WHAT THE TRUCK?!? | One Step Ahead


Listen Later

Malcolm Harris brings together three powerhouse guests who are shaping the future of trucking, supply chain, and transportation technology.

First up, Kenneth Hanover, Director of North American Sales & Customer Support at Fleetguard (now operating under Atmos), dives deep into the company’s Cummins-rooted heritage, its commitment to engineering-first product excellence, and how Fleetguard empowers truckers through right-to-repair advocacy, unmatched warranties, and one-stop filtration solutions. Ken also shares a fun take on how loud an 18-wheeler’s horn really should be—and why truckers deserve both a squeaker and a foghorn.

Next, Nidhi Gupta, Co-founder and CEO of Portcast, breaks down why visibility tech still leaves operations firefighting—and how predictive logistics, connected data, and AI-powered insights are transforming supply chains from reactive to proactive. She details real-world examples of customers preventing costly disruptions, how predictive ETAs reshape billing and cash flow, and why touchless supply chains aren’t futuristic—they’re inevitable.

Wrapping up the show is Ronak Amin of HERE Technologies, who sheds light on one of trucking’s most expensive and shockingly common problems: bridge strikes. Ronak explains why they happen, how HERE’s precise commercial-grade mapping and AI help fleets avoid them, and what the future of routing intelligence looks like—especially as electric trucks enter the mainstream. He also shares leadership lessons and how fleets can adopt smarter routing before disaster strikes.
