TBeyond the Hype: Building a Human-AI Hybrid Model for Modern Fleets
When we talk about managing risk and controlling costs in trucking and logistics, we usually focus on what’s right in front of us: drivers, trucks, and insurance premiums. But the operational landscape is shifting rapidly. Artificial Intelligence and digital transformations are no longer future buzzwords—they are actively reshaping procurement and supply chains today.
In this episode, host Chris Harris (The Safety Dawg) and co-host John Farquhar, sit down with global experts Kenneth Sievers and Laurent Coulon from EFESO Management Consultants. They break down exactly how fleets can cut through the AI hype, navigate organizational readiness, and find measurable value without losing the crucial human element. Whether you manage a mid-sized fleet or a large logistics organization, this conversation delivers a practical blueprint for the future.
