The largest trucking bankruptcy in history – WTT

Jim Allen | Dooner

On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking about the fall of Yellow. At noon ET on Sunday, the 99-year-old carrier shut the gates. With a formal bankruptcy announcement expected today by the company, we look back at the last days of Yellow. 

Can ocean imports save a sagging truckload market? Marine Traffic’s Adil Ashiq went from ship captain to techie, and he’s here to let us know what is and isn’t coming on the water this peak season.

Owner-operator Michael Lombard is as passionate about healthy drivers as he is about a healthy market. We’ll get his unique take on what went down at Yellow, a new scam, how to stop double brokering and the key to perfect parking.

We’ve rated plenty of strap work on this show, but what’s the key to proper load securement? Anderson Trucking Service’s Robert Powell is a strap master and is here to show us how it’s done.

Covenant’s Matt McLelland has been ice bucket challenged. He stops by to make good on the challenge and to talk about issues in truck electrification. 

Plus, Cardi B has got great aim; steel-toed flip-flops; drone vs. truck; teaching your kid to shift a Peterbilt; and more.
