US Importers: the ocean isn't where you're losing money. The handoff is. Our CIO and co-owner, Stephen Dedola, joined Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent on WHAT THE TRUCK?!? to unpack demurrage and detention - the coordination failure that quietly drains margins and doesn't take weekends off. Why does it still happen in 2026, with all this technology? Stephen's answer: AI and dashboards are tools. They tell you what happened but they're not making the phone calls or arranging the second pickup. It takes skilled people using the right tools, and the stats show very few freight forwarders actually are. The encouraging part: carriers are using AI to project further out, and the playing field is leveling fast. At Dedola, these tools let us build programs in weeks instead of months. An industry that only got digital contracts a couple of years ago is about to change very quickly. 🎧 Full episode: na2.hubs.ly/H06FDNq0 #SupplyChain #FreightForwarding #Logistics #AI #WhatTheTruck
