This episode of What the Truck?! delivers a packed lineup of industry insights and big-name guests. After a quick sponsor spotlight on Verizon Business, Harris dives into the headlines—covering FMCSA’s English proficiency testing concerns, the latest State of Freight report, President Trump’s approval of an $85B Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern merger, and shipping disruptions on the Mississippi River.The first guest, Scott Cornell, VP of Transportation at Travelers and a veteran cargo theft expert, breaks down the surge in cargo theft, particularly a 96% spike in metal thefts driven by copper demand. He explains thieves’ methods, from straight theft at truck stops to sophisticated double-brokering scams, and shares prevention and recovery strategies for brokers and carriers.Later, David Galbraith, VP of Global Brand and Marketing at Mack Trucks, joins to discuss brand legacy, driver engagement, and marketing innovation. With decades of experience across automotive and tech, Galbraith explains how Mack is blending its heritage of toughness with forward-looking sophistication and comfort—highlighted by initiatives like the Mack Hotel campaign and the “Driven by Heroes” platform celebrating truck drivers as essential workers.
