Boutique vs. Bulk: Why Service-First Brokerage is Winning in 2026!

In a market dominated by "Mega-Brokers" and algorithmic pricing, is there still room for the human touch? On this episode, I’m joined by Travis Dodge, founder of Wheelhouse Logistics, to discuss why the "Boutique" model is outperforming the "Bulk" giants in 2026. Travis breaks down the "Wheelhouse" philosophy: focusing on specialized, high-touch service that creates "sticky" shipper relationships and higher margins. If you’re tired of competing on price in the commodity basement, this episode is your blueprint for moving into a high-value niche.
