In this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent break down a volatile week in global logistics where political shifts and cartel violence are fundamentally redrawing the map of North American trade. The discussion centers on the "green gold" wars at the border, exploring a high-stakes reality where cross-border freight has shifted from a capacity challenge to a survival mission. Following the killing of a major cartel boss, violence along U.S.-Mexico freight corridors has surged, prompting shelter-in-place orders for U.S. citizens and a spike in cargo theft. Adding to the complexity, the hosts analyze the economic ripples of President Trump's new 10% global tariff, implemented in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that blocked emergency trade powers. Shifting focus from the border to the facility, Justin Malone, Director of Field Safety at The Miner Corporation, joins the show to highlight why the loading dock—rather than the open highway—is often the most dangerous part of an operation. Malone breaks down the "handoff" moment where communication between drivers and facilities frequently fails, leading to life-threatening risks. He dives deep into the phenomenon of "trailer creep," explaining why this silent killer occurs and how basic safety tools like wheel chocks and dock locks are often dangerously ignored or misused. The conversation then turns toward the financial core of logistics technology with Matthew Everson, SVP of Sales & Marketing at IntelliTrans. Everson challenges the industry's current obsession with visibility, arguing that tracking dashboards can become "money pits" if they aren't balanced against carrier economics. He asserts that the true financial center of gravity for shippers lies in carrier performance and selection, focusing on the specific KPIs that actually drive profitability. Amidst this tech-heavy discussion, Everson also notes Nashville's rise as a critical emerging hub for both logistics and technology. The episode rounds out with a look at major industry headlines, starting with a judge's approval of $150,000 UPS driver buyouts. The hosts debate whether this move signals a strategic labor reset or serves as a warning sign for the broader industry. Finally, the team covers the immediate logistical impact of a massive winter blizzard that has ground container terminals to a halt at major Northeast ports, adding further strain to an already pressured supply chain. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Friday! On this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, host Malcolm Harris dives into the heavy-hitting topics that every fleet leader, broker, and driver needs to hear. Broadcasting live on February 20, 2026, this episode is packed with critical insights to help you understand the latest risks, tools, and strategies for keeping your fleet safe, compliant, and profitable. In this packed episode, Cross-Border Expert Noi Mahoney joins the show to break down the massive news regarding the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential tariff powers, discussing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and what this means for the 2026 trade outlook and cross-border freight flows. Next, Martin Murtland, Vice President of Product at Fleetworthy, introduces Toll360—an AI-driven toll intelligence platform. He explains how fleets are quietly losing money to toll leaks, why tolling is more than just a compliance headache, and how predicting costs can drive serious operational efficiency. Finally, Lewie Pugh, Executive Vice President at OOIDA, tackles one of the biggest safety and regulatory issues in trucking today: chameleon carriers. Lewie walks us through how these carriers evade enforcement, the systemic risks highlighted by the recent Indiana crash, and the congressional actions proposed to stop these networks for good. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

Malcolm kicks off the show with a look at current headlines, including UPS's optimization plan to close 22 sortation centers and the FMCSA's crackdown on CDL non-compliance in Illinois. The segment also highlights rising cargo theft data, noting that California and Texas accounted for 58% of US incidents in 2025. Headlines are followed up with two great interviews. Robert Nathan, Co-founder and CEO of Envoy AI, shares insights from his 20-year career that began in the warehouse and led to building a top-50 freight brokerage. He emphasizes the need for a shift toward human-centric technology, specifically building “carrier copilots” that empower the individual user rather than just the enterprise. Nathan also highlights the reality of systemic margin compression, advising brokerages to prepare for a future where they must operate profitably at margins as low as 7%. Following Nathan, Chris Torrence, Chief Strategy Officer at MapUp, brings a perspective shaped by military logistics and over 25 years in the industry. Torrence argues against the “pressure cooker” mentality of transactional sales, advocating instead for the cultivation of “reputation capital” and long-term relationships. He stresses the importance of personal branding and authenticity, noting that while technology can always be replicated, the trust built through genuine human connection remains the ultimate differentiator in a crowded market. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

