    Malcolm kicks off the week with energy, industry insights, and a packed lineup of guests who deliver deep expertise across transportation safety, branding, and heavy-haul logistics. Malcolm opens with key headlines impacting the freight world — from upcoming USPS parcel price hikes to fluctuating global trade patterns, ocean carrier earnings, FMCSA’s new crash-risk study, and shifting M&A trends in the freight sector. The episode’s interviews begin with Chris Isley, Risk Control Specialist at Travelers Transportation, who breaks down the complexities of heavy equipment transportation, load securement standards, DOT compliance, specialized permits, escort coordination, and the safety measures needed to move oversized cargo. His decades of experience inform a detailed look at how fleets can strengthen safety programs, prevent losses, and keep operators protected. Next, Malcolm is joined by Alex Martin-Banzer, Brand Marketing Manager for Western Star and Daimler Truck North America. Alex shares her journey from intern to brand leader, offering an inside perspective on engineering, product strategy, and the storytelling behind one of the industry’s most iconic vocational truck brands. She dives into the massive Western Star–supported move of a historic Martin Mars aircraft, reflects on the brand’s legacy, and previews upcoming projects and the Star Nation operator experience. The show closes with Kyle Wilkes, Project Manager at Southwest Industrial Rigging, who provides an up-close look at the monumental effort required to transport the enormous Martin Mars bomber fuselage across Arizona — the tallest load ever moved on Arizona highways. Kyle walks through the intense planning, routing, permitting, engineering challenges, electrical coordination, and teamwork needed to pull off one of the most complex heavy-haul feats in recent memory. He also shares career advice, industry trends, and a thoughtful tribute to company founder Harry Baker.
