Pilot’s $25K truck driver appreciation contest; fall freight market breakdown | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

On episode 754 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is back from Labor Day with FreightWaves’ Kyle Taylor to break down the post-holiday freight market. Was Labor Day a peak season catalyst or have rates failed to gain momentum? 

Pilot Flying J is celebrating truck driver appreciation week with their Pilot Flying J 2024 Road Warrior Contest. Jordan Spradling stops by to talk about how drivers can win and what you need to do to nominate them. We’ll also learn about their new partnership with the University of Tennessee Knoxville. 

With the current shifting economy, LTL shippers are seeking cost-effective transport solutions to efficiently meet customer demands in the Northeast from other regions. A. Duie Pyle’s John Luciani talks about the power and cost savings of pool distribution. 

Plus, another case of PPP fraud; Michigan State Police send messages to ELDs; sad state of the CB radio; and more.