In the spring of 1974, a bold experiment arrived on the American sports scene: World Team Tennis (WTT) — a mixed-gender professional league co-founded and championed by Billie Jean King, who envisioned a more inclusive, fan-friendly, and forward-looking version of the sport. WTT challenged tennis tradition and reimagined how the game could be played, packaged, and consumed. With innovative scoring, raucous arena atmospheres, and genuine star power, the league aimed to pull tennis out of the country club and into the mainstream. Men and women competed side-by-side, fans were encouraged to cheer, and matches moved at a faster, television-friendly pace. It was daring, disruptive, and unmistakably ahead of its time. The original incarnation of WTT lasted just five seasons, folding in 1978 amid financial losses, franchise instability, and the realities of building a national sports league before modern media economics took hold. Yet its influence — on tennis, sports marketing, and gender equity — continues to echo decades later. John Schwarz, author of"World Team Tennis and the Legacy of a Sports League", joins the pod this week for a revealing conversation that brings rare firsthand perspective to the original circuit's remarkable story. Schwarz is uniquely positioned to tell it: during WTT's initial 1974-78 run, he separately served in the front offices of both the league itself, and then for one of its most emblematic franchises — the Robert Kraft-owned Boston Lobsters.    In many respects, the Lobsters were a lens into WTT itself — a franchise that embodied the league's ambition, creativity, and community appeal, while also confronting the harsh economic truths that ultimately doomed many teams. Despite its short existence, Schwarz explains why WTT mattered, why it struggled, and why its lessons still resonate in today's evolving sports landscape.

Host Malcolm Harris kicks off a high-impact 2026 episode covering the freight, logistics, and supply chain issues everyone in the industry is feeling right now. Malcolm opens the show with the latest freight headlines — including Amazon last-mile closures, AI-driven DOT enforcement, major broker and carrier developments, and legal decisions that could reshape liability across the industry. Then, the show dives into two must-hear expert conversations:  Mark Becker, President, CEO, and Co-Founder of G10 Fulfillment, joins the show to break down the rapidly growing hazardous goods market. As one of the few Amazon-approved hazmat shippers in the U.S., Mark explains how lithium-ion batteries are transforming e-commerce, where brands often miss on compliance, how regulations are reshaping warehouse operations, and why cutting corners in hazmat shipping creates serious safety risks. Danny Ramon, Director of Intelligence at Overhaul, returns to WHAT THE TRUCK?!? to unpack what's really driving cargo theft in 2026. Danny covers strategic theft, fictitious pickups, physical security gaps, insider risk myths, and how overreliance on technology can create a false sense of security — plus what carriers, brokers, and shippers should audit right now to reduce exposure. This episode covers: Hazmat compliance and lithium battery growth Amazon and carrier enforcement pressure Cargo theft trends and fraud tactics Supply chain security fundamentals vs. tech What logistics leaders need to fix now If you work in freight, logistics, or supply chain security, this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? is a must-watch. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

Nach einer krisenhaften Schaffenspause zum Jahresende tauchen Erik und Lennart mit dem ersten Plausch des Jahres wieder auf – emotional und voller neuer Podcastvorsätze. Und direkt wieder im anekdotischen Modus: Lennart ringt nach sonnigen Tagen mit Kälteschocks und hatte im verschneiten Berlin eine besondere Begegnung mit einem lebendigen Vereinsmaskottchen. Erik hingegen musste sich mit böllernden Eindringlingen herumschlagen und hat den Jahreswechsel verschlafen.Trotz Läufermodus ist die Rückkehr an den Tisch extrem schmerzhaft. Umso schöner, dass ein Verein in Hannover während der ersten Einheiten für Glücksgefühle sorgt – und Erik auch in Monkeytown eine gute Figur macht. Es wird nicht ohne Grund geackert: Beide Plauscher gehen bei den regionalen Meisterschaften an den Start und wissen dank der Community nun, dass In-Game-Coaching auch dialogisch erlaubt ist. Nach einen Blick auf das Final Four, den nie ruhenden WTT-Zirkus und den neuen BVB-Kader gibt es noch einen ausführlichen Trainingstipp. Rezepttipp und Jahreswetter runden den Auftakt ins nächste Podcastjahr ab – unbedingt reinlauschen!

