Growing a Brokerage Feels Tricky
11:00 AM-12:00 PM PT
Fundamental Track
Marriott Grand Ballroom 2
Moderator: Michael Riccio, CTB, Founder & CEO, More Than Miles Consulting
Panelists:
- Peter Rentschler, CEO, Metafora
- Matt Parry, Senior Vice President, Werner Logistics
- Mike Crawford, President, ITS Logistics
- Shannon Breen, Co-Founder & CEO, FreightVana
There are typically three growth hurdles in the lifecycle of a brokerage—the first comes around $20M, the next around $50-75M, and the third around $120-150M. During this session, attendees will learn about various obstacles to growth that many 3PLs face including:
- Unclear goals
- An unstructured go-to-market strategy
- A capacity strategy that misses the mark
- Failure to adopt new technology and systems
- An undefined or nonexistent company culture
Attendees will also learn about potential solutions for each obstacle with specific case study examples and industry highlights.

Taking a proactive approach to risk management is imperative for the long-term success of any business. One of the worst things a 3PL can do is waiting until their top customer decides they are only working with asset-based companies moving forward, thus causing the brokerage to scramble to make up for that revenue loss. During this session, our panel of experts will discuss how most companies unintentionally wait for disaster to strike and then are forced to put out fires, and how companies can best position themselves from being blind-sided by such scenarios.
