Podcast: Nate Meyer From Stoops Freightliner Discusses COVID-19 Impacts & Adjustments Within New Truck Market

August 26, 2020

The latest addition to the IN-SITE 2020 Podcast Series’ list of offerings looks at what has been taking place in the new-truck equipment market during 2020. Our feature interview for this podcast will be with Nate Meyer, who is part of the Equipment Sales Team at Stoops Freightliner.

In addition to our conversation with Nate, listeners will also hear a segment with Jason Williams, the President of ES, and Jeff Tacker, the COO of ES. Jason and Jeff will be discussing the strong working relationship that ES has developed over the years with Stoops Freightliner and Truck Country – which stands today as the largest Freightliner dealer group in the United States.

With years of experience in both sales and maintenance, Nate understands the market and the considerations that come into play when considering the purchase of a new truck. As everyone in the trucking industry knows, 2020 has been a year filled with numerous twists and turns revolving around COVID-19 and the fallout from the global pandemic

During our IN-SITE 2020 Podcast interview, we asked Nate to look back at the first six months of 2020 and to discuss what he has seen in the new-truck equipment market. We also talked with Nate on some of the changes that Stoops and Truck Country put into place in response to COVID-19 across all areas of the dealership’s operations.

In looking at the remainder of the year and going forward into 2021, Nate walks us through some of the key questions that professional drivers and fleet owners need to ask themselves when considering the purchase of a new truck.

WEBINAR 2: Trucking In The COVID-19 Era: Partnering with the Right Motor Carrier

August 11, 2020

Live Session: Tuesday, August 25, 2020, 2:00 p.m. EDT

ES is pleased to present the second edition in our IN-SITE 2020 Webinar Series. Just as we did in the IN-SITE 2020 debut webinar, we will once again be exploring the many aspects of trucking in the COVID-19 era. Our second session in the IN-SITE 2020 Webinar Series will focus on partnering with the right motor carrier.

The live broadcast of the webinar will take place on Tuesday, August 25th at 2:00 p.m. EDT. The online replay for the second webinar in the IN-SITE 2020 Webinar Series will be available approximately two hours following the conclusion of the live event. Both the live event and replay are free to all registrants.

Our August 25th webinar will focus on how the partner carriers in the ES Community have adjusted to the challenges the industry has encountered so far in the COVID-19 era. The live session is scheduled to run for one hour.

Just as we did for our series debut in July, ES has once again assembled an expert panel that will be participating in our August edition of the webinar. ES will be taking a slightly different approach in working with our panel during the August live event. Rather than ask our experts to share their insights through a traditional presentation format, our Partnering With The Right Motor Carrier webinar will be a Q&A session.

Leah Shaver, the President and CEO of the National Transportation Institute, will serve as our moderator for the discussion with our carrier partners. Leah, who also serves as a host on SiriusXM’s Road Dog Trucking Radio Channel 146, will be leading the discussion in the style of a fireside chat, highlighting how the partner carriers in the ES Community are moving forward with their operations and meeting the needs of the professional drivers in their respective fleets.

The August 25th webinar hosted by ES will include participation from FedEx Custom Critical, Forward Air and Panther Premium, a Service of ArcBest. All three motor carriers have established long relationships with ES and the ES Community. The motor carrier panelists will be Nick Burch, the Director of Recruiting for Panther Premium, and Ryan Gilliam, the Vice President of Talent for Forward Air, and Zak Mattocks, Managing Director of Operations for FedEx Custom Critical. ES President Jason Williams and Jeff Tacker, the Chief Operating Officer of ES, will also be joining the panel discussion for the August webinar.

For this session in the webinar series, we will be focusing a portion of this discussion on how these partner carriers are currently working with owner-operators and independent contract drivers. In addition, this session will cover the importance of having non-asset capacity options in today’s trucking market. Our expert panel will be examining the challenges and opportunities now found within the COVID-19 era for those professional drivers who are considering becoming owner-operators.

ES is proud to have Stoops Freightliner serve as the Title Sponsor for the IN-SITE 2020 Series. To register for our August 25th live webinar event, Trucking In The COVID-19 Era: Partnering with the Right Motor Carrier, please click here.
