FreightCaviar's Ultimate Freight Meme Competition

On Friday, we hosted FreightCaviar’s very first Ultimate Freight Meme Competition. The panel of judges consisted of Will Jenkins, CEO & Founder at Journey, Clayton Griffin, President at OTR Solutions, as well as Matt Silver, Co-Founder and CEO at Cargado.

The rules are simple: our contestants had 60 seconds to come up with a caption for a meme.

We rounded up 8 contestants to battle it out at our first Ultimate Meme Competition: FreightCaviar's own Paul Jaroslawski, Ari Levy, Justin Martin, Will Hopkins, Bob Kruzhinskiy, Boris Panov, Reed Loustalot, and Chase Osborne.