In this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, host Malcolm Harris kicks off 2026 with a deep, perspective-driven conversation on what's really happening across the freight and logistics industry beyond the headlines. The show opens with FreightWaves cross-border reporter Noi Mahoney breaking down major policy and trade developments, including tariff delays, shifting duties, and why U.S.–Mexico freight could emerge as one of the biggest stabilizers for trucking in 2026. Noi shares insights on nearshoring, cross-border truckload demand, warehouse implications, Class 8 truck orders, and the risks that could disrupt current momentum. Next, supply chain veteran Mike Eischer, CEO of One World Supply Chain Consulting, joins the show to unpack where inefficiencies hide inside organizations, how companies should think about disruption as the new norm, and where technology is actually making a real-world impact. Mike offers practical guidance on operational discipline, balancing efficiency with reliability, the limits of automation, and why people remain the most important part of any supply chain. The episode wraps with Chase Osborne of First Star Logistics, who dives into the realities of agent recruiting, marketing, and trust in a tight freight market. Chase discusses what agents are really looking for in 2026, how compensation, culture, and back-office support factor into decision-making, and why transparency and infrastructure matter more than flashy commission offers. This episode is packed with actionable insights for carriers, brokers, shippers, and logistics leaders navigating a complex and evolving freight landscape in 2026. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the first episode of 2026 on WHAT THE TRUCK?!?. Host Malcolm Harris kicks off the new year with an in-depth, no-nonsense conversation with Charles Gracey, often referred to as the “Dr. Phil of trucking,” to break down the biggest issues shaping the freight and trucking industry right now. This episode covers major developments that will impact drivers, carriers, brokers, and industry leaders in 2026, including the federal appeals court ruling against Amazon and what joint-employer accountability could mean for last-mile delivery models. Malcolm and Charles discuss whether this ruling signals a broader shift in labor law, risk allocation, and long-term sustainability for delivery service partners. They dive into why large carrier mergers and acquisitions largely stalled in 2025, exploring indecision, market uncertainty, valuations, and leadership hesitation, and what that means for consolidation in 2026. The conversation also examines leverage in today's freight market, capacity pressures, driver pay, and why the power balance still isn't in drivers' favor. Autonomous trucking takes center stage as California moves closer to allowing testing and deployment of heavy-duty driverless trucks. The discussion addresses safety, cybersecurity, liability, regulatory gaps, and the often-ignored human cost of automation, including what happens to drivers if jobs are displaced. Other key topics include:- Peak season performance and why “best in recent memory” may not mean much- Sudden carrier shutdowns during the holidays and what they reveal about leadership, diversification, and planning- The lack of meaningful protections for drivers when companies collapse- Why 2026 may become a relationship-driven year for freight rather than a transactional one- Barriers to entry, industry integrity, and the need for higher standards without killing opportunity- How executives can avoid being disconnected from day-to-day operations- Why innovation fails when drivers and frontline workers aren't truly involved This episode is a candid, wide-ranging look at where trucking has been, where it's heading, and what needs to change for the industry to rebuild trust, stability, and integrity in 2026. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

