Folks, it's time I formally introduce myself - Big Kev O'Malley, 30-year trucking veteran and freight specialist who has been recovering from depression for the last 3 months. I'm known as 'Freight Buzz' to some and 'Old Mate' to others. I have enough stories to fill a library and I'm here to share my no-nonsense wisdom and tales about Aussie transport, freight and logistics. A bit about me: 1. I'm a veteran road warrior: I have been hauling freight across Australia since before GPS was a thing. I have navigated every road and highway, delivered everything from stockfeed, booze and bricks and have the innate ability to sniff out the best truck stop pies from 50km away. 2. I hate social media: I an a social unfluencer, but I love story telling and keeping abreast of the latest news. 3. I am politically incorrect and proud: I am as subtle as a road train at full throttle. I tell it as it is with sprinkle of sarcasm and humour. I will give you the unfiltered truth about our industry and the folk who work in it. 4. Loves a good chat: I could talk the hind leg off a donkey. Whether its sharing tips for navigating the roads, recounting stories of trucking humour and horror, or giving my two-cents on industry news. I hope you find I'm worth listening too. Alright, you lot. Welcome to my Freight Buzz page. If you're expecting sugar-coated tales and corporate jargon, you're in the wrong place. I've been in the industry longer than most of you have been alive. But I do respect a lot you younger folk like Blake Milford, Casuarina Smith, Harmanpreet Singh, and Imad El Masri to name a few. Enjoy the ride and let me know if there are any suggestions from you lot. PS. thank to my little gromit of a son for all the images he prepares for my posts. #Logistics #Trucking #SupplyChain #Transport #Freight #InterstateTransport #RoadFreight #TransportServices #Linehaul #Procurement #3PL #Warehousing #Fleet #TruckingNews #cargo #Import #Export #OceanFreight #SeaFreight #AirFreight #Australia

Mention how you work with some great brokers and how you've only had a few negative experiences, then BOOM here comes CrAzY broker guy who doesn't like your rate! He's not the first to attempt to bully me into taking his cheap freight. And then add in "I'm the best-paying broker out there", uhm no buddy you aren't even close! I'm sure we will experience our first-ever freight guard or whatever they use because he didn't like our rate... #BrokerCarrierTensions, this is a big part of it! #carrier #OSOW #Heavyequipment #Freightbroker #owneroperator #trucking #truckinglife #freightquote #heavyhaul #heavyhaultrucking

In the trucking and logistics world, the only constant is movement. Day and night, through rain or shine, the wheels keep turning, and the freight keeps moving. Like many others in this industry, we tackle the challenges every day, testing our resilience and adaptability. But here's the thing—despite the challenges, there's nothing else we'd rather be doing. The satisfaction of overcoming obstacles, the joy of delivering on our promises, and the pride in connecting communities and businesses across the Midwest and beyond make every effort worth it. Because at the end of the day, the never-ending pace of trucking and logistics isn't just what we do—it's who we are. And sometimes, you just have to laugh at the challenges. Here's a little #humor for everyone in the trucking and logistics world. #SuttonTransport #TruckingLife #FridayFunny

Day 194 - Week - 29 - 2024 One of the reasons why people read my daily posts is because I don’t just fill your day with good news and dopamine.... I try to show everyone the daily struggles of running a transport company and how a good day can turn sour really quickly... For example, one of our trucks was bobtailing back to the yard. A simple trip, right? Well, it picked up a rock and smashed the back windshield. That’s $375 down the drain in an instant...Driver Brian was not Harmed That's what's most Important... These are the real costs of doing business. It’s not always glamorous, but it's the reality of the logistics world. Sharing these moments helps us stay grounded and reminds us why resilience and adaptability are crucial in this industry.... #LogisticsLife #TransportChallenges #BusinessReality #EntrepreneurLife #DailyStruggles #Transparency #CostOfDoingBusiness #TruckingIndustry #LessonsLearned #KeepMovingForward

Jose Ramos Experience: Being a Freight Dispatcher for the past 5 years has been a journey filled with learning, growth, and meaningful connections. Early on, I searched for the best way to offer my dispatch services to carriers. Cold calling was a challenge (and sometimes even a bit humorous), but it taught me perseverance. I remember my first client like it was yesterday. I was honest—I knew the basics of dispatching but had never handled his specific type of truck. What I did offer was my dedication, time, and an eagerness to learn. Five years later, although he no longer runs his business, we’ve remained close friends. This experience has shaped my belief that success in this industry isn’t just about knowledge—it's about trust, effort, and the relationships we build along the way. #freightdispatching #storytelling #journey #techapp

Working in LTL sure can be a wild ride. Every day is different, full of moving parts and new challenges. It can feel overwhelming at first, but that’s what makes it exciting! No two days are the same. There’s always something new to learn, there’s always something to improve and we’re always finding better ways to do things. It doesn't take long before you really start to love the hustle. The days fly by, sometimes that a good thing, sometimes it's not. But you find yourself enjoying the job more and more. Even loving it. That’s the magic of LTL. When they say it’s fast-paced, they mean it. When they say it's ever-changing, they mean that, too. And when they say it's rewarding, well, they're not lying. If you want a job where you can grow and have fun, LTL might be for you. Join us at Sutton Transport and see for yourself. ?? #LTL #Logistics #SuttonTransport #TeamSutton #LogisticsLife
