Episode description
An executive order reverses the push for electric vehicles by the president’s predecessor, and trucking is part of the deal. Also, truckers are known for helping after disasters. But hauling a FEMA load requires a lot of advance work. Then, since 2018, Shell has used its Starship truck to demonstrate how to make rigs more fuel efficient – and the latest version is no exception. And trucking continues to climb out of a two-year slump. Brent Hutto of Truckstop brings us the latest numbers.
