Does role playing work in freight?

On today’s episode Dooner and The Dude are asking the question: Is this all just a simulation? They’re talking to Dan McCann, CEO and chief learning officer at SymTrain, about the company’s simulation-based role play training. They’ll find out if sim training is the new way to go for getting your employees up to speed. 

The guys may be back from Ballyhack but today they’re taking another trip to the greens with Chris Douglass, president of the Nashville Transportation Club, and Christian Huffman, board member in charge of golf. They’re talking about the NTC’s 2022 charity golf tournament.

Carlos M. Llanes Jr., MBA CEO and Tim Perkins, chief business development officer at Spartan 5S Solutions, talk about elevating yourself to an executive role and counting trailers on the highway.

In the news, an explosion near a port in Chittagong leaves at least 49 dead; fuel hits new record highs; People’s Convoy implodes; and is ELMS on its last leg? 


Plus, a pickup is crushed by a semi; why meth and avocados don’t mix; and are sinkholes asphalt’s answer to quicksand?
