On Episode 762 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking to Kaylee Nix about the fallout from Hurricane Helene, which made landfall days before ports are set to go on strike across the East and Gulf coasts. We’ll look into how this convergence of perfect storms will hit supply chains. 

Freight theft is out of control but Next 72 Intelligence may have a solution. Bruce Anderson shares how they’re using cellphone geolocation tracking to collar cargo thieves.

ODeX is trying to simplify payments for truck drivers. Binai Thoppil talks about how their new partnership with PayPal is helping them achieve that. 

Plus, RIP Dave MacMillian; serial tire slashers strike again; Waymo vandalized with passenger inside; Waffle House conference booths; and more.
