Loaded And Rolling

In this episode of Loaded and Rolling, host Thomas Wasson sits down with Adam Kahn from Netradyne to explore how the company has evolved over the past decade—and how fleet technology has changed right along with it.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Netradyne reflects on its early days in video telematics and the shift from basic visibility to true, AI-powered context. Adam shares how advancements in edge computing, multi-camera systems, and intelligent alerts are helping fleets move beyond reactive safety programs toward proactive coaching, recognition, and real driver buy-in.

The conversation also dives into how fleets are using the platform today—from improving safety and reducing litigation risk to uncovering operational insights around loading, unloading, detention, fuel efficiency, and last-mile challenges. Adam discusses recent partnerships, evolving adoption strategies for driver-facing cameras, and why transparency and flexibility are critical to successful deployments.

Looking ahead, the episode explores how generative AI and prompt-based video search are poised to transform fleet operations, allowing managers to ask smarter questions and get faster, more meaningful answers—without changing their entire business model.

Whether you’re a fleet operator, safety leader, or technology enthusiast, this episode offers a forward-looking look at where video telematics is headed and how Netradyne is shaping the future of connected fleets.

The freight market is living a double life. On one hand, the domestic market is hitting the brakes, defined by shrinking truckload capacity and regulatory friction. On the other, global players and specialized sectors are flooring the accelerator on massive investments.
In this episode, we dissect this "market schizophrenia". We look at how a 32% drop in new tractor builds and stricter enforcement of driver language rules are tightening the screws on capacity. We also explore the massive strategic investments happening in global air cargo, AI-driven safety tech, and specialized healthcare logistics.
But as fleets fight for volume, they're also battling a two-front war. Michael "Mike" Precia, President and CSO of Fleetworthy, joins the show to discuss the other crisis: the compounding rise in essential costs. With truck insurance premiums up 43% in five years and toll costs doubling in the last decade, Precia argues that survival in this cycle won't come from waiting for demand. It will be won by fleets that master "fleet readiness" and gain visibility over the costs they can control.
