Battery fire nightmare on 15 Freeway traps truckers | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

On Episode 741 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking about a battery fire in California that left drivers stranded for hours. Corey at Dad of Two Roadside talks about how the towing industry acts as a first responder when America’s road warriors are trapped. 

We’ll also learn about the dangers tow drivers face, how to get out of a jam without needing a tow and why semitruck towing costs so much, and we’ll hear about Corey’s toughest recoveries.  


We’ll meet Randeep Sandhu and Steven Dempsey, the minds behind FRE8. FRE8 is a driver-focused tech platform motivated by driver quality of life. It is creating a network of freight capacity that aims to level the playing field, enable compliance and improve quality of life for drivers while benefiting shippers by increasing service standards and the network.

Plus, a look at spot and contract rates; layoffs continue; why Univar is a Shipper of Choice; and more.
