Summary generated with AI: This episode of "The View from Jamestown" podcast features TCC's July 2025 business update with a full team including customer service manager Jill Goldstein, inside sales manager Nicole Iannuccillo, AJ Petrarca (recently back from an Achilles injury), and company president Robb Roach. The discussion centers heavily on the ongoing challenges of navigating tariffs and trade policy uncertainty, with team members noting that constantly shifting deadlines and conflicting information make business planning extremely difficult. They observe that customers are increasingly operating on a "just-in-time" basis rather than building inventory, leading to more emergency orders as companies avoid holding excess stock due to unpredictable policy changes.

The team reports that while business has been slower during the typical summer period, they're seeing signs of potential pickup in August, particularly for agricultural products like dicyandiamide, BPT, and urea that are needed for spring planting seasons. Ocean freight and port operations are running smoothly with minimal delays once shipments reach US ports, though this is partly attributed to overall reduced demand. They discuss how Chinese suppliers have responded to tariffs by lowering their prices significantly, essentially absorbing much of the tariff impact while maintaining market share.
The conversation also touches on the company's commitment to in-person collaboration, with Robb Roach emphasizing their decision against remote work and their focus on hiring and training young talent. The team promotes their upcoming appearance at the Chemicals America show in Savannah, highlighting their "people, not portals" philosophy that emphasizes personal relationships over automated systems. TLC's Joe Hassenfratz provides a logistics update, noting challenges in the LTL sector and recommending rail transport for longer hauls as a cost-effective solution, while emphasizing the importance of forecasting to help carriers plan capacity and pricing.

Smart Load Planning: Revolutionize Warehouse Operations the Smart Way

This week on the Overdrive Radio podcast, another entry in our 2025 Trucker of the Year competition: https://overdriveonline.com/trucker-of-the-year 

You may have seen Matt Cole’s feature a couple weeks back now about longtime independent Ron Kelsey, who’s achieved something of an "owner-operator holy grail," as it were, trucking for decades now in a 1981 Peterbilt 359 and hauling direct freight for customers that date back three decades for the owner: https://overdriveonline.com/15751895 

Kelsey’s recent-history experience, too, stands as testament to the bedrock value of direct-freight relationships when the proverbial you-know-what hits the fan. With a "freight recession" ballyhooed by prognosticators time and again over the last three years, and spot rates down over the same period, Matt Cole asked Kelsey how he’d fared through tough times of these recent years.

"I really don't notice a change," Kelsey said, on the ground with his two principal customers. "I'm not No. 1 anymore" among independents hauling for them, given as he's progressed in his career he's not quite as consistently over-the-road as he was in past years. Yet general freight slowdowns he hasn't noticed. "I work when I want to work," and the loads are plentiful, always something availble, loading pipe outbound from the Phoenix and most often steel on the return. Invoiced, customers pay within days, too. 

"I'm very fortunate," he added, but there's more to his business prowess than just following the tides of fate, as you'll hear in the podcast. He’s well set-up to weather anything that comes, ultimately, and has come a long way himself from the young man who would end up inking a deal for his 1981 Pete after two-stepping with the owner way back in 1984. He’s hauled with it ever since, getting his authority 10 years later and building what the Kelsey's Trucking business remains to this day. 

Hear his story in his words in today's episode, starting like many an owner-operator in a straight truck in vocational operations before a trial by fire over the road in the late 1970s.

Freight recession? Trucker of the Month Ron Kelsey just hasn't seen it with two direct customers

"Midnight Freight" is ELLSLEY’s heartfelt country-pop ballad about life’s journey, told through the metaphor of a train racing through the night. With warm acoustic strums, subtle slide guitar, and a steady driving beat, the song balances nostalgia with forward momentum. Lyrically, it paints the picture of chasing dreams and healing wounds while rolling toward an uncertain but hopeful horizon. ELLSLEY’s emotive vocals bring tenderness and strength, capturing both the weight of the past and the promise of tomorrow. “Midnight Freight” expands her catalog with a timeless Americana feel, fusing rugged storytelling with modern country polish.

Midnight Freight Ft. ELLSLEY

Noir procedural trap. No corkboard, no red string. Just paperwork and absence. Baritone cadence over sub-808 and sparse tom hits, moving through burner rotations, UV watermarks, escrow timestamps and freight-yard meetups. The creed runs through the hook: “Keep low. Move clean. Don’t speak. Don’t lean.”
Written & produced by KANTIBUS.
