Maintenance and repair are vital to keeping supply chains moving, but many are missing out on efficiencies that come with better technology. On this edition of The Intermodal Logistics Podcast, we talk about a software that's streamlining the M&R process for intermodal equipment (and truck carriers as well), REACH, with its CEO and co-founder Paul Burgoyne.

Paul tells us how REACH came about, the app-based simplicity of optimizing driver and technician time, the many companies that use the platform (including recent podcast subject DCLI and its RapidLink service), and how most don't - still dealing with spreadsheets and emails instead. He explains how it works for both planned and unplanned (i.e. roadside emergency) events, how it compares to non-freight apps like Uber and how it offers visibility into what had previously been an opaque area in transportation.

It's been an issue as long as trucks and their drivers have traversed the country with freight - where to safely park. Now, technology and innovation have converged to address the problem, with a simple app known as Truck Parking Club. Its CEO and co-Founder Evan Shelley joins us to discuss the genesis of the idea and the progress it's already made since launching in late 2022 - having just passed 1,900 locations across the U.S.

He tells us how simplicity is key, as drivers can book (and lot owners can list) much like AirBNB or Uber, complete with search filters to fit each unique situation and reviews to guide users to the best option. Evan also discusses how the data gathered through the app can help in other areas and his future goals for Truck Parking Club.

Thousands of containers, and thus chassis and trucks, move across the country every day. And while an ideal world would have everything going perfectly each time, wear and tear happens, meaning there's an ongoing need for repairs and maintenance. On this episode of The Intermodal Logistics Podcast, we discuss a (sort of) new nationwide solution - RapidLink Repairs - with RapidLink and DCLI VP of Sales Rob Finch.

Rob explains how RapidLink was borne from DCLI's already robust maintenance network now expanding to customers using other chassis. He tells us the wide variety of trailer and chassis (and beyond) repairs that can happen roadside or by appointment across the country, with an average three-hour call-to-roll time. We also go over the general state of chassis in the U.S., RapidLink's transparent pricing, the need for a national service such as this, and how to become a customer.
