379: Use Effective Rate Management To Boost Your Business, with DrayMaster
Travis Barnier is an industry veteran with deep experience in drayage and intermodal logistics, starting his career in 1997. He founded, grew, and successfully sold a trucking company, an experience that exposed the critical need for a digital rate management solution in the drayage space. This insight led him to co-found DrayMaster, a platform designed to bring efficiency and transparency to truckers and 3PLs. Travis advocates for leveraging technology to automate manual processes, reduce invoice discrepancies, and foster stronger, more collaborative partnerships built on trust.
