Podcast Overview

The freight industry is more than rate trends and equipment. It’s about the people and stories behind the loads. Hosted by John Howland and Todd Waldron, Behind the Freight is Truckstop’s podcast for carriers, small fleet managers and freight professionals who want to go beyond headlines and rate chatter. Each episode covers what actually matters: fraud prevention, compliance, day-to-day operations, and what the market is really doing, straight from operators who are out there running freight right now. If you want honest advice, tools that work in the real world, and a community that actually gets what it's like to run freight for a living, you're in the right place.
