Description

On today’s episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking to NASA pilots David Nils Larson and James Less about the agency’s new super quiet supersonic jet. NASA, in collaboration with Lockheed Martin, is unveiling the X59 supersonic plane Friday, and we’re going to bring you up to speed on this jet set to dampen sonic booms.

Global trade is at war as U.S. military forces and the United Kingdom along with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands launch strikes against Houthi targets. Sal Mercogliano talks about the impacts this will have on global trade as the conflict escalates. 



Plus, Uber Freight slashes jobs; GXO shuts down Memphis facility; Maersk starts using rail to bypass Panama Canal; the challenges with onboarding; worst of CES; and the logistics of playground safety inspectors.
