Meet Owen – the man behind the brand-new What The Truck podcast.
In episode one, Owen talks about growing up in the haulage industry, taking over the family business and learning the ropes from the ground up. From sweeping the yard and handling paperwork to driving forklifts and running a pallet network operation, he shares the experiences that shaped his career.
We get into the reality of life in haulage, including agency drivers, route planning, traffic planners, long-distance driving, trucker cafés, diesel prices and the technology changing the industry.
Owen also gives his thoughts on autonomous trucks, AI-powered route optimisation and what the future could look like for haulage.
Plus, we find out why he's known as the Pallet Network Bandit, hear some seriously strange stories from the industry and discover why this podcast is all about the people, characters, arguments, rants and stories that happen behind the scenes.
This is just the beginning. What The Truck promises to be a fun, honest and occasionally chaotic look at the haulage industry – without taking itself too seriously.
