On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is catching up with Harbor Trucking Association CEO Matt Schrap. Schrap is clapping back against new CARB regulations that aim to radically change trucking in the next decade. Are clean air timelines realistic and can providers meet them?

With over 50 electric semis on back order, JCT hopes to get started sooner rather than later. Plus, Weiland shares an update on container conditions at SoCal ports as well as the state of the ILWU contract. 

Is now a good time to reevaluate your LTL service providers? Roadrunner’s Shari Leon talks about capacity and service levels.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve got a dad bod or a trucker bod, summer’s coming and it’s time to get our asses in gear. JADE Trucking’s Ryan Hood brings his passion for driver health to the show and shares tips for getting in shape. 

Plus, the logistics of Taylor Swift’s $620 million Eras tour.