On a wintry weekend with temperatures hovering just above freezing, an indoor ski dome in the eastern Chinese city of Wuxi, Jiangsu province, buzzed with the sound of beginners shrieking their way down the slopes, many of whom had never touched a pair of skis before.在一个气温徘徊在零上几度的寒冬周末，位于中国东部江苏省无锡市的一座室内滑雪馆里，初学者的尖叫声此起彼伏。许多人滑下雪坡时都尖叫连连，其中不少人还是第一次接触滑雪板。"It's my first try," said local resident Wang Yue, still brushing off snow after a fall. "But I've already picked up the basics. I'm determined to become a cool, skilled skier this winter."“这是我第一次尝试，”当地居民王悦（音译）说着，仍在拍打身上的积雪，刚摔了一跤，“但我已经掌握了基本技巧。这个冬天，我决心成为一名酷炫又技术娴熟的滑雪者。”The Wuxi facility, mid-sized by regional standards, draws nearly half a million visits a year and generates more than 180 million yuan ($25.5 million) in sports-related spending. It is one example of how regions without natural snowfall are cashing in as China's winter sports season gains momentum.无锡滑雪场按地区标准属于中型规模，每年接待游客近50万人次，创造逾1.8亿元人民币（合2550万美元）的体育相关消费。随着中国冬季运动热潮兴起，该滑雪场成为无天然降雪地区借势盈利的典型案例。As temperatures drop, more regions are turning ice and snow into economic activity. According to an official industry report, China's ice-and-snow sector is expected to surpass 1 trillion yuan this year.随着气温下降，越来越多的地区正将冰雪转化为经济活动。根据官方行业报告，中国冰雪产业规模今年有望突破1万亿元。Sports boom体育热潮Northern China, where winter arrives early and lasts long, remains the country's primary arena for winter sports. On Nov 29, the northernmost city of Mohe in Heilongjiang province welcomed its first snow-tourism charter train of the season as more than 300 travelers set out to chase ice sculptures, forest landscapes and fresh powder.中国北方地区冬季来得早、持续时间长，仍是全国冬季运动的主要舞台。11月29日，黑龙江省最北端的城市漠河迎来今冬首列冰雪旅游专列，300余名游客踏上追寻冰雕、森林景观和新雪的旅程。In Harbin's Yabuli, a steady stream of visitors has arrived since the ski resort opened its slopes on Nov 7. "We now receive more than 2,000 visitors a day, up 12 percent from last year," said Yang Xiaodong of Yabuli's culture and tourism department.自11月7日哈尔滨亚布力滑雪场开放雪道以来，游客络绎不绝。亚布力管委会文旅处负责人杨晓冬表示：“目前日均接待游客超过2000人次，较去年同期增长12%。”As a competition venue for this year's Asian Winter Games, Yabuli plans to stage more than 30 professional events and public activities during the new snow season. It will also addacrobatic shows and other entertainment to enrich visitor experiences.作为今年亚洲冬季运动会的比赛场地，亚布力计划在新雪季期间举办30余场专业赛事和公众活动，还将新增杂技表演等娱乐项目，丰富游客体验。Data from travel platform Trip.com showed that from November to February, bookings for ice-and-snow attractions are expected to jump around 70 percent year-on-year, with inbound tour reservations rising by about half. Ski resort ticket bookings have surged more than twofold since early November.旅游平台携程数据显示，11月至次年2月期间，冰雪旅游产品预订量预计同比增长约70%，入境旅游产品预订量增长约50%。自11月初以来，滑雪场门票预订量已激增逾两倍。Such sports fever is not limited to snowfields. Across stadiums, courts and parks in cities and villages, sports are increasingly being linked with travel, food and shopping in ways that are supporting domestic demand.这种体育热潮不仅限于雪场。在城乡各体育场馆、球场和公园里，体育活动正日益与旅游、餐饮和购物相结合，从而支撑着国民需求。Few stories illustrate this better than Jiangsu's grassroots football sensation, the Su Super League. What began as a provincial competition this year exploded into a national phenomenon, with 85 matches, 2.43 million in-personspectators, average attendance nearing 30,000 and 2.2 billion online views.没有什么故事比江苏草根足球的奇迹——苏超联赛更能说明这一点了。这项今年刚起步的省级赛事，已迅速发展成为全国性的现象：共举办85场比赛，吸引243万现场观众，场均上座率接近3万人次，线上观看量达22亿次。To create a stadium atmosphere for fans unable to secure tickets, organizers set up 573 fan zones across the province, each with giant screens, food stalls, retail booths and late-night entertainment.为让未能购得门票的球迷也能感受现场氛围，主办方在全省设立了573个球迷区，每个区域都配备巨型屏幕、小吃摊、零售摊位及深夜娱乐活动。"Every one yuan spent on a ticket drove 7.3 yuan in additional consumption," said Wu Haiyun, a provincial commerce official, adding that the league brought more than 38 billion yuan in related spending.江苏省商务厅副厅长吴海云表示：“每消费1元购票款，就能带动7.3元的额外消费。”他补充表示联赛带动了超过380亿元的相关消费。Sports-led travel has become one of China's social trends. During the 15th National Games held across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in November, Guangzhou launched 50 sightseeing routes linking venues and city landmarks, alongside more than 2,000 cultural events.体育旅游已成为中国社会潮流之一。11月在粤港澳大湾区举行的第十五届全国运动会期间，广州推出了50条串联赛场与城市地标的观光路线，并举办了2000余场文化活动。Data from Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, showed that during the Games, hotel spending in Guangzhou rose 114.5 percent year-on-year, while leisure and entertainment consumption climbed more than 134 percent. Sales of Games-themed merchandise are expected to reach 1 billion yuan.