How to Create Resilient, Sustainable, and Profitable Logistics + Transportation with Anshu Prasad, CEO of Leaf Logistics

Today, the transportation industry operates in silos that lead to
a lack of coordination and waste. 30% of the trucks on the road
drive empty. This directly leads to massive excess carbon
emissions that can be significantly reduced through better
planning and network coordination. Not to mention a 90% driver
turnover, uncovering well-being, safety, and social
sustainability opportunities in the logistics industry.


Have you wondered how to drastically reduce your corporate carbon
footprint by filling the empty miles driven by your carriers?


According to Leaf:


— 30% of truck carbon emissions are not associated with material
utility for value-added goods delivery 


— Independent drivers spend 30% of travel time without a paid
load 


— Companies spend 30% of their logistics budgets on
non-value-added services 


In episode 69, host Sheri Hinish chats with Anshu Prasad, CEO of
Leaf Logistics and Transportation-Tech extraordinaire who is
building a more transparent industry-wide network that reveals
exponentially more opportunities for people and planet positive
network coordination. When shippers, carriers, brokers, and other
partners coordinate across the Leaf platform, over $100
Billion in efficiencies can be identified in this $1
Trillion industry.
