AI is changing trucking — but is it helping recruiters and drivers or pushing them out of the industry?

In this episode of The Rig on Wheels Show, host Kameel E. Gaines breaks down the truth about AI in trucking recruitment, driver retention, and safety technology. From AI bots screening driver applications to predictive analytics flagging turnover risks, to dashcams that feel like “Big Brother,” we explore where AI belongs in trucking — and where it doesn’t.

🚛 Recruiting: Can AI speed up driver applications without pushing drivers away?

🤝 Retention: How predictive tools help fleets keep drivers — if they’re backed by real empathy.

🦺 Safety: Dashcams and monitoring tech — lifesaving co-pilot or driver surveillance?

Kameel shares real-world trucking stories, industry insights, and her unfiltered perspective: AI isn’t the enemy — bad leadership is.
