Description
On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is talking to FreightWaves’ Donny Gilbert about what the data in SONAR has to say about the freight market. Are we seeing signs of a recovery? Why are wait times up if freight is down? What do ocean containers tell us about Q1?
Freight Ninja is on a mission to fix truck parking. With only one parking spot for every 11 trucks, this issue costs drivers an estimated $5,900 a year. John Borsellino and Chris Lantz tell us all about their solution to this problem.
Urban drone delivery is Matternet’s goal. We’ll find out from Will Urban and Andreas Raptopoulos how they’re delivering in this highly regulated market and we’ll learn when drones will really take off.
Simply Trade Podcast’s Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles wonder if Santa Claus is a smuggler in the eyes of customs. We’ll look at how shippers and Santa make sure your presents make it out of an intensive exam.
Plus, a strike at DHL; trucker Barbie gains traction; Mack gets ready for Christmas; and what it’s like on a container ship in the Red Sea.
