·

On Episode 800 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking to Fortis Analysis’ Ross Kennedy about Trump’s early trade moves. From delayed tariffs to the death of de minimis shipments out of China, we’ll cover it all. We’ll also look at Trump saying that the U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip. Is it America first?

FreightWaves and Elizabeth’s Moving & Storage have teamed up to move the world’s largest trainset. Dooner went up to Cincinnati to check out the logistics of this 20-trailer megashipment and rode along in a semi with one of the loads and driver Donny. 

Journey’s Morgan MacDermaid stops by the studio to talk about recruiting in Q1 and how the job market is looking.

Wattsmen Diesel House’s Sam Watts has the top 10 Critical and top 10 Acute violations for 2024.

Plus, MLB Truck Day is the first sign of spring; UPS delivers in North Carolina; and more. 

Catch new shows live at noon EDT Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on FreightWaves LinkedIn, Facebook, X or YouTube, or on demand by looking up WHAT THE TRUCK?!? on your favorite podcast player and at 5 p.m. Eastern on SiriusXM’s Road Dog Trucking Channel 146.
