800
of curious on that perspective or
on that point not fraud related.
0:39:49.800,0:39:54.840
I've recently been able to use rate
cast and had great success with it,
0:39:54.840,0:40:04.240
and I think that was a really awesome rollout. Is
this going to be is that this new the IQ stuff,
0:40:04.240,0:40:08.000
is that going to be is it kind of same
thing with ray cache words can help you
0:40:08.000,0:40:12.766
predict out you know outbound for you know the
following 12 months or what are we looking at.
0:40:12.766,0:40:12.800
00:40:12:18 - 00:40:32:20
Speaker 3
0:40:12.800,0:40:17.800
Yeah think about that as Ray Gaston on
steroids. Right. It's the the accuracy,
0:40:17.800,0:40:22.800
the speed, the computational model, things
that, you know, we've been doing a step back
0:40:22.800,0:40:27.360
for a minute. You're a user, so you can
appreciate this a lot of this data comes
0:40:27.360,0:40:32.760
from customers like you and shippers and
the usage of the network by the carriers.
0:40:32.760,0:40:33.000
00:40:32:22 - 00:40:52:07
Speaker 3
0:40:33.000,0:40:36.880
And we try to aggregate that in a consumable
way and play back to you so that you have
0:40:36.880,0:40:40.480
high confidence when you actually use that data.
Otherwise you have low confidence. You shouldn't
0:40:40.480,0:40:45.800
be using the data. There's several other smaller
businesses that are coming to the market with the
0:40:45.800,0:40:52.280
small set of data. And for us, we believe that
it starts with the breadth and scale of data.
0:40:52.280,0:40:52.360
00:40:52:09 - 00:41:22:14
Speaker 3
0:40:52.360,0:40:55.560
But at the end of the day, the engine
that consumes it and how real time it
0:40:55.560,0:41:02.800
is and how intelligent it is. So let me
give an example. If in the rate database,
0:41:02.800,0:41:10.600
we don't have the rate from El Paso to Mobile,
Alabama, in that lane specifically for this
0:41:10.600,0:41:18.160
specific equipment type us trying to guess
that with based on something from Dallas to
0:41:18.680,0:41:22.526
Oklahoma City is not going to give you
necessarily what you're looking for.
0:41:22.526,0:41:22.560
00:41:22:14 - 00:41:41:18
Speaker 3
0:41:22.560,0:41:26.360
You may feel good about that. You got it from
the engine, but now with this new engine,
0:41:26.360,0:41:33.560
we can actually extrapolate near exact conditions
of El Paso to Mobile and actually give you some
0:41:33.560,0:41:38.360
very high confidence on that topic. And
that's not possible unless you really have
0:41:38.360,0:41:41.455
the technology and the breadth and depth of
the data set to be able to live off of them.
0:41:41.455,0:41:41.740
00:41:41:23 - 00:41:44:01
Speaker 3
0:41:41.740,0:41:43.375
That makes sense. I mean, it's.
0:41:43.375,0:41:44.200
00:41:44:03 - 00:42:03:13
Speaker 1
0:41:44.200,0:41:49.560
Just about two months ago we had Tamir on talking
about all the data from rate view and what like
0:41:49.560,0:41:54.520
where it comes from, how they sit like, you
know, he broke it down on a Baroni style level
0:41:54.520,0:41:59.400
for us but basically how they sift through and
get the garbage data out and then they've got
0:41:59.400,0:42:03.606
the good data and then what do they do with
it and how does that project on your screen?
0:42:03.606,0:42:03.640
00:42:03:15 - 00:42:26:20
Speaker 1
0:42:03.640,0:42:07.640
And I was always curious because there's and
that you answer the question, right? But I
0:42:07.640,0:42:12.600
was always curious if there's no lane data,
right? Some of these times you're seeing just
0:42:12.600,0:42:20.520
a you're getting a broad geographical location.
another broad geographical location where ideally
0:42:20.520,0:42:26.806
you want a three digit zip code to a three
digit zip code, right? Your perfect world.
