DAT Guy

DAT Chief Analyst Dean Croke engages in a wide ranging conversation that looks at the effects that local, national, and global events have on freight markets. From international crises to seasonal festivals, the segment follows seemingly unrelated events and ties them back into the trucking markets. Sleeping patterns of teenagers, tensions in the Strait of Taiwan, and seasonal orders of cardboard boxes are among the many topics Dean and host Jimmy Mac track to the ultimate destination of profitability in trucking. Dean loves to say, "you're only as good as your partners," and DAT Guy is a podcast partnership worth the listen.
