On this Friday edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, host Malcolm Harris breaks down the biggest stories shaping freight right now — from layoffs and carrier consolidation to aggressive DOT enforcement and tightening compliance standards — before diving into two powerhouse conversations that deliver a true blueprint for brokerage success.

First up:

Malcolm is joined by Trent Tulloh, CEO & Founder of Forever Freight Broker, for a no-nonsense discussion on:


  
Why relationships (not AI) are the future of brokerage



  
How to build trust with carriers and shippers



  
Training brokers the right way



  
Why paying carriers fairly drives long-term growth



  
What new brokers are getting wrong — and how to fix it




Then Malcolm sits down in-studio with Seth Shaver, EVP of Sales at Steam Logistics, for a candid conversation on:


  
Grit, resilience, and longevity in freight sales



  
Building winning teams and culture in tough markets



  
Leadership lessons from scaling through multiple market cycles



  
What young brokers must understand to survive and thrive




This episode is packed with real talk, practical insight, and hard-earned lessons from leaders who’ve lived the freight grind — not just talked about it.
