In our second episode of Forward Thinking, a video blog series where we talk to our global membership, we discussed all things Annual Conference in Atlanta, current challenges in the logistics space, and a background to USA Cargo’s involvement in the early days of the Global Freight Group. In the hot-seat, we had Todd Mordecai representing both as the President of USA Cargo and the Chairman of the Global Freight Group.
The upcoming Annual Conference in Atlanta holds special significance as it marks the 30th year since the beginnings of the Global Freight Group. Todd Mordecai, Chairman of the Global Freight Group, shared his excitement about hosting the event in his hometown. He emphasised that this year’s AGM is expected to be the largest and most significant to date, with plans to enhance the experience for all attendees. The group aims to incorporate more events, speakers, and opportunities for members to connect and collaborate, making it a truly memorable and impactful milestone celebration.

“We’re super excited to have everybody in Atlanta. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone and showing them the Southern charm that we have here. Since this year will be the 30th year of the Global Freight Group, we’re going to up the ante on this upcoming Annual Conference.”
The logistics industry is facing a complex landscape, with challenges such as the Panama Canal drought, the Red Sea crisis, and the aftermath of the pandemic. However, these challenges also present opportunities for growth and collaboration. USA Cargo and the Global Freight Group are adapting to these challenges by focusing on customer service, problem-solving, and staying up to date with industry regulations.
Todd Mordecai, Chairman of the Global Freight Group, emphasised the significant benefits of being a member, including the opportunity to compete on a wider market and gain new business from members around the world. He highlighted the importance of building relationships and friendships within the group, which ultimately leads to mutual business and benefits for both companies. Additionally, being part of the Global Freight Group provides a sense of security and a network of problem solvers, allowing members to overcome various challenges in the logistics industry.
