    How Trade Wars Hit Canadian Truck Builder Edison Motors In The Big D w/ Chace Barber

    Chace Barber started Edison Motors because he thought the trucking industry’s approach to electric trucks was missing the point. Instead of trying to build a battery-electric truck that requires massive charging infrastructure, Edison is developing diesel-electric hybrid trucks designed for the brutal realities of vocational trucking: logging, oilfield, heavy haul and other applications where weight, range, uptime and extreme terrain matter. What started in a backyard has grown into a truck manufacturer in British Columbia, with production trucks being built for customers. But getting here hasn’t been easy. Edison has fought through manufacturing setbacks, funding challenges, supply-chain problems and a bizarre regulatory issues surrounding certification of the generator used in its hybrid powertrain. Now Chace Barber joins the Dooner Show to talk about the journey, the technology and what comes next for Edison Motors.

    Hoffa, the ICC, and Why Trucking Still Looks Like This w/ Stephen Ruhe

    On this episode of Dooner Show, Tim Dooner sits down with Stephen Ruhe: freight broker, Navy vet, third-generation trucking guy, and the force behind Semi Historic. Everybody’s got a villain for modern trucking. Brokers. ELDs. Mega carriers. 1980. Stephen’s take is sharper than that. The industry’s problems were already in the system long before deregulation. They kick things off with a quick review of Stallone’s Over the Top and pay tribute to Optimus Prime voice actor, Peter Cullen. Then they get into the real story: early trucking before the feds showed up, the Motor Carrier Act of 1935, Hoffa and the Teamsters, the 1980 deregulation fight, and how those eras still shape rates, brokers, owner-ops, and the so-called driver shortage.

    Blood, guts, and $2 billion of freight spend | Dooner Show

    Trent Zuberi doesn’t just talk logistics, he lives at the intersection of thrash metal stages, indie wrestling rings, and high-stakes supply chain operations. Frontman and bassist for Chicago’s HEMI (over 20 years of heavy/thrash/power metal, including tracks licensed by IMPACT Wrestling), Executive Producer at AAW Pro (the hardcore indie promotion known for “no countouts, no disqualifications” wrestling), and a logistics pro who’s moved through Echo Global Logistics, Kraft Heinz (logistics finance & freight payables), and Amazon as Senior Shipper Success Manager. On this episode of Dooner Show, Tim sits down with Trent to unpack how the same intensity that drives a mosh pit or a deathmatch translates to managing massive freight spend, navigating shipper-carrier relationships, and keeping the product moving.  Expect stories from the road (literal and figurative), lessons from the ring and the stage that apply to freight, and a look at what it takes to balance three high-adrenaline worlds without missing a beat.If you’ve ever wondered what a metal vocalist, wrestling producer, and freight veteran have in common when the loads get heavy, this one’s for you.
