On Episode 750 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking about the Canadian government ordering an end to the rail lockout. CN has ended its lockout, but CPKC is continuing its work stoppage.

Scammers are targeting zero-emission fleets in California by offering them bogus Telsa Semi reservations. Talon Logistics Inc.’s Mike Bush talks about how it works and why his company didn’t fall victim to it. 

A couple of ladies of logistics clap back against creeps contacting them in their direct messages. Just how serious is this problem, and how frequently are women facing harassment online? Shimmi Munson and Lacey Wanczyk share their experiences. 

Journey’s Will Jenkins demos his brand new AI role-playing tool. It allows you to practice cold calls, warm calls, discovery calls and more with AI robots that respond like your target prospects.

Plus, Massachusetts bans new diesel trucks; Pilot sponsors the Volunteers; hybrid workers; and the problem with conestogas.
