On Episode 831 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking to ‘Sweatystartup’ Nick Huber about his new book, ‘How To Get Rich Doing Boring Things.’ 

Huber started his first business, Storage Squad, in 2011 and grew it to 25 major college towns before he sold the business in 2021 for $1.7 million. He also became one of the originators of B2B rage bait on social media. We’ll find out the logistics of building boring businesses, leveraging controversy to generate cash and what Huber’s ventures may tell us about the economy in 2025.

Iamfr8 Inc. CEO Tristan Bordallo says detention is wage theft. He’ll tell us why getting drivers paid is such a problem in this industry. Bordallo also tells us what he’s seeing in the West Coast freight market and talks about a case in which 15,000 drivers were in danger of losing their CDLs due to a pair of shady doctors.

Plus, reports say Trump will sign an executive order Monday enforcing English in trucking.

Trucking lost a great one. This episode is in loving memory of Brittany Traylor.
