The freight market is heating up—and this week's episode breaks down why.

We kick off the show with a look at record-setting trucking spot rates, why the July 4 holiday is the freight industry's "Super Bowl," and what tightening capacity means for carriers, brokers, and shippers heading into the second half of the year.

Then we dive into the day's biggest logistics headlines, including:

  • A $1.3 million cargo theft recovery near Chicago
  • Boeing's major freighter deal with China Southern Airlines
  • A growing biometric privacy class-action lawsuit impacting the trucking industry

    • Our featured guests include:

    • Steve Lockington, President & CEO of Geotab Vitality, on how behavioral science, telematics, and positive incentives are improving driver safety, retention, and fleet performance.
    • Burak Cendek, Managing Director at AutoTech Ventures, discussing the venture capital landscape and where transportation technology is headed next.
    • Michael Farkas, Founder & CEO of NextNRG, on AI, energy infrastructure, remote fueling, and the impact of lower oil prices on freight.
    • Gabe Ribeiro, Head of Partnerships & Marketing at Hey Bubba, on building community and innovation in trucking.

      Plus, Craig Fuller delivers a SONAR market deep dive covering:

      • All-time high trucking spot rates
      • Tender rejection trends
      • Blue-to-Blue freight markets
