It has been just over 2.5 years since COVID-19 shook the foundation of global commerce with no clear end in sight. And the fact remains: the economics of last mile delivery are still broken. What does this mean for today, tomorrow, and beyond? Check out this session from Final Mile Forum 2023 to hear from Keynote Speaker, Anthony Smith of Frieghtwaves to learn more.
Have you ever had a pressing question or issue that you needed to resolved but wished you had the input from an industry expert? Better yet, what if you could gain insights from experienced leaders within each segment of the Final Mile (Sales/Marketing, Operations, HR/Compliance, Finance, and Tech). This open mid session from the Final Mile Forum 2023 allows attendees to engage an all-start C-Suite and walk away with a true 360-degree perspective on the most challenging issues facing the Final Mile.
What leads to a good business model in the final mile sector? There s a lot of information out there! What kind of business am I? Do I need a DOT number? Am I a Broker? What certifications do I need? How so I reduce risk and still operate my business? In this session we address all of these questions and more as we look to better organize our businesses and minimize our risk, particularly in those states that present independent contractor challenges.
Hear from our industry’s most successful CEOs that have weathered the storms through the decades and are still here to talk about it. What enabled them to grow their companies when others failed? What tactics do they believe are indispensable during the most trying of times? This panel has over 100 years of expert knowledge.

For states which have outlawed Independent Contractors, like CA, what are the labor model and driver payment options available to carriers? Hear about the options once your state has disallowed the utilization of ICs. Will the attack on ICs extend to the upcoming Department of Labor (DOL) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rulemaking process? If the DOL or NLRB effectively disallows ICs, what areas of law or unionization activities are affected? And how does the recent joint action of the NLRB and Department of Justice (Antitrust Division) factor into this equation? How will the CLDA be working to preserve our continued utilization of ICs and how can you help?

At the CLDA’s 2022 Executive Leadership Summit, speaker Jennifer McClure discussed the topic of Surviving the Great Resignation: A Roadmap to Meet the Workforce Challenges of Today and Prepare for Future Success. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, a multitude of things have changed – from how we approach everyday life to the structure of a normal workday, nothing feels the same. And in that shift, an interesting trend has emerged: people are quitting their jobs for a variety of reasons, including better career opportunities, changes in their life circumstances, or for some, burnout. Some are even exiting the workforce entirely. In the midst of these concerns, there’s good news for the employers who make the changes necessary to meet the needs and expectations of the workforce of today, in order to remain competitive and to grow their businesses in the future.
