Daimler Truck Financial Services USA LLC, the company's largest vehicle finance lender, says it has uncovered evidence of massive fraud perpetrated by Kal Freight against its creditors. Now, Daimler alleges that Kal Freight fraudulently obtained approximately $16.9 million to purchase 164 trailers from Vanguard.

Over the years, the convoy has raised over $9 million to grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Today we'll learn all about it from Make-A-Wish Philadelphia's Lori Dietrich. What were the top four issues in trucking according to the insurance industry? Travelers' Scott Cornell recaps the year that was and looks ahead to trends in '25. WhistlinDiesel recently went viral for destroying a beautiful Peterbilt semi. Today, we'll meet Josh Anderson from CP Anderson. They sold WhistlinDiesel the truck and have the story behind the clip. FreightTech funding is back! Vooma just raised a $13 million series A for its AI supply chain solutions. We'll learn all about it from founder Jesse Buckingham.