0:42:26.806,0:42:26.840
00:42:26:20 - 00:42:34:14
Speaker 1
0:42:26.840,0:42:29.080
And it sounds like you're you're bridging that
0:42:29.080,0:42:34.686
gap for probably some lower density
lanes with that initiative for sure.
0:42:34.686,0:42:34.720
00:42:34:14 - 00:42:52:05
Speaker 3
0:42:34.720,0:42:38.920
Absolutely. I mean, you just nailed
it. It's hyper personalization,
0:42:38.920,0:42:44.160
right? You need to get down to what really
matters to you. Lane equipment type time of
0:42:44.160,0:42:48.040
year. You can finish the sentence of the
variables. That's what matters to you.
0:42:48.040,0:42:51.640
And that's what we strive to. Rather than
think about look at how big our databases.
0:42:51.640,0:42:52.400
00:42:52:06 - 00:43:14:09
Speaker 2
0:42:52.400,0:42:56.440
I got a question specifically
to that, and it's more of like
0:42:56.440,0:43:00.600
a wish and a hope. And I was and it's
something that I've done for years,
0:43:00.600,0:43:04.680
right. And it's the difference between right
contract market and spot market where like if
0:43:04.680,0:43:09.840
I've got a load that's going out this afternoon.
Right. Historic tells me an idea or a range,
0:43:09.840,0:43:14.406
but it doesn't really tell me what's happening
now right this afternoon than a next few hours.
0:43:14.406,0:43:14.440
00:43:14:11 - 00:43:39:23
Speaker 2
0:43:14.440,0:43:17.840
So we're able to go to your market to
see how many trucks are posted or loads
0:43:17.840,0:43:23.520
are posted to see who's offering what. Now,
to get an idea of where that market is now,
0:43:23.520,0:43:28.840
I'd always been curious, is there a way or a
plan at some point to be able to bridge those
0:43:28.840,0:43:35.640
two things? For me to be able to see like a spot
rate today, meaning like I bought my average and
0:43:35.640,0:43:40.086
I could see how all of the massive data is
going be able to get you better info there.
0:43:40.086,0:43:40.120
00:43:40:01 - 00:43:55:11
Speaker 2
0:43:40.120,0:43:44.480
But as it relates to how many trucks are
actually available in El Paso right now
0:43:44.480,0:43:50.120
for a load that's got to pick up in 4 hours, I
feel like there's enough data in your market on
0:43:50.120,0:43:55.320
the load boards. Is there a way or a plan to be
able to turn that into a spot rate predictable.
0:43:55.320,0:43:56.504
00:43:55:13 - 00:44:20:10
Speaker 3
0:43:56.504,0:44:00.280
Because you're nailing your use case? So
first of all, to answer the great question,
0:44:00.280,0:44:07.680
by the way, and so the data do what
you just said exists. There's a
0:44:07.680,0:44:14.280
level of real time notes rather than rearview
looking historical data versus real time data
0:44:14.280,0:44:20.566
with the forecasting ability is exactly what's
coming next. And the data to do that is there.
0:44:20.566,0:44:20.600
00:44:20:14 - 00:44:23:15
Speaker 3
0:44:20.600,0:44:24.606
I should get you assigned on
the product management key.
0:44:24.606,0:44:24.640
00:44:23:17 - 00:44:35:18
Speaker 2
0:44:24.640,0:44:27.480
But looks like that's what we used to do. You
just use your gut, right? You're like, Here's
0:44:27.480,0:44:31.840
where it is and you kind of do it enough that you
get a feel. And I'm like, That is way better than
0:44:31.840,0:44:35.920
our feel for it. So I was like, I can imagine
that's coming around the corner at some point.
0:44:35.920,0:44:35.954
00:44:35:18 - 00:44:53:21
Speaker 1
0:44:35.954,0:44:39.360
Yeah, yeah. Because I'd like Ben to add on
to what you said. The things that like we
0:44:39.360,0:44:42.920
manually look at now if we're, if
you know, if we're doing our job,
0:44:42.920,0:44:48.600
are things like what's the load to truck
ratio or what time of day is it, How close
0:44:48.600,0:44:54.206
are we to a holiday. Right. And those things
are not like if a holiday is a moving target.
