Throughout the year HDT Talks Trucking has been covering the top story each month in our Behind the News segment, those picks were based on website analytics data, but in this episode, we bring together our top editors to see what has stuck out to them the most in the industry, and in their own reporting. Welcome HDT Editor in Chief Deborah Lockridge, Senior Contributing Editor Jack Roberts, Equipment Editor Jim Park and Managing Editor Vesna Brajkovic.

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • AB5: The end of the owner-operator business model as we know it.
  • Truck electrification: The realization that it's not going to be easy or cheap to electrify the Class 8 trucking industry
  • Alternative fuels developments
  • Autonomous trucking: What do shake-ups in the self-driving truck world mean for the  industry?
