Chips coming to Port of Baltimore, College Hype and rail resolutions

On today’s episode Dooner and The Dude are talking about the CHIPS Act and what it means for ports and the auto industry. Bill Doyle, Executive Director at Maryland Port Administration, leads the top port in the nation for handling automobiles, light trucks, farm and construction machinery. He’s here to fill us in on what’s rolling off the ro-ros. 

School is back in session, football is back and College Hype is here for it. We’ll do a deep dive with the Boston-based apparel brand on how their gear is made. We’ll also see how Mark Reddish, Sales Executive and Jack Doherty, President and CEO at College Hype took the Pats opening week loss. 

Plus, three more railroad unions have reached tentative agreements with U.S. freight railroads; 5 things to watch at Trevor Milton’s trial; Air Jordans looted; new poll says only 17% want to share roads with autonomous trucks; drivers feeling less appreciated; running a marathon in a beer can, football is back and more.
