FreightWaves’ Donny Gilbert crunches the freight data for June and gets us up to speed on what’s going on in the truckload market.

FreightWaves’ Alan Adler has the latest on flaming Nikolas, Lordstown’s bankruptcy and what’s good in battery tech.

Plus, what to do if your semi falls in the ocean; impossible dock doors; a look inside the new Peterbilt; starting a supply chain minivan gang; and Pepsi-flavored ketchup.
