Welcome to a packed Monday edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, hosted by Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent! In this episode, we dive deep into a multi-state cargo theft operation that recently led to eight indictments in New York after diverting $4.5 million worth of freight—ranging from beef and copper to massive hauls of cigarettes. Michael also shares a frustrating personal story about the disappearing security of airport valet tickets after his $3,000 Martin guitar vanished on a direct flight. On a brighter note, we highlight the Broker Carrier Summit’s exciting launch of the "Veterans in Logistics" initiative in Kansas City, naming John Tozer to lead the charge in connecting military veterans with great careers in transportation.

Our first featured guest is small business credit fintech guru Gerri Detweiler, who explains why owner-operators must treat their business credit with the same urgency as their next load. Gerri breaks down how business credit reports are compiled behind the scenes by bureaus like Dun & Bradstreet, Experian, and Equifax to influence lenders, fuel card issuers, and insurance companies.

Closing out the show is Aqil Naeem, founder and CEO of the e three group, the first AI transformation partner for middle-market and enterprise freight companies. Aqil explains that as traditional cybersecurity improves, sophisticated bad actors are pivoting to physical cargo theft because defenses in logistics haven't kept pace.

Host Malcolm Harris rides "solo dolo" for a jam-packed Wednesday edition of What the Truck, touted as the fastest 45 minutes in freight. The episode covers breaking logistics headlines and features two insightful interviews focused on the future of freight technology, automation, and the operational realities of electric trucking.
• Global X Airlines Dispute: A look into an unusual internal battle where the airline has accused a shareholder of actively working against its growing cargo operations.
• CDL Updates in Texas and Ohio:
Texas has resumed issuing non-domiciled Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs) to temporary H-2A agricultural farmworkers following federal approval.
Ohio is reviewing roughly 5,000 nonresidential CDLs to ensure compliance with strict new federal standards and verification practices.

Travis Rhyan joins Malcolm in-studio to share lessons from his extensive background in FreightTech and discuss why he left his executive role at MyCarrier to build Carrier1 from scratch. Travis explains that carriers have historically been underserved by technology, noting that a shocking percentage still rely on outdated legacy systems (like IBM mainframes from 1995) or no TMS at all. His mission is to bring automation to carriers to ultimately eliminate the chaotic web of emails and phone calls for brokers.
Joining the show from Berlin, Germany, Manhattan-native Graham Major-Ex explains how Sennder has become a top-five full-truckload freight forwarder in Europe (generating $1 billion in revenue) through strategic acquisitions like Uber Freight Europe and C.H. Robinson's European surface transport division.
