On Episode 764 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking to What’s Going On With Shipping’s Sal Mercogliano about the ILA port strikes as they enter Day 2. With ports from Maine to Houston shut down due to the strike, what impacts will we see in the supply chain, how are negotiations going, and when will it end? We’ll break it down.

We’ll find out from Aleks Bates and Dan Artaev how they’re helping carriers fight back against fallacious Freightguards.
