How Bruce Oakley Moves America's Food Supply with 30 Towboats and 180 Barges

What if the biggest freight network in America was one most truckers have never seen? Every year, the U.S. moves billions of tons of cargo not by truck or rail — but by river. And more than 60% of everything America grows leaves this country through a single port: New Orleans. Almost all of it gets there the same way — by barge. In this episode, Jared Flynn sits down with Bruce Oakley, one of the most fascinating freight operations in the country — 30 towboats, 180 barges, and a logistics network stretching from the Oklahoma border to the Gulf of America, all built on the banks of the Arkansas River in North Little Rock. This one will change how you think about how America's food supply actually moves.
