    Jul 24 2025
    What's it really like to ride in a self-driving semi-truck? We go beyond the press releases for an exclusive, in-cab look at Bot Auto's autonomous truck navigating the real-world challenges of Houston, from complex overpasses to busy traffic. Join Thomas Wasson for this special episode of Track Tech Live as he rides along to see the technology in action. The conversation covers more than just the impressive driving; we cover the business philosophy that could define the future of autonomous freight. Discover why Bot Auto's "trucking first" approach, relentless focus on cost-per-mile (CPM), and lean operational strategy set it apart. A huge thank you to the entire team for the access and the insightful conversation! ⁠Follow the Truck Tech Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Trucking and logistics company Forward Air is on the verge of a potential acquisition⁠, with several private equity firms, including Clearlake Capital and Apollo Global Management, submitting bids, causing its shares to surge 10%. This interest follows intense pressure from activist investors after the company's heavily contested merger with Omni Logistics, which shareholders criticized for its structure and the large debt burden it placed on Forward. In maritime news, ⁠a historic order has been placed for a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessel to be built at a Philadelphia shipyard⁠, marking the first of its kind in the U.S. in nearly 50 years. This joint-build project by Hanwha Ocean and Hanwha Philly Shipyard aims to comply with new rules proposed by the United States Trade Representative, which are designed to counter China’s dominance in shipping and shipbuilding by requiring a percentage of U.S. LNG exports to be transported on U.S.-flagged and crewed vessels. On the railroad front, ⁠CSX reported a decline in its second-quarter profits, with operating income falling 11% and revenue decreasing 3%⁠. Despite these financial setbacks, executives expressed encouragement regarding the railroad's operational recovery during the quarter, highlighting improvements in on-time performance. CSX anticipates overall volume growth for the year, driven by numerous industrial development projects becoming operational and the ongoing conversion of freight from highway to intermodal transport.

    The Long Haul EP24 Box Trucks, Vans, and the STL Freight Boom Nobody’s Talking About
    Jul 24 2025
    In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam sits down with Mike Ernst, President of Expedite All and a 25-year freight industry veteran, to talk about one of the most slept-on opportunities in trucking: Small Truckload (STL). From cargo vans to box trucks and straight trucks, STL is on the rise—driven by tight delivery windows, high-value freight, and a shift away from one-size-fits-all shipping. Mike breaks down what STL really is, why it’s not just a local play, and how smart carriers can step in now and build consistency in a volatile market. If you’re running under CDL or thinking about diversifying your equipment—this episode is your blueprint. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
