Rail Safety Week ‘22 with Operation Lifesaver — WTT

· Monday, September 19, 2022

On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner and The Dude are all about rail safety. They’re joined by Jennifer DeAngelis of Operation Lifesaver Inc., who’s here to get us on track with rail safety awareness.

Freight at rest is freight at risk, according to Elizabeth Simpkins, regional underwriting officer for inland marine transportation at Travelers. She’ll let us know if you need to adjust your coverage due to shipping backlogs.

In headlines, ocean rates continue to head toward Atlantis; Tesla proposes a $375 million lithium refinery for EV batteries in Texas; a trucker gets a stunning cab makeover; a trucker makes a special needs kid’s day; and more.
