The Trucking Age Discrimination Lawsuit (And the Shift to Alternative Fuels) | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

On this Monday edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!, hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent break down the latest supply chain news, major legal cases, and severe weather updates affecting the freight industry. The hosts kick off the news segment with an attempted $273,000 frozen seafood theft in New Jersey where an unauthorized freight broker redirected 29,000 pounds of cargo to a box truck on the side of the road, pointing out that food and beverage cargo thefts jumped 47% in 2025. They also examine an EEOC age discrimination lawsuit filed in Texas against Trancasa USA after a 64-year-old driver with over 20 years of experience was allegedly denied employment due to insurance coverage restrictions, debating the balance between driver age limits and soaring nuclear verdicts. Additionally, they review a $1 million USPS freight auction fraud scheme involving an Orlando trucking owner who pleaded guilty to submitting fake delivery records.

The guest lineup begins with Steve Logue, General Manager at Sensolis, who discusses tackling the blind spots in supply chain tracking. Steve explains why non-powered assets like pallets, totes, and crates vanish between trailers, warehouses, and factory floors, emphasizing how tracking dwell time and utilization provides real visibility instead of guesswork.

Closing out the show, Sam Girard, Vice President of Customer Success and Senior Site Executive at ENGIE Energy, joins to detail the fleet transition toward alternative fuels like CNG and RNG. Sam shares insights into the multi-energy shift away from single diesel replacements, evaluating fueling infrastructure needs and the economic feasibility for modern fleet operations.
