On Episode 847 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking about a cyberattack that currently has truckers stuck at United Natural Foods (UNFI), one of America’s largest food distributors. How much will it hurt the food supply chain?

Autonomous Waymos are being exploited in Los Angeles by protesters who summon them then set them on fire. We’ll look at whether autonomous trucks will be exploitable in the future.

According to CargoNet, freight thefts were up 27% from 2023 to 2024. Tive’s Richie Daigle stops by the studio to talk about how the company’s trackers are recovering stolen loads.

Train travel has really fallen off this century, but a new company has eyes on making it great again. Dreamliner’s Joshua Dominic tells us about a luxury overnight train from Los Angeles to San Francisco that the company plans to launch prior to the 2028 Olympics.

Plus, FMCSA ends DEI rules for CDLs; project44’s ambitious new plan; and more.
