On Episode 809 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking about the massive surge in cargo theft that is plaguing the freight industry. Overhaul’s Danny Ramon shares the company’s latest report, which shows an astounding 49% increase in cargo thefts in 2024 compared to 2023. Is 2025 on track to set an even higher record, and what can fleets do to protect themselves? We’ll get into it.

Driver training standards could change drastically under President Donald Trump. Commercial Vehicle Training Association’s Andrew Poliakoff talks about the latest changes and executive orders that could impact the way you hire drivers.
