When a ‘Technology Solution’ is so much more than Technology

For the third year, Iron Sheepdog brought its brokers, contractors and vendors together for the dump truck hauling industry’s only conference focused on raising the standards of people and companies working in asphalt paving, site development, and material and aggregate delivery. Themed Waves of Change, the conference was designed to focus attendees on the ways people and technology are shifting the industry toward addressing the biggest challenges that face not just trucking, but the entire construction material supply chain.

“We introduced this conference for our users to gather feedback on how to prioritize what we develop, make sure our users are maximizing their use of the technology, and give our broker network a chance to come together and form solid working relationships,” explains Mike Van Sickel, Iron Sheepdog CEO. “Each year since, we’ve built on that model to give our brokers even more tips, tools and opportunities through this conference. We’ve added panel discussions, brought expert speakers and provided a chance for brokers to meet with and hear directly from contractors about work that is on the horizon.”

"This conference was beyond what I expected. Learning how to use technology in building my network is everything and seeing other people do this drives home my why."

A premiere event for dump truck brokers, the Iron Sheepdog Broker Conference has grown into a valuable business development opportunity. Some broker feedback from this year says it best:

• “Everyone here is or is going to be a better company working with Iron Sheepdog.”
• “Some people do not want you to enter into a space of growth but when you enter THIS room you know you belong because everyone else has the same energy and intentionality as you.” 
• “I can scale my small business and take it to the next level.”
• “We, the brokers, are being heard.”

Relationships are the foundation of why Iron Sheepdog has found success. From the beginning, Iron Sheepdog has been shaped by our users and their feedback. This conference grows every year and it is, without a doubt, worth the hours of preparation and planning. Our dedication to customer service extends to events like the broker conference. If you are a dump truck broker, mark your calendar for next year. We promise to make it worth your time.

Change is constant, but when we stick to our values and deliver high touch and high tech, we’re more than prepared to ride the #WavesOfChange
