100 deadliest days of summer; do truckers know their pay?; carrier bankruptcy

On Episode 843 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is joined by Justin Martin to break down the headlines regarding FMCSA’s proposed rule changes; a carrier bankruptcy; and a look at the truckload market. A recent TikTok series revealed many drivers don’t know their pay. Martin breaks down the videos and answers the question: How well do drivers know their numbers? We’ll also find out how being a Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy “reply guy” can help shape policy, and we’ll take a look at some of the worst driving of the week. With more than 40,000 U.S. roadway deaths attributed to unsafe driving each year, we’re shining a light on the deadliest 100 days of the year: from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Dooner is joined by Mike Lutzenkirchen, executive director at Lutzie 43 Foundation, to learn why this mission is so personal for him. The Lutzie 43 Foundation was established in loving memory of Philip Lutzenkirchen, Mike’s son, shortly after his death in 2014.  DriverAssure’s Mike D. shows off the company’s new driver verification app.  Plus, Switch 2 supply chain leaks; flying kangaroos; and a look at the post Memorial Day truckload market.
