On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is talking to FreightWaves’ Craig Fuller and John Paul Hampstead, who break down the last days at Convoy and explains what went wrong. We’ll also learn who else may be in trouble and why winter is coming for brokerages.

Edison Motor’s Chace Barber shows off its brand new electric semi truck and explains how it’s going to bring it to market. We’ll learn the story behind this semi that’s built by truckers for truckers.

Metafora’s Ryan Schreiber joins us from TIA’s Technovations conference to share the vibe from the floor, talk about challenges in the FreightTech market and tell us what tech actually has a chance. 

Mr. Supply Chain Daniel Stanton shares the latest in supply chain career development and learning.