抖音数据显示，全运会期间广州酒店消费同比增长114.5%，休闲娱乐消费增幅超过134%。全运会主题商品销售额预计将达10亿元。Shanghai delivered a similar surge during its National Day holiday sports calendar. Six major events, including the 2025 Shanghai Masters and the World Rowing Championships, drew more than 800,000 spectators. Luxury hotels hit near-full capacity, and sales in key commercial districts rose 42 percent year-on-year.国庆假期期间，上海的体育赛事同样掀起热潮。包括2025年上海大师赛和世界赛艇锦标赛在内的六项重大赛事，共吸引逾80万观众到场观赛。豪华酒店入住率逼近满额，核心商业区销售额同比增长42%。Beijing, hosting the 2025 China Open and WTT China Smash, also saw unprecedented crowds. The tennis tournament alone drew 360,000 spectators, generating record ticket revenue and brisk sales of licensed merchandise.北京作为2025年中国网球公开赛和WTT中国网球公开赛的举办地，也迎来了空前的观众规模。仅网球赛事就吸引了36万名观众，创下门票收入纪录，并带动了授权商品的热销。Growth engine增长引擎"Sports events, culture and tourism have formed a new ecosystem," said Si Zengchuo, a professor at Jiangsu Normal University. "This integrated model—combining sightseeing, shopping and event experiences—is now spreading nationwide."江苏师范大学教授司增绰（音译）指出：“体育赛事、文化与旅游已形成新的生态系统。这种集观光、购物与赛事体验于一体的融合模式，正在全国范围内推广。”The rise in sports spending aligns with a broader push to upgrade the consumer economy. According to China's latest blueprint, the total output of the sports industry will exceed 7 trillion yuan by 2030, driven by event-related spending and the fusion of sports, culture and tourism.体育消费的增长与推动消费经济升级的整体趋势相契合。根据中国最新规划，到2030年，体育产业总产值将突破7万亿元，其增长动力主要来自赛事相关消费以及体育、文化和旅游产业的融合发展。To accelerate that momentum, Jiangsu has announced plans to expand event-related consumption scenarios, turning stadiums, sports parks and outdoor campsites into immersive commercial hubs.为加速这一势头，江苏宣布计划拓展赛事相关消费场景，将体育场馆、运动公园和户外营地打造成沉浸式商业中心。Local authorities are encouraging the rollout of sportsvouchers, spending rebates and discount programs. Integrated packages bundling tickets, transport, hotels, dining and cultural attractions are being explored across the province.地方政府正积极推广体育活动代金券、消费返现及折扣计划。全省范围内正探索推出整合套票方案，涵盖门票、交通、酒店、餐饮及文化景点等项目。The eastern manufacturing hub also aims to boost its sports equipment sector by building industrial clusters with annual output of more than 3 billion yuan each, focusing on outdoor gear, fitness facilities and materials for sports venues.江苏省这一东部制造业中心还计划通过建设年产值均超过30亿元的产业集群，重点发展户外装备、健身器材和体育场馆材料，以推动其体育器材产业的升级。To spur winter consumption, several northern regions have introduced "snow break", encouraging schools and families to embrace winter sports programs. Ski resorts are offering winter camps, cultural workshops and discounted family packages.为提振冬季消费，北方多个地区推出“雪假”政策，鼓励学校和家庭参与冬季运动项目。滑雪场纷纷推出冬季营地、文化工作坊及家庭优惠套餐。Transport authorities, meanwhile, are adding seasonal trains and flights to meet travel demand. Some railway lines now allow passengers to carry ski equipment on board and offer designated storage space.与此同时，交通部门正增开季节性列车和航班以满足出行需求。部分铁路线路现允许乘客携带滑雪装备上车，并提供专用存放空间。Experts say such measures are turning sports into a driver of economic vitality. According to China's General Administration of Sport, the country's sports industry has grown at an average annual rate of more than 10 percent over the past five years.专家指出，这些举措正推动体育成为经济活力的引擎。据中国国家体育总局统计，过去五年间，我国体育产业年均增速超过10%。Expanded facilities have also boosted participation. By the end of 2024, China boasted 4.84 million sports venues, averaging 3 square meters of sports area per person. The number of ski resorts alone had jumped 136 percent since 2018, rising from 1,133 to 2,678.设施扩建也推动了参与度提升。截至2024年底，中国拥有484万处体育场馆，人均体育场地面积达3平方米。仅滑雪场数量就较2018年激增136%，从1133个增至2678个。"Venues are the foundation, but the real shift happens beyond the arena," said Ding Xiang, an associate professor at Nanjing University. "People are finding emotional connection and even cultural identity through sports in a city, and that's where the long-term economic value lies."南京大学副教授丁翔指出：“场馆是基础，但真正的转变发生在场馆之外。人们通过城市体育活动建立情感纽带，甚至形成文化认同，这才是长远经济价值所在。”spectatorsn./spekˈteɪ.t̬ɚ/（尤指）现场观众vouchern./ˈvaʊ.tʃɚ/代金券acrobaticadj./ˌæk.rəˈbæt̬.ɪk/杂技的

