Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Trucking Risk and Insurance Podcast, host Chris Harris (Safety Dawg) is joined by Ron Greene from Overhaul to discuss the "triple threat" currently facing the trucking industry: Tariffs, Turmoil, and Theft. As a former asset-based fleet owner, Ron brings a unique perspective on how global supply chain disruptions wreak havoc down to the dispatch level for small carriers. We dive into the "double whammy" of rising fuel costs and shifting tariff regulations, exploring why these chaotic environments are exactly what cargo thieves look for to exploit weak spots in your operation. What you will learn in this episode: How supply chain disruptions impact daily dispatch and driver profitability. Why major corporate shippers are shifting their focus from pure cost-cutting to building "resilience". The critical importance of proactive fuel table management in your contracts. Why now is the time to strengthen, rather than relax, your security protocols. How to navigate a "frictionless market" where rates and conditions change overnight. Don't let market chaos compromise your margins or your cargo security.  Tune in to learn how to stay ahead of these disruptions.

Send us Fan Mail Nate Veeh from Geotab joins us to pull back the curtain on a massive industry headache: the truck parking crisis. We aren't just talking about a lack of space; we are looking at the hard data from over 6,000,000 connected vehicles managed by Geotab globally. In this episode, Nate explains how Geotab’s "Altitude" platform provides mobility insights to transportation planners and authorities to better understand their networks. We dive into the findings of a recent year-long study that reveals the nation's biggest parking "hot spots"—including why Indiana ranks #1 among all 50 states for ramp parking events. We also discuss the "Driver’s Dilemma": the collision between strict Hours of Service (HOS) regulations and a critical lack of infrastructure that forces drivers to choose between an illegal ramp park or a safety violation. If you want to see how big data is being used to tackle these infrastructure gaps and improve fleet safety, you need to hear this conversation.

Send us Fan Mail The Chemistry of Savings In this episode of the Trucking Risk and Insurance Podcast, we sit down with Brian Livingston, a chemical engineer and veteran of Caterpillar's diesel engine division. Brian breaks down a unique catalytic technology that is helping trucking companies save 3% to 5% in fuel costs while significantly reducing their environmental footprint. Brian explains the "cracking" process—how a simple-looking copper tube filled with rare earth catalysts can break down long-chain hydrocarbons into shorter, more efficient burning chains. The result? More energy pushing the piston and less soot clogging your engine. In this episode, you’ll learn: The Science of "Cracking": How catalytic reactions break down diesel fuel molecules for a more efficient burn. Massive Maintenance Gains: Why reducing soot by up to 50% leads to fewer DPF regenerations and longer engine life. The 12-Month Payback: How the 100% ROI on this technology makes it an easy "yes" for any CFO or fleet manager. Sustainability That Pays: Why you don't have to wait for electric or hydrogen trucks to start reducing your carbon footprint today. Simple Retrofitting: How this device can be installed in under an hour without any engine recalibration. Whether you are looking to survive rising fuel prices or meet new sustainability goals, Brian’s "common sense" approach to chemical engineering offers a practical solution for the modern fleet.
