On Episode 743 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking about August’s red-hot FreightTech M&A. This week, Korber acquired MercuryGate and Bestpass grabbed Drivewyze. What’s driving the deals, and what company will be scooped up next?

Leonard’s Express is teaming up with Optimal Dynamics to enhance driver experience and asset utilization. We’ll find out from Mike McGovern how they’re using tech and AI to reshape their transportation network.

Engine Technology Forum’s Allan Schaeffer is fresh off a trip to Capitol Hill to attend the EESI Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Expo. We’ll find out the latest on the push for zero-emissions solutions and learn how they’re being deployed in the real world.

As powerful as tech is, this is still a people industry. IamFr8’s Tristan Bordallo is all about community-driven transportation. Bordallo is on a mission to educate the industry – shippers, receivers, brokers, 3PLs and customers – that drivers are human beings and their time and service are valuable.

Plus, Aurora raises $483 million; cats and dogs rate the strap work and more.
