On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is talking to former NFL star Desmond Clark about his journey from Super Bowl to brokerage founder. The former Chicago Bear founded Bear Down Logistics just under a year ago. We’ll learn who’s a tougher opponent: Aaron Rodgers and the Packers or a bad freight market.  

Covenant’s Matt McLelland spent the last three days at Daimler Truck North America in Portland, Oregon, learning about its latest updates on autonomous vehicles, battery electric, CARB 2024 challenges and ESG initiatives. He’s here to plug us in to what he’s learned. 

FreightWaves’ Tony Mulvey is talking about the freight market hitting rock bottom, with few signs of relief in the near future. We’ll talk about the shutdowns, mergers and freight market factors that are impacting your supply chain.

Plus, dogs of logistics, man versus tire, Arizona Iced Tea versus inflation and trucker versus broker.
