About this episode

Kevin Damoa discusses Glīd Technologies' approach to modernizing first-mile freight movement through autonomous solutions.

Freight congestion and inefficient cargo handoffs remain major pain points across ports, rail yards and industrial corridors. In this Talking Transports podcast, Glīd Technologies founder and CEO Kevin Damoa joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior transportation and logistics analyst Lee Klaskow to discuss how his military logistics experience inspired the company’s autonomous road-to-rail freight platform. Damoa explains how Glīd’s vehicles and AI orchestration software are designed to reduce cargo touches, lower dwell time and activate underused rail infrastructure. He also outlines the company’s dual-use strategy serving both commercial logistics and defense applications, while discussing autonomous deployment timelines and the broader opportunity to modernize first-mile freight movement.
