About this episode
In this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? host Malcolm Harris sits down with three industry leaders to break down the latest trends shaping freight, fleet operations, and the trailer marketplace.
First, Jake Johnson of RTA shares his journey from diesel technician to fleet success manager and explains how data, automation, and smarter technology can reduce downtime, control costs, and improve fleet performance.
Next, Corey Klujsza of RXO unpacks the newest Curve Report with insights into rate volatility, spot vs. contract dynamics, capacity exits, cost pressures, and early signals from peak season. Corey also discusses what fleets, brokers, and drivers should prepare for heading into 2026.
Finally, Colin Osborne from REPOWR joins in studio to dive into trailer access, guided search technology, AI-powered matching, and why equipment is becoming as on-demand as freight. Colin highlights how carriers — especially small fleets — can leverage smarter tools to stay efficient and competitive.
If you’re in trucking, logistics, brokerage, fleet management, or supply chain strategy, this conversation is packed with insights you don’t want to miss.
