213: Load Up On Leadership

In this week's show, Brian and Shipper are joined by John Malva, Vice President of Operations for the supply chain division at Pitt Ohio, who shares insights into his role managing third-party logistics, truckload shipments, and dedicated drivers.
John emphasizes the importance of drivers roles, strong leadership, and open communication at Pitt Ohio. He discusses the company's commitment to integrity, highlighted by their decision to forgo a $1.1 million account due to employee mistreatment and their charitable donations. 

The conversation also covers the expansion of Pitt Ohio's services, including freight forwarding, air freight, and international shipping. John highlights the importance of trust in relationships, mentoring young talent, and the growth of the supply chain division. He discusses the company's focus on customer service and industry challenges, such as the Francis Scott Key Bridge closure and developing international shipping capabilities. This was a great conversation, that allowed us to learn a lot about Pitt-Ohio.
