Network design and expansion is tough with complex LTL operations - particularly when merging companies with their own operations! Products like HaulPlan and DriverPlan make this process much smoother, and more data-driven. We are happy our products can help make huge changes like this successful!
Service center additions for AAA Cooper Transportation and Midwest Motor Express are helping Knight-Swift's growing LTL network. #trucking #LTLterminals

Visiting Southeastern Freight Lines is always a master class in strong culture, leadership, and excellence. Truly grateful to be working with their team to optimize LTL operations!
From past to present, the road to excellence is built on legacy and innovation. Our Director of LTL Products Kory Harb and team recently visited Southeastern Freight Lines, where tradition and forward-thinking solutions go hand in hand. Standing alongside their beautifully restored 1965 Mack B67, this visit was a reminder of SEFL’s commitment to quality—a standard they've upheld since 1950. At Optym, we’re proud to partner with companies that honor their history while embracing the future of logistics.

If you bought it, a trucker brought it. ?? ?? Having just wrapped up my first time attending the 2025 Recruitment & Retention Conference in Nashville, I'm once again reminded this industry is a true community at heart - one built on the foundational principles of trust, respect, communication and an unwavering commitment to keep America moving. ???? I'm also pleased to see this segment of the industry really leaning in towards modernization in an ever-evolving technological landscape - the ultimate goal being to leverage tech/AI where it makes sense in order to enable humans to do what we do best - create and cultivate meaningful relationships with our peers, counterparts, and especially the selfless men & women behind the wheel getting it done 24-7-365. ?? Special shout out to Conversion Interactive Agency, the American Trucking Associations, and Transport Topics for hosting. Optym was also pleased to sponsor this year's event along with TruckersReport.com, Truck Drivers USA, HireRight, Tenstreet, LLC, SiriusXM, Career Driver, Indeed, CDLLife, Double Nickel, GoToro, EBE Technologies, CDLjobs.com, and Drivers Legal Plan, LTD. Great seeing a few familiar faces and making even more new friends: Karen Hines, Seth Mattison, Eric Termuende, Lori Furnell, Robert Costello, Lance Britton, Cody Gray, Stacia Capponi, David broyles, Kimberley Daigle, Dave Renfrew, Dylan Stroud, MBA, Carleen Herndon, Laurie Donaldson, Kailey Firestone, Kelley Walkup, Matt Duncan, Lathen Whited, Jennifer Clark, Elisabeth Barna, Priscilla Peters and many, many more talented folks!
