UPS cuts 12,000 workers; SoCal port report; an AI-powered dispatch tool

On episode 676 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is joined by guest co-host Covenant’s Matt McLelland. He’s talking about the best FreightTech he saw at CES and the news that UPS is cutting 12,000 jobs and putting Coyote up for sale. Junction Collaborative Transports’ Ian Weiland calls in from sunny Southern California to give us a port and drayage update. We’ll also find out how they’re preparing for new regulations like no new diesels at the ports and what WAIRE means for his clients.  TruckBase offers an AI-based dispatch tool that promises to scale fleets. We’ll meet their founder Bryan Jones to find out how it works. We say goodbye to Justin Martin and as he hits the fast lane toward his future endeavors. Before he goes, we’ll get an update on the “Take Our Border Back” convoy; a CDL bribe scheme; GPS dangers; parking problems; safety tech; and TikTok double brokers.
