More than a year after being lured from Uber Freight, where he was a key figure in building and scaling the freight broker, Bill Driegert now has a new challenge: taking the technology that powered Convoy and turning it into a differentiator for Flexport, the forwarder that hired him in May 2023. The challenge is multifaceted, from resurrecting the connections with Convoy’s carrier base to figuring out how a standalone domestic brokerage technology fits with Flexport’s suite of services and tech for its import and export customers. More broadly, there’s hardly anyone better equipped to understand the challenges and opportunities of technology’s impact on truckload procurement. In this one-on-one Driegert will help attendees better understand the role technology plays in empowering truckload carriers, brokers, and shippers.
