On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Dooner is talking to StoneLoads’ Patrick Wells about the logistics of moving stones, building a marketplace for them and why that side of the business rocks.
How do the logistics work behind shipping goods to Hawaii and Alaska? SeaWide Express’ Monica Thornton talks about connecting shipments from the lower 48 to HI/AK.
3PLs are taking a hit in this economy and looking to cut costs. Valoroo’s Nick Schrock talks about how his company is using outsourcing to fill in the gaps on repetitive tasks.
Plus, a brazen Amazon driver robbery; are you ever too old to truck; the Southwest-FedEx near miss is reenacted; an excavator saves a deer; helping a driver out; fuel point best buys; and more.
