Private ownership can be a strategic advantage in a volatile freight market. In this Talking Transports podcast, Jarrett’s founder and CEO Mike Jarrett tells Bloomberg Intelligence’s Lee Klaskow that remaining family-owned and debt-free allows the company to focus on culture, long-term customer partnerships and disciplined capital allocation rather than quarterly earnings pressure. Jarrett views technology as an enabler of integration, visibility and efficiency but not a replacement for customer relationships. He discusses the state of the company’s managed transportation, brokerage, forwarding, warehousing and fleet-services businesses. The conversation also touches on supply-chain disruptions, trucking supply, LTL pricing discipline, warehousing expansion and why culture — not leverage — anchors Jarrett’s competitive edge.
