This episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? features two in-depth conversations focused on how technology is reshaping trucking safety, operations, and cargo security. Host Malcolm Harris first speaks with Kiren Sakhar, Chief Product Officer at Samsara, about how AI-powered dashcams, sensors, and real-time coaching are helping fleets shift from reactive safety practices to predictive, preventative ones. They discuss improvements in driver experience, reduced accidents, and how balanced coaching and recognition can strengthen retention and culture.In the second segment, Danny Ramon, Director of Intelligence and Response at Overhaul, breaks down the rapid rise in cargo theft, especially sophisticated fraud-based schemes and strategic theft methods. He explains how criminals are using identity spoofing, double/triple brokering, and cyber tactics to target freight—and how better training, authentication, and proactive security can reduce risk during high-volume seasons.Overall, the episode highlights the increasing importance of AI, real-time data, and informed security practices across fleet operations—from protecting drivers to preventing multimillion-dollar supply chain losses.
