Law & Supply Chain

About two decades ago, I walked the same halls as my next guest, James Sidou, VP & General Counsel at Saddle Creek Logistics.  See, Jim & I both attended Michigan State University College of Law. Go Green!

In law school, it's about survival. The first year scares you to death, the second year works you to death, & the third year bores you to death. Or so I've heard.

Fast forward to 2025 & I find myself next to Jim at the Motor Carrier Insurance Education Foundation (MCIEF) where we discussed some of the most challenging legal issues facing motor carriers & 3PLs to a packed house of insurance & compliance professionals. We became fast friends & I learned a ton from him.

In today's conversation, we learn about Jim's journey as a criminal prosector to his time as private lawyer including representing municipalities in eminent domain litigation. Today he serves as General Counsel to one of the largest 3PLs & warehousing companies.
