How SONAR foresaw the freight recession and what it’s seeing now – WTT

· Wednesday, May 24, 2023

On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is talking to SONAR architect and FreightWaves Chief Technology Officer Daniel Pickett about how high-frequency freight data in FreightWaves SONAR foresaw the freight recession.

We’ll learn about what SONAR is, how it was developed, why lagging data is killing carriers and what the market signals are saying now.

FreightWaves’ Alan Adler talks about why electric and autonomous vehicle stocks have cratered this year. What does it mean for the space, who will the survivors be and what will be left of them?

Plus, Peterbilt 589 ride and drive impressions; the AI news problem; exorbitant lumper fees; a UPS strike looms; and hitting a truck with a medieval ball and chain.
