Reinventing the Wheel with Paul Gatley of Bartell Machinery Systems

We all know the old adage, “you can’t reinvent the wheel.” In the automotive industry, innovation in electric and autonomous vehicle technology is changing that narrative pretty quickly. 3D printing, connected machinery, airless tires, you name it; the wheel is being reinvented, and the manufacturing tools that ensure quality and safe new technology have to adapt alongside it. On today’s Transportation podcast, we were joined by Paul Gatley, VP of Engineering for Bartell Machinery Systems.

“If the tire’s actually rolling more in a shorter period of time, that tire pressure means a big deal,” Gatley said. Gatley breaks down the exciting technology that’s reshaping the wheel and its function for the future of transportation, and how Bartell is staying ahead of the curve with their machinery to ensure efficiency and reliability.

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 from 100 to 120 orders per person per day to a team touching only one or two orders a 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.
