ThinkFreight-Changing the Conversation Between Freight Brokers and Carriers with Dan Lindsey

In this episode of the ThinkFreight Podcast, Thomas Werdine sits down with Dan Lindsey, Founder of Broker-Carrier Summit, to discuss his journey from a TQL broker to a visionary leader in the freight industry. Dan’s path is one that many in the logistics world can relate to—starting out at a large brokerage, discovering his true passion, and then finding his own way. After leaving TQL, Dan ventured into consulting before founding his own brokerage, Linkage Logistics, which he ran from 2020 until 2024. Recently, Dan decided to divest from Linkage to focus full-time on something he launched in 2023: the Broker-Carrier Summit. Dan created Broker-Carrier Summit to address a growing issue in the industry—a disconnect between freight brokers and the carriers they rely on. He saw firsthand how strained these relationships could be and wanted to change the conversation, fostering collaboration and trust between brokers and carriers. Dan and I dive into how this summit is bridging the gap and offering actionable solutions for building lasting relationships that can transform the freight industry.
