Cybertruck boats, Tesla Semis and an EV that actually exists

from WHAT THE TRUCK?!? · host FreightWaves

On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner and The Dude are talking about stealing Tesla’s ideas. Sick of waiting for the Tesla Semi and seeing other EVs roll down hills, Canadian log hauler Chace Barber founded Edison Motors and built his own electric truck. After a successful prototype, trials and testing along with another round of crowdfunding, their truck Carl is ready to go into production. We’ll learn all about it from him. Plus, will it float like Musk claims the Cybertruck will? A double broker claps back after getting exposed by a shipper. We’ll take a look at the email that set off a firestorm.  Plus, Route4Me co-founder George Shchegolev talks about bringing the human element back to delivery and equipping drivers with the most effective technology to get their work done. Convoy Inc.'s Mitchell Violett defines visibility in freight and gets us up to date on the state of it. Having previously worked at Amazon and Boeing, Violett has helped solve some of the most challenging problems in logistics. And rebuilding after Hurricane Ian, FreightWaves heads to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and much more.  Visit our sponsor Watch on YouTube Subscribe to the WTT newsletter Apple Podcasts Spotify More FreightWaves Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.
