Teamsters give Yellow strike notice; autonomous truck pilots; and state of EV charging – WTT

Teamsters give Yellow strike notice; autonomous truck pilots; and state of EV charging | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is talking to FreightWaves’ Justin Martin and Yellow mechanic Jimmy Harrison about the carrier’s troubles. As Yellow careens toward bankruptcy, we’ll find out where its drivers’ heads are at. They’ll also determine the trucking national anthem; why you should teach your kids about trucking when they’re young; and the insane world of truck racing. 

Torc’s Dan Parker shares insights from its autonomous truck pilots. What does the regulatory landscape hold for AVs as the tech matures? They will also look at how partnerships spur early adoption.

Voltera’s Jonathan Colbert gets us up to speed on the state of Class 8 electric truck charging. We’ll also take an exclusive look at what markets are heating up and which ones are underdeveloped. 


TTN Fleet Solutions’ Tyler Harden says you can’t separate driver satisfaction from well-maintained trucks. We’ll also look at fleet breakdown management.
