Welcome to ULTL VI

ULTL is built around one idea: put the right people in the room and give them space to think.

The Right Room

The Right Content

The Right Outcomes

Raise your LTL IQ

ULTL Live is a curated forum for leaders shaping the future of less-than-truckload freight. Over two focused days, carrier,brokerage, and freight-technology executives come together to explore what's actually working, what's changing, and what's coming next across pricing, growth, and technology. This is not a trade show or a sales pitch. It's a room built for honest conversation, practical insight, and shared learning among peers.

Executive networking

Connect with senior LTL operators, carrier leaders, brokers, and technology executives in a deliberately small, highly relevant setting.

decision-grade content

Sessions designed to inform real decisions around pricing, growth, and technology, grounded in current LTL realities.

substance over spectacle

No trade show floor. No sales pitches. Just focused discussion and shared learning among industry peers.

Agenda at a glance

Instruction & Insight

ULTL VI is designed to sharpen how senior leaders think about the LTL landscape, not overwhelm them with theory. Across two focused days, programming moves from shared industry context to applied, real-world discussion, covering pricing, growth, execution, and network strategy as they exist today.

Connection & Networking

Just as important as the content is the time spent outside the sessions. ULTL intentionally builds space for meaningful connection through shared meals, evening gatherings, and informal conversation.

Day 1 Programming +

Day one is designed to establish shared context. We'll step back from day-to-day execution and focus on the broader forces shaping LTL pricing, growth, and carrier behavior today.

Day 2 Programming +

Day two shifts from framing to application, with sessions focused on real-world strategies, decision-making, and execution.

Lunch, Dinner, Happy Hour +

Connection is built into the experience. Shared meals and informal gatherings create space for conversation beyond the sessions. We'll have a ballroom dinner after sessions conclude on day one, followed by conversation and competition at the walkable arcade bar happy hour. Lunch catered on day two and post-event happy hour provides time to synthesize insights, connect ideas, leave aligned.

A Note from Curtis
‍
ULTL VI continues a conversation that has proven its value: thoughtful, candid dialogue among the people shaping the future of LTL. This event is intentionally built for senior operators, decision-makers, and partners who care deeply about how this industry evolves in practice, not just in theory. It’s a room designed for substance, trust, and real connection, where ideas are challenged, perspectives are sharpened, and relationships are built the right way.
‍
We’re proud of what ULTL has become, and even more excited about where it’s headed. If this kind of environment resonates with you, we'd love to have you in the room.
