On this episode of What the Truck?!, Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent break down Amazon’s latest logistics moves—from expanding warehouse robotics across Europe to officially entering the less-than-truckload (LTL) market. What does increased automation mean for workers, shippers, and the future of supply chains? The duo also dives into a growing crackdown on customs fraud, exploring how whistleblowers, tariff enforcement, and the False Claims Act are reshaping international trade. Plus, they unpack rising ocean freight rates, resilient container volumes despite geopolitical disruptions, and what the latest trade data may be signaling for freight markets. Later, Gary Cornelius, VP of Business Development at TCW, joins the show to discuss the industry implications of the Montgomery decision, broker liability, carrier vetting, and what could come next as litigation and regulation continue to evolve. Then, Quarterhill CEO Chuck Myers stops by to talk about the technology powering the transportation infrastructure that keeps freight moving every day. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Visit our sponsor - KOONER FLEET MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.
