The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel; Fuller vs. Miller freight debate; risk management | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

On Episode 782 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner and Covenant’s Matt McLelland are talking about the mystery surrounding the death of the inventor of the diesel engine. “The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel” author Douglas Brunt takes us deep inside the circumstances that led to the untimely demise of one of freight’s most crucial inventors. 

Diesel gets freight moving, but how can we make fleets that use it cleaner and more efficient? Optimus Technologies’ Colin Huwyler talks about how they’re making trucks cleaner, biodiesel and what the election results mean for clean fuels.

Loadsure’s Johnny McCord is talking about an underinsurance crisis in supply chain and the new frontier of risk management.

FreightWaves CEO and founder Craig Fuller challenges MSU’s Jason Miller to a debate on tariffs; Flexport’s Ryan Petersen tests Starlink in-flight; new shirts hit the WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Gear shop.
