How Efrogs Jumped Ahead of Uber, Lyft in Dallas Ride Sharing

Transportation in urban areas has advanced far beyond subways, taxis and buses. Today customers expect door to door service, and with the options available to them in many cities, they are getting just that. While Uber and Lyft are largely responsible for the changing dynamic of short-distance travel, they were not the first ones…

Transportation in urban areas has advanced far beyond subways, taxis and buses. Today customers expect door to door service, and with the options available to them in many cities, they are getting just that.

While Uber and Lyft are largely responsible for the changing dynamic of short-distance travel, they were not the first ones to think of new forms of personal mobility.

In Dallas, ridesharing company eFrogs has been shuttling passengers around the most popular areas for nightlife and business since 2010. The free trip service started with a business-to-consumer model, but Founding Partner Jeb Morris has shifted a significant amount of attention to B2B endeavors.

EFrogs partners with hotels, restaurants, convention centers and other businesses to set fixed ride schedules that provide more flexibility than buses, and personalized advertising opportunities.

On MarketScale Mornings, Morris explained why Dallas is an ideal place for new modes of transportation and why businesses are buying in to his electric vehicles.

Evans Transportation says AI agents answered 100,000+ inbound carrier calls in months

Evans Transportation says AI agents answered 100,000+ inbound carrier calls in months

Evans Transportation says AI agents have answered more than 100,000 inbound carrier calls over the past several months and cut manual order entry to one or two touches per person per day. Inbound Logistics also cites McKinsey ranges of 5% to 20% logistics cost reductions and a 15x ROI example for AI dispatcher agents.

  • 01Touchless order intake typically shows up downstream as fewer billing disputes and a shorter order-to-tender cycle, making those useful metrics to pressure-test.
  • 02Supplier-risk pilots are common, but scaling still breaks on basics: data quality, skills, and ROI clarity, per Proxima’s CEO survey cited by Inbound Logistics.

Tesla’s Cybercab is live in Austin. Emergency recovery is now the fleet test

Tesla’s Cybercab is live in Austin. Emergency recovery is now the fleet test

Tesla's steering-wheel-free Cybercab is carrying riders in Austin as NHTSA audits its self-certification and firefighters raise scene-clearance concerns. For autonomous-fleet buyers, the launch makes remote intervention, responder access, towing procedures and incident accountability core procurement requirements.

  • 01Cybercab's lack of conventional controls turns emergency recovery into a software, training and fleet-operations problem.
  • 02NHTSA is auditing Tesla's self-certification; the inquiry is not a finding that the vehicle is unsafe.
  • 03Commercial buyers should measure remote support, scene-clearance time and incident-data access before scaling.

Amazon is selling its logistics network to companies outside Amazon, changing 3PL bids

Amazon is opening Amazon Supply Chain Services to businesses that don’t sell on Amazon.com. It bundles freight, storage, fulfillment and parcel delivery. Early users reported by Supply Chain Dive and Logistics Management include 3M, Lands’ End, Procter & Gamble and American Eagle Outfitters.

  • 01Amazon’s pitch is modular procurement, buyers can take one lane or an end-to-end stack, which changes how to structure bid packages and penalty clauses.
  • 02One operational datapoint is Amazon’s scale. Supply Chain Dive said Amazon Supply Chain Services covers freight, distribution, fulfillment and parcel delivery, and that it is available to businesses beyond Amazon’s own sellers.
  • 03Transport Topics’ read that logistics is still fragmented suggests ASCS won’t replace incumbents broadly, but it can become the ‘reference bid’ that resets expectations in specific lanes and service levels.
