Brian unpacks the practical realities of moving perishable goods “from farm to fork”—why strict compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act matters, how cold chain integrity is maintained across thousands of miles, and what happens when partners cut corners. Drawing from Veritas’s own journey of launching in the middle of COVID and scaling to a $40M+ brokerage, he explains how processes, protocols, and culture drive consistency in an industry where one mistake can jeopardize public trust for decades.

From picking the right carrier partners to investing in inspections, seals, temperature monitoring, and constant training, Brian lays out the five pillars that keep Veritas competitive in one of the most demanding logistics sectors. For brokers, shippers, and anyone in food and beverage supply chains, this is a tactical guide to protecting your product, your customers, and your reputation.

The Logistics & Leadership Podcast, powered by Veritas Logistics, redefines logistics and personal growth. Hosted by industry veterans and supply chain leaders Brian Hastings and Justin Maines, it shares their journey from humble beginnings to a $50 million company. Discover invaluable lessons in logistics, mental toughness, and embracing the entrepreneurial spirit.
