On Episode 714 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking about Trump’s vow to end Biden’s EV mandates. Electric trucks have received a lot of blowback from the trucking industry as cost estimates could exceed a trillion dollars, but would this be the right call? We’ll dive into it. 

Speaking of electric trucks and high costs, ZO Motors North America aims to solve that. We’ll learn from CEO Joost de Vries how ZM Trucks plans to build EV trucks at cost parity with diesel.

FreightFacts CEO and co-founder Lance Healy is all about LTL intel. We’ll find out how he’s bringing clarity to LTL shipping. Healy also has some thoughts on noncompetes.

It’s all about kindness and changing the way drivers are hired when we’re joined by F Staff founder and CEO Justin Clarke. 

Plus, Purdue’s charged roadway; freight broker lunches; piano-playing dogs; WWE Chattanooga; and more.
