From January 11–14, JoyRide Logistics proudly took part in the NSRMCA 2025 Annual Conference, hosted at the Westgate Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. President Adis Danan and Executive Vice President Kemal H. Balihodzic represented our leadership team at this high-impact event, where logistics professionals from across the country gathered to connect, collaborate, and explore what’s next in our industry.

This year’s conference brought together a wide spectrum of transportation companies, industry vendors, consultants, and technology partners—all focused on the shared goal of driving the logistics industry forward through smart, sustainable solutions.

Key Themes from NSRMCA 2025

Throughout the multi-day event, attendees took part in panel discussions, strategy sessions, and workshops that covered a range of critical topics facing the logistics and transportation sectors today, including:

• Adapting to Market Volatility: Navigating unpredictable freight cycles with agile operations and data-driven planning.
• Tech-Driven Innovation: Leveraging automation, telematics, and real-time visibility tools to improve performance.
• Driver Retention and Workforce Development: Tackling industry-wide labor challenges through smarter recruiting, retention, and culture strategies.
• Safety and Compliance Best Practices: Sharing insights on building a stronger safety-first culture across fleets of all sizes.
• Sustainability in Transportation: Exploring pathways for integrating cleaner technologies and reducing carbon impact.

Throughout the event, Adis and Kemal connected with partners, explored new solutions, and shared how JoyRide is pushing boundaries in operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

Networking Lunch Sponsor: Fueling Conversations That Matter

JoyRide was also honored to serve as the official sponsor of the Networking Lunch, a central gathering point of the conference where participants met face-to-face to share ideas, discuss collaborations, and explore business opportunities.

Sponsoring the lunch wasn’t just about visibility—it was about reinforcing our commitment to community and connection within the industry.

“Every strong partnership starts with a conversation,” said Kemal H. Balihodzic. “This conference reminded us how much innovation is born from simply sitting down and talking to the right people.”

Looking Ahead

NSRMCA 2025 wasn’t just an event on the calendar—it was a clear reminder of the value of community in an industry that’s constantly evolving. For JoyRide, it reaffirmed our belief that collaboration fuels innovation, and that our role as a carrier extends beyond moving freight—we’re here to help move the industry forward.

A special thank you to NSRMCA for organizing such a powerful and engaging event. We’re already looking forward to what next year brings.
