FreightWaves Today | June 29
The freight market is heating up—and this week's episode breaks down why.
We kick off the show with a look at record-setting trucking spot rates, why the July 4 holiday is the freight industry's "Super Bowl," and what tightening capacity means for carriers, brokers, and shippers heading into the second half of the year.
Then we dive into the day's biggest logistics headlines, including:
A $1.3 million cargo theft recovery near Chicago
Boeing's major freighter deal with China Southern Airlines
A growing biometric privacy class-action lawsuit impacting the trucking industry
Our featured guests include:
Steve Lockington, President & CEO of Geotab Vitality, on how behavioral science, telematics, and positive incentives are improving driver safety, retention, and fleet performance.

Michael Farkas, Founder & CEO of NextNRG, on AI, energy infrastructure, remote fueling, and the impact of lower oil prices on freight.