0:44:54.206,0:44:54.240
00:44:54:03 - 00:45:17:03
Speaker 1
0:44:54.240,0:44:59.560
Right. Historically, that same date might not
be impacted the way that it is this year. But
0:44:59.560,0:45:04.920
those kinds of things, if they're if those
are factored in and weighed in either on a
0:45:04.920,0:45:12.360
DAT directed algorithm or maybe as a user, you
can, you know, put a weight, I want to, you know,
0:45:12.360,0:45:17.126
give 20% weight to the time of day and 30% weights
and loads of truck ratios, stuff like that.
0:45:17.126,0:45:17.160
00:45:17:03 - 00:45:31:13
Speaker 1
0:45:17.160,0:45:22.600
Right. Maybe you can customize it either
way. Whatever it is that is would be a
0:45:22.600,0:45:26.800
life saver and a huge value add for a lot
of folks trying to work the spot market,
0:45:26.800,0:45:31.646
especially if you're in a crunch. So yeah,
I'm excited to see what comes out there.
0:45:31.646,0:45:31.680
00:45:31:14 - 00:45:50:01
Speaker 3
0:45:31.680,0:45:37.560
Your your, your music to our ears. I
mean, this is the great view versus
0:45:37.560,0:45:44.760
great cast on cast forecast. Yep. On the
New platform is exactly making the pivot
0:45:44.760,0:45:50.166
that you're talking about that that's
great versus current versus future.
0:45:50.166,0:45:50.200
00:45:50:03 - 00:46:14:21
Speaker 1
0:45:50.200,0:45:54.440
Well, the only other question that I have
been and I'll kind of give it to you is
0:45:54.440,0:45:59.560
is there anything else like what do you see
for the future of data? I know you're still
0:45:59.560,0:46:05.320
within your first year at in leadership,
but is there anything big picture vision
0:46:05.320,0:46:11.160
wise that the company has overall? I know
we talk fraa we talk about innovation with
0:46:11.160,0:46:14.966
rates and whatnot in data, but anything
else big on the horizon for the company?
0:46:14.966,0:46:15.000
00:46:14:23 - 00:46:50:13
Speaker 3
0:46:15.000,0:46:22.280
You know, since 1978 from Alger, Betsy's
truck stop and outside of Beaverton,
0:46:22.280,0:46:28.360
Oregon, that is constantly reinventing
itself. Right. Seven years after that,
0:46:28.360,0:46:34.480
we had, you know, the green terminal in 200
truck stops in the United States. For us,
0:46:34.480,0:46:42.240
reinventing ourselves and marginalizing
ourselves with the lens being how do we
0:46:42.240,0:46:50.686
drive more value to our customers that are on
a network is constantly the North star for us.
0:46:50.686,0:46:50.720
00:46:50:15 - 00:47:14:08
Speaker 3
0:46:50.720,0:46:54.800
So innovation for us is not about
the next best mousetrap. I mean,
0:46:54.800,0:47:00.400
you heard some examples about that in
the context of fraud and in IQ. But
0:47:00.400,0:47:09.200
the next big thing of what we do to improve
productivity on the on your front as is from
0:47:09.200,0:47:14.366
a broker perspective, what do we do to give
more intelligence to brokers and shippers?
0:47:14.366,0:47:14.400
00:47:14:10 - 00:47:38:05
Speaker 3
0:47:14.400,0:47:19.800
How do we make the carriers more productive?
We had we have actually had an hackathon going
0:47:19.800,0:47:25.600
on internally about how do we radically
think differently about how a carrier on
0:47:25.600,0:47:33.440
the road can benefit rather than have to go
and do a search in the old way, You know,
0:47:33.440,0:47:38.326
a large portion I don't need to tell you this,
but a very large portion of trucks that head back.
0:47:38.326,0:47:38.360
00:47:38:05 - 00:48:09:03
Speaker 3
0:47:38.360,0:47:45.240
And and it's a problem that we can actually
have solve with exactly the type of things you
0:47:45.240,0:47:49.760
were talking about then, about instantaneous
stuff at that given moment in time. So you'll
0:47:49.760,0:47:56.280
see the next wave of innovation really hitting
at the heart of not just a better load board,
0:47:56.280,0:48:03.360
but actually trying to solve productivity
capabilities on all three of a network and
0:48:03.360,0:48:09.406
changing the way that business actually is done
in helping you change the way you do business.
