Trucking’s top issues; software driving Nikola; Port of Los Angeles $1T quarter? | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

On Episode 773 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is looking at the American Transportation Research Institute’s list of 2024 Top Trucking Issues. The economy and lawsuit reform top the list while major issues like driver health and freight theft remain absent.

The Port of Los Angeles eyes $1 trillion in imports for the quarter. In part three of our new documentary “Rebuilding the Gateway to America,” we take a look at how the Southern California ports are handling record freight flows and how the drayage community is preparing for a zero-emissions future.

Nikola’s Ryan May breaks down the brains behind the company’s zero-emissions semitrucks. We’ll find out how Nikola’s connected ecosystem works and what role software plays in zero-emissions efficiency. 

It’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, so Travelers’ Rehman Khan stops by to tell us how black hat hackers are breaking into supply chains right now. We’ll learn about their most popular methods, what they’re winning with and how to protect yourself.


Plus, Trump asks if you’d like fries with that; rate the strap work; how to eat at White Castle; and more.
