  • Summary

  • In this episode of The CEO Project Podcast, host Jim Schleckser interviews Brent Yeagy, the CEO of Wabash, a publicly traded company specializing in transportation and distribution assets, including trailers and digital solutions. Wabash, founded in 1985, operates across manufacturing, service, and distribution locations, generating billions in revenue.

    The discussion delves into how Wabash differentiates itself through customer-focused, innovative services, including their subscription-based "trailers as a service" product. This approach helps clients with agile capacity without capital ownership, enhancing flexibility and efficiency for logistics companies. They explore how Wabash’s offerings like agile trailer pools provide a competitive edge in a traditionally low-margin industry.

    The CEO also discusses Wabash's joint ventures and lean operational strategies, which extend beyond manufacturing to encompass strategic and innovative business practices, enabling faster deployment and more adaptable processes. Additionally, Schleckser and the CEO discuss navigating the cyclical nature of the transportation industry, with Wabash’s lean balance sheet providing a foundation for resilience through economic downturns.
