August 18, 2025

Nancy O’Liddy, Executive Director of the National Industrial Transportation League (NITL), joins Dave Nemo and Jimmy Mac on Nemo Nation for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of freight and transportation.


With over 25 years of association leadership in the supply chain world, Nancy brings deep insight into the issues shaping the industry today, including:

The impact of tariffs on shippers and carriers

How the rail merger may reshape freight flows

The ongoing fight over independent contractor regulations in New Jersey and beyond

Nancy has held key leadership positions with the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) and the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA), and earlier in her career served on Capitol Hill for members of Congress from California and Pennsylvania. Since 2021, she has led NITL, one of the oldest and most influential trade associations in transportation.