On this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, host Malcolm Harris dives into a packed lineup covering the latest issues shaping freight, technology, and trucking regulation. We kick things off with Rudy Nemeth of Veloster Solutions, who breaks down how AI is transforming fleet management through predictive maintenance, smarter safety systems, and advanced route optimization following their recent acquisition of ⁠NextBillion.ai⁠. Next, Magnus Technologies CEO Matt Cartwright joins the show to talk about the real roots of the driver shortage, why it's a systemic issue rather than a people problem, and how empathy, communication, and integrated technology platforms can dramatically improve driver satisfaction and retention. He also shares insights from decades in the industry and why unifying data is the key to modern fleet operations. To wrap up, Andrew Poliakoff, Executive Director of CVTA, gives an inside look at the state of driver training, the federal crackdown on fraudulent training providers, and what fleets, students, and schools need to know about compliance, safety, and upcoming regulatory changes. He explains why proper training matters now more than ever and what red flags new drivers should watch for. Malcolm also covers major news across the country, including Mississippi's crackdown on undocumented drivers, the abrupt shutdown of two Minnesota carriers affecting 200 drivers, and an Ohio logistics owner sentenced for a multimillion-dollar tax evasion scheme. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Visit our sponsor⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to another episode of What the Truck?! with host Malcolm Harris coming to you remotely from sunny Florida as we head into Thanksgiving weekend! Today's double-header is packed with breaking news, powerful storytelling, and industry insights you don't want to miss. First, FreightWaves insider and investigative journalist Noi Mahoney joins the show to break down some of the biggest headlines in freight: Major rail merger concerns at BNSF The halted PFG–US Foods mega-merger A shocking roundup of recent drug-smuggling busts involving auto parts, produce, and more How innocent drivers and carriers can get caught in the crossfire Hotspot border crossings, inspection gaps, and what the next 12–24 months may look like 12,000+ layoffs hitting automotive, food, manufacturing & logistics—and which regions are impacted the most Noi shares what investigators are seeing on the ground, how smugglers hide contraband in freight, and what every carrier, shipper, and driver should know to protect their operation. Then we bring you one of the most inspiring stories in trucking this year.  Meet Stacy Batiste—Marine Corps veteran, community role model, 5-million-mile safe driver, and the official 2025 Pilot Road Warrior Champion.

Malcolm Harris brings together three powerhouse guests who are shaping the future of trucking, supply chain, and transportation technology. First up, Kenneth Hanover, Director of North American Sales & Customer Support at Fleetguard (now operating under Atmos), dives deep into the company's Cummins-rooted heritage, its commitment to engineering-first product excellence, and how Fleetguard empowers truckers through right-to-repair advocacy, unmatched warranties, and one-stop filtration solutions. Ken also shares a fun take on how loud an 18-wheeler's horn really should be—and why truckers deserve both a squeaker and a foghorn. Next, Nidhi Gupta, Co-founder and CEO of Portcast, breaks down why visibility tech still leaves operations firefighting—and how predictive logistics, connected data, and AI-powered insights are transforming supply chains from reactive to proactive. She details real-world examples of customers preventing costly disruptions, how predictive ETAs reshape billing and cash flow, and why touchless supply chains aren't futuristic—they're inevitable. Wrapping up the show is Ronak Amin of HERE Technologies, who sheds light on one of trucking's most expensive and shockingly common problems: bridge strikes. Ronak explains why they happen, how HERE's precise commercial-grade mapping and AI help fleets avoid them, and what the future of routing intelligence looks like—especially as electric trucks enter the mainstream. He also shares leadership lessons and how fleets can adopt smarter routing before disaster strikes. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Visit our sponsor⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.
