Trucking at 1/64 scale – WTT

On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner and The Dude are talking to the creative minds behind First Gear, inc. to learn all about the world of high-quality replica semi trucks. 

Speaking of scale, have you ever built a trucking company to a 20x revenue? We’ll learn the real-world fundamentals it takes to build a big business and also, how those same core skills are being translated to AI. 

Thieves are dreaming of OLEDs, iPhone 14 Pros, PS5s, Legos and whatever else you got in your trailer. We’ll find out what the hottest items of the holiday will be this holiday season … according to thieves. 

Plus, Milton found guilty; freight conspiracy theories are DTF;  emotional support alligators; J.B. Hunt gives out $250,000 in scholarships; HOS exemption canceled; the high dealer cost of converting to EV; do Boston Dynamics dogs make good pets and more.
