Is US-China trade deal bullish for freight; FreightGuard: Fair or foul | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

On Episode 837 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is coming back from Mother’s Day with news on a U.S.-China trade deal. With the U.S. dropping tariffs from 145% to 30%, will it save the summer freight market? We’ll find out why freight leaders are bullish.

Vincent Carrano at Fenichey LLC shares why he recently FreightGuarded a carrier over an incident where the carrier backdoored the company by talking directly to the shipper. We’ll find out if the FreightGuard was fair or foul.

With over 60% of small and medium-size businesses targeted for cyberattacks in the past year, how can shippers, carriers and brokers protect themselves in 2025? Cory Crawford, founder at Verelion Strategic, talks about the latest cyberattack trends in supply chains and shares solutions on protecting your company.

Plus, fatal semitruck crash in Chattanooga, Tennessee; conviction in Massachusetts CDL bribery scam; an unbelievable in-cab flight sim setup; and more.
