The Truck Whisperer: Turning Fleet Data into Action

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 19:47:00 -0000

In this episode of Loaded and Rolling, host Thomas Wasson sits down with David Blackwell and Akshaya Kumar from EROAD to discuss the evolution of the “Truck Whisperer”—the art of transforming overwhelming fleet data into meaningful business outcomes.
As modern commercial vehicles generate upwards of 50,000 data points per day, many fleet managers find themselves suffering from “alert fatigue” rather than gaining operational control. David and Akshaya break down how to cut through this digital noise to find the “juicy nuggets” of actionable signal.

End of the Road: How the Trucking Industry Lost Its Soul

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 19:00:00 -0000

Trucking isn’t just a job—it’s a craft, a culture, and a way of life. In this episode of Loaded and Rolling, host Thomas Watson sits down with journalist and lifelong trucker Gord McGill to unpack how deregulation, automation, government policy, and the “driver shortage” narrative have transformed trucking over the past few decades—and not for the better. Drawing from McGill’s upcoming book End of the Road: Inside the War on Truckers, the conversation explores declining wages, rising safety risks, forced churn, and the erosion of driver skill and pride. It’s a candid, sometimes uncomfortable look at what’s gone wrong in trucking—and what it will take to fix it.

AI Is Eating the Back Office: Trimble’s Spicy Takes on the Future of Logistics

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 19:00:00 -0000

Recorded live at Trimble Insight 2025 in New Orleans, FreightWaves’ Thomas Wasson sits down with Jonah McIntire, Chief Platform Officer at Trimble Transportation, for a wide-ranging and refreshingly candid conversation about AI, software, and the future of logistics work.

Jonah breaks down how Trimble operates at the “plumbing layer” of the supply chain, why tools like PC*MILER are still the industry’s ground truth, and why many past tech hype cycles—blockchain, visibility, buzzword AI—missed the mark. He doesn’t shy away from the hard truth: AI will eliminate back-office jobs, even as it radically increases productivity and reshapes how logistics companies scale.

The conversation dives deep into AI-written code, self-connecting systems, rewriting legacy software in days instead of months, and why Trimble is betting on AI colleagues—not just AI features. From creative destruction to AI agents interviewing for dispatcher roles, this episode offers a rare, inside look at how one of the largest supply-chain software companies is rebuilding for the next decade.

Trucking’s Two-Front War: Capacity Contracts And Costs Explode

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 19:00:00 -0000

The freight market is living a double life. On one hand, the domestic market is hitting the brakes, defined by shrinking truckload capacity and regulatory friction. On the other, global players and specialized sectors are flooring the accelerator on massive investments.
In this episode, we dissect this "market schizophrenia". We look at how a 32% drop in new tractor builds and stricter enforcement of driver language rules are tightening the screws on capacity. We also explore the massive strategic investments happening in global air cargo, AI-driven safety tech, and specialized healthcare logistics.
But as fleets fight for volume, they're also battling a two-front war. Michael "Mike" Precia, President and CSO of Fleetworthy, joins the show to discuss the other crisis: the compounding rise in essential costs. With truck insurance premiums up 43% in five years and toll costs doubling in the last decade, Precia argues that survival in this cycle won't come from waiting for demand. It will be won by fleets that master "fleet readiness" and gain visibility over the costs they can control.
