Microsoft and CrowdStrike outage grounds flights, trucking, global trade | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

On Episode 737 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking about a Microsoft outage that has grounded flights nationwide, closed shipping ports and shuttered trucking terminals. What happened, who is impacted and when will things get back to normal? FreightWaves’ Eric Kulisch gets us the latest news.

It takes a flatbed expert to truly rate the strap work. So, I invited J and R Transfer’s Josue Ramos on to teach us how the strap work works. We’ll learn about load securement, best straps and fatherhood in trucking.

Aurora and Uber Freight have teamed to bring autonomous trucking to the digital freight platform. They are launching Premier Autonomy, a new program providing early access to over 1 billion of Aurora’s driverless miles to Uber Freight carriers through 2030. We’re talking to Uber Freight’s Olivia Hu and Aurora’s Zac Andreoni about how the partnership came together and how it works. 

Hogs hit Los Angeles ports this fall. Javier Vera at Toyota Material Handling Solutions and Aura Benchetrat at BlueCargo tell us about the first annual Port of LA/LB charity motorcycle ride. 

Plus new data says people in supply chain don’t have work friends; fire shipments; robot casino cops; and more.