0:48:09.406,0:48:09.440
00:48:09:09 - 00:48:14:21
Speaker 3
0:48:09.440,0:48:14.966
So stay tuned on that. That'll be the
next wave next year on what you'll see.
0:48:14.966,0:48:15.000
00:48:14:23 - 00:48:25:10
Speaker 2
0:48:15.000,0:48:19.920
That's awesome. I had one last question. I
know we're up on Time is hard. You're a real
0:48:19.920,0:48:25.480
big car guy. What's the vehicle you have in your
stable right now and what's on your wish list?
0:48:25.480,0:48:26.560
00:48:25:12 - 00:48:46:22
Speaker 3
0:48:26.560,0:48:32.440
Well, yeah, those are two very different.
Less wish list is different. If I didn't have
0:48:32.440,0:48:37.240
to deal with the sound abatement orders
in my household, that'll be that'll be
0:48:37.240,0:48:42.880
a 64 Mustang hatchback or something in that
vicinity. But I'd have to have that. I have
0:48:42.880,0:48:46.935
to have a different garage and as a different
Zipcar before my wife talks about that car.
0:48:46.935,0:48:48.280
00:48:46:22 - 00:49:09:06
Speaker 3
0:48:48.280,0:48:52.680
So that's my wish list. But
right now I've got a couple
0:48:52.680,0:48:58.760
that that I can talk about once
a Porsche 911 Turbo Turbo. Yes,
0:48:59.440,0:49:09.406
it's it's quite the machine color here. And then
a Casino Royale edition of the Aston Martin Db9.
0:49:09.406,0:49:09.440
00:49:09:08 - 00:49:13:11
Speaker 1
0:49:09.440,0:49:13.655
Come on. That's that's been like my dream car.
0:49:13.655,0:49:16.280
00:49:13:13 - 00:49:19:12
Speaker 3
0:49:16.280,0:49:19.683
Well, ever. Well, I love it. There's a bit of
bond Will be. Well, we'll get you in there next.
0:49:19.683,0:49:19.708
00:49:19:14 - 00:49:21:01
0:49:19.708,0:49:21.046
Speaker 1
We love it. That's so.
0:49:21.046,0:49:21.080
00:49:21:01 - 00:49:23:15
Speaker 3
0:49:21.080,0:49:23.726
Cool. Hey, as I say, boys and toys, so.
0:49:23.726,0:49:23.751
00:49:23:17 - 00:49:24:07
0:49:23.751,0:49:24.526
Speaker 1
That's right.
0:49:24.526,0:49:24.551
00:49:24:10 - 00:49:25:22
0:49:24.551,0:49:25.320
Speaker 2
For sure.
0:49:25.320,0:49:26.040
00:49:26:00 - 00:49:35:04
Speaker 1
0:49:26.040,0:49:30.280
Well, good stuff. I really enjoyed our
conversation. I got to learn so much and I
0:49:30.280,0:49:35.166
hope everyone listening is excited just as much as
we are for what's coming down the pipeline here.
0:49:35.166,0:49:35.200
00:49:35:04 - 00:49:37:10
Speaker 3

So thank you guys for all you do.

0:49:37.680,0:49:41.126
Yeah, we appreciate it. And anything
you want to close out with Satish?
0:49:41.126,0:49:41.160
00:49:41:00 - 00:50:03:01
Speaker 3
0:49:41.160,0:49:46.800
Well, we we really thank you for giving
us an opportunity with your audience and
0:49:46.800,0:49:52.320
sharing a thing or two because it helps the
industry evolve and mature and become more

resilient on this. But most importantly, we
really appreciate what our clients have done
0:49:58.280,0:50:03.080
to give us the opportunity and the trust to

But we couldn't do it if it didn't have
great data associates delivering on
0:50:06.080,0:50:09.440
this day in and day out. So we
thank you for the opportunity.
0:50:09.440,0:50:12.440
Absolutely. Ben, any closing thoughts here?
