On episode 863 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Thomas Wasson and Rob Carpenter dive deep into infrastructure, inspections, inspiration, and sour intensity. Former FMCSA Administrator Jim Mullins kicks things off with an insider’s view of Derek Barr’s confirmation and what awaits him at an FMCSA now grappling with layoffs, tech transitions, and a weakened workforce. Then, VA Delegate Chad Green joins the show to discuss the spike in teen driver crashes during the 100 Deadliest Days of Summer and the new laws Virginia is enacting to save lives. From there, we pivot to creativity and craftsmanship with Cody McCandless, who walks us through his custom build of the Lacoh Transport Dream Truck, a rolling tribute to freight. Then Ingrid Brown lays down some hard-won wisdom on driver inspections and the top violations of June for Wyoming. We cover how tariffs are souring the costs of Halloween candy. All that plus the FreightTech 100 launch, crash video reaction clips, and more.
