Does trucking need a Barbie; Supply Chain Bingo; freight theft trends

On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is talking to TransForce’s Kelly McGurk about its mission to get Mattel to make a trucking Barbie.

They’ve teamed up to teach your kids trucking while killing time on road trips.  Travelers’ Scott Cornell breaks down the latest trends in cargo theft. Reliance Partners’ Thom Albrecht looks ahead to 2024 and shares when he thinks capacity and volumes hit equilibrium. Also, what do inventory levels and the housing market say about the health of supply chains? J. J. Keller’s Kathy Close has the latest report on DOT drug testing trends.  Plus, a missing trucker’s family needs your help; dangerous bridges; side impact testing; and the Grinch gets strap worked.  Watch on YouTube Subscribe to the WTT newsletter Apple Podcasts Spotify More FreightWaves Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.
