What does it take to build a conference that’s actually worth stepping away from your business to attend?

Join us for a special THURSDAY edition of CLDA Final Mile Fridays as CLDA President Lorena Camargo sits down with FMF27 Conference Chair Andrew Brady for a behind-the-scenes look at the 2027 Final Mile Forum in Orlando.

We’ll get into:

🔹 What’s happening behind the scenes as we build FMF27
🔹 The industry challenges shaping the FMF27 education
🔹 Where attendees really get the greatest return on their time and investment
🔹 Why some of the best opportunities at FMF happen outside the sessions
🔹 What first-time attendees should know
🔹 And how longtime attendees can make sure they don’t only gravitate toward the same familiar faces every year 😄

📅 Special THURSDAY Edition: September 3! Join us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7499166922803015680

Whether FMF is already on your calendar, you haven’t attended in a few years, or you’re wondering whether it’s worth stepping away from your business for three days, this conversation is for you.

Come get a look at what we’re building for February 10–12, 2027 in Orlando.

Growth is exciting, but is your compliance keeping up? 🚚💼

As final mile networks scale, managing independent contractors gets more complex. In a recent CLDA Final Mile Fridays conversation, CLDA’s President Lorena Camargo and Openforce’s CEO Wendy Greenland shared a vital reminder: It’s not enough to have a compliant contractor model on paper - you must be able to prove it in practice.

Check out the full recap here: https://clda.org/can-you-prove-your-independent-contractor-model/

Every delivery. Every driver. Every route. Every customer interaction.

It all creates data. But are you actually using it to make better decisions?

We’ll be talking with Arthur Axelrad, Co-Founder and CEO of Dispatch Science, about what it really means to become a data-driven carrier. Tune in this Friday on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7496631172639383552

We’ll get into:

- Which KPIs carriers should actually be paying attention to
- How to measure what matters without getting overwhelmed by data
- How carriers can turn operational data into better business decisions
- Ways data can improve efficiency, customer service, and profitability
- Where AI is creating real value for final mile carriers, and where it’s still hype

Because having more data isn’t the goal. Making better decisions is.

Would an insurance underwriter want to insure your transportation company?

And here’s the bigger question: Do the things that make you a better risk also make you a better business?

Next Friday on CLDA Final Mile Fridays, Brian Jungeberg, CIC of Brown & Brown joins us to share what underwriters notice, what raises red flags, and where transportation companies may be taking on more risk than they realize.

The medical courier industry plays a critical role in healthcare. Every specimen, laboratory sample, medical record, pharmaceutical product, and diagnostic material transported by a courier represents a patient awaiting answers, treatment decisions, or critical care. Because of this responsibility, medical courier operations require a level of training and professionalism that extends far beyond traditional package delivery.
