Freight Expectations | Mergers, Crime, and Ai

from FreightCasts · host FreightWaves

In this high-stakes episode of Freight Expectations, Craig Fuller and Matthew Leffler pull back the curtain on the “incompetent” Forward Air and Omni Logistics merger, a deal so controversial it led to a courtroom showdown at the “Madison Square Garden” of corporate litigation. From exposing the “light audits” that kill M&A deals to debating the federal power grab behind autonomous truck laws, the hosts tackle the industry’s biggest power shifts. Stick around to find out if “self-certification” is a death sentence for road safety and why the fight against organized cargo crime is finally moving to the next level in D.C. ⁠Follow the Freight Expectations Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
