https://snowingpine.com I write about the stuff that I find interesting. Sometimes, that's a deep dive on the trucking industry, other times, it's about turning 25 and figuring out careers.

Cloud security is going to be one of the largest frontiers in cybersecurity for years to come. Excited to see more open source security solutions!

Awesome. Supply chain security is one of the most important pieces of modern security efforts. Tracking active vulnerabilities to cut through the noise is a super solid approach

Intermodal is actually a relatively small subset of trucking - probably behind generic dry van, reefer, and flatbed. That being said, solar panels are great but what happens when they break down or get damaged. I don't think the saving

Yup exactly! I'm not too sure what the early systems were running on but here's a photo of early DAT load boards - https://www.dat.com/blog/life-before-load-boards

This is another piece that I never got to talk about in my post. There's a LOT of software in trucking, the problem is that most of the software was built in a different era. Platform Science looks pretty cool - seems like a TMS with s

1 - Oh man, this was one of the questions that was asked by almost every investor. The truth is that no one really knows. My best guess is that we're a decade or more away from true self-driving. Augmented driving might be sooner but t

I'm not an expert here on water transportation but I think water is very similar to rail. Both are much more cost and energy efficient. But they require large freight volumes and sacrifice a lot of the flexibility that trucking has. Un

Yeah, I had to heavily edit the piece to ensure that it wasn't a mini-novella. So, for more context on factoring, there are two types - recourse and non-recourse. Recourse factoring means that the factoring company can come back and as

DAT's full name is "Dial a truck". They used to have these large screens in truck stops showing loads and encouraging drivers to call for loads. So I guess these drivers mostly hung out at truck stops (they still do today), j

I'd say it's more market conditions over anything else. Truck drivers generally have poor credit - they're not going to be able to come up with ~400k otherwise. As a result, you get lenders that charge more. Also, repossessin

Agreed with electric trucks! Here's another W22 company focusing on building electric trucks - https://www.sixwheel.com

I actually had some figures around energy impact in earlier drafts of the piece. The issue I kept running into was the range of data - trucking is more inefficient than rail. But the question is how much, it could be as little as 2x more en

Author here - there's definitely a lot about trucking that I didn't get to cover. E.g. growth in autonomous vehicles, the issues recruiting drivers, federal regulation, and the lasting impacts of unions. That being said, human cen

So, the problem here is d realistically is only 12-20. As much as SBF likes people to believe that he discovered a miracle trade, the reality was that he was only early by a couple of weeks and the rest of the world caught on afterwards.

I know someone who went through the Lambda/BloomTech bootcamp. Although they weren't able to transition to a new role, the experience helped them start to code in their job at the time. And iirc, because he didn't land a swe

Unique insight can also mean something that you deeply believe that isn't obvious on the surface. E.g. Doordash with their suburb strategy - I'm sure lots of other delivery companies heard about suburbs. None of them took it serio
