The consumer product is the commodity, Google/FB/Amazon have a monopoly on the attention products need.

In logistics: planes, warehouses, and trucks are commodities. Trains more monopolistic, but that I’m not 100% sure about.

so your original tweet says * people are selling widgets, and that's a commodity game, so the win is to be the tech monopoly that provides consumers (via marketing) * trucks & warehouses are commodity, so win is to be tech monopoly that ... what? provides customers for T & W ?

No, there IS no monopoly on shipping, especially in the last mile delivery and special cargo. It is very fragmented.

Also, up to a few years ago, it was populated with lazy morons, for lack of a better word.

I find this fascinating. What happened to the morons a few years ago? (dropping Byrne because I can't read his side of the conversation)

The begining of start-up logistics companies, people started using better tracking systems. BUT there are still morons and shady dudes in there. A lot of this stuff is contracted out and then sub-contracted out.

I had a young Russian Uber driver tell me about all the BS they'd tell their contractors in order to hold a short-term shipment in order to get another load in it. They'd make up breakdowns, storms, etc. He'd used multiple names/numbers on the phone.

I've heard that car shipping is similar. Tagging @byrneseyeview back in, bc he might have insights. Why is trucking full of so many independent contractors / 1 man firms? Big firms w reputations don't do shady crap nearly as often, bc brand is asset that is devalued. >>
