“My colleagues and I had the pleasure of listening to Larry Gross speak at the JOC Inland Distribution Conference in 2018 and were blown away by his detailed analysis, forecasting, and frankly impressive knowledge of the intermodal industry. He was so engaging and informative that we asked him to speak at our 2019 sales meeting in order to pass along his industry insights to the rest of our team. If you are active in the transportation industry and are not subscribed to his Intermodal In-Depth newsletters, you are doing yourself a disservice."
