Listen in as Brent Nussbaum divulges on brand new specs and
technology coming from Freightliner. Automation may be a touchy subject, but
the baby steps inching forward are inarguably fascinating.

We’ve been partnering with Daimler Trucks for years now. At a hefty 400 trucks, our fleet is tiny in

ensuring the best.
“Before you fall out of your truck wondering ‘What in the world are we thinking?’ I just want to let you know that we’re preparing for the future.”
