LP1411 WHAT Do Carriers Want From YOU in 2025?

In this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, we’re zooming out from inland trucking and straight into the ports with Tom Zeis, brand ambassador and founding team member at Port X Logistics. From launching a company with zero VC funding to navigating the chaos of the pandemic, Tom shares how Port X went from 10 trucks to a $200 million business in just five years.

We dive into what it takes to build a resilient drayage operation in an unpredictable world—tariffs, strikes, vessel delays, and all—and why true leadership starts with culture, heart, and trust. Tom unpacks the evolving role of tech in drayage, how Port X is using AI to streamline manual work, and why the days of treating drayage like an afterthought are long gone.

Plus, a few wing tour stories, a look at the ILA labor contract, and what’s really ahead for the U.S. port system.

From Ad Exec to the King of Tricky Ship: Paul Jarrett on Reinventing Fulfillment for the Modern Brand

In this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, host Jenni Ruiz sits down with Paul Jarrett, co-founder and CEO of Bulu—a 3PL that’s anything but traditional. From growing up in a trailer park to co-founding one of the first subscription box companies, Paul shares the unexpected path that led him from Madison Avenue ad agencies to masterminding logistics for brands like Disney, Clorox, and Hulk Hogan.

Paul unpacks how Bulu evolved from a subscription box startup into a fulfillment powerhouse, mastering the art of “tricky ship”—those complex, high-touch logistics projects most 3PLs avoid. He reveals how listening deeply to customers helped them build tech-enabled, omnichannel solutions that scale, and why empathy and servant leadership are the cornerstones of their business model today.

Expect stories of folding bandanas for Hulk, decoding NFT-infused inventory, and how curiosity, humility, and a solid co-founder (who happens to be his wife) keep the Bulu team future-ready in a shifting global market.

Topics include:

Paul’s journey from advertising to logistics

What it means to do “tricky ship” and why most 3PLs avoid it

Lessons in resilience from the pandemic and beyond

The power of empathy and trust in business partnerships

Why curiosity—not credentials—wins in logistics

If you’ve ever wondered what makes a fulfillment partner truly stand out, this one’s for you.

Praise for the book:
How are cities across the United States reclaiming their streets as more equitable and diverse public spaces for everyone? Reclaiming the Road combines the history of urban planning and street design standards with theoretical insights about mobility politics and struggles for access and equity. Reporting from the front lines of recent post-pandemic physical and cultural transformations of public space in nine major American cities, David L. Prytherch raises profound questions about what streets are for and how they might be equitably shared. The result is a fresh, hopeful vision for intersectional mobility justice and public placemaking.
—Mimi Sheller, author of Mobility Justice: The Politics of Movement in an Age of Extremes

David L. Prytherch gives a crisp, clear, and accessible narrative of the movement to reclaim public streets after one hundred years of domination by private automobile interests. He touches on many of the key players in this epic struggle, from traffic engineers to complete streets and mobility justice advocacy. Steering us through the politics of streets during the Covid-19 pandemic and recovery, this is a refreshingly innovative and optimistic book for anyone concerned about our urban mobility future.
—Jason Henderson, coauthor of Street Fights in Copenhagen: Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility City



Reclaiming the Road: Mobility Justice beyond Complete Streets by David L. Prytherch is available from University of Minnesota Press.
