SONAR’s Rate Predictor, Telsa’s Cybertruck, CN’s strike and what’s Inside the Box today on FreightWaves Radio

Today on FreightWaves Radio, Dooner and JT Engstrom are bringing listeners all of the top stories from FreightWaves.com.

This week they’re talking about Tesla’s Cybertruck debacle, cameras in the cab canning smoking and texting, the importance of vetting a carrier, and the impact of the CN strike.

FreightWaves Chief Insight Officer Dean Croke calls in to talk about the game-changing impact SONAR 5.0’s Rate Predictor may have on owner-operators, shippers and brokers.

Then FreightWavesTV News Director Emily Szink enters the studio to talk all about FreightWaves’ new TV network, the pilot episode of Inside the Box and making the switch to the FreightWavesTV app.
