In this episode of the Trucking Risk and Insurance Podcast, host Chris Harris (Safety Dawg) is joined by Ron Greene from Overhaul to discuss the "triple threat" currently facing the trucking industry: Tariffs, Turmoil, and Theft.

As a former asset-based fleet owner, Ron brings a unique perspective on how global supply chain disruptions wreak havoc down to the dispatch level for small carriers. We dive into the "double whammy" of rising fuel costs and shifting tariff regulations, exploring why these chaotic environments are exactly what cargo thieves look for to exploit weak spots in your operation.

What you will learn in this episode:
How supply chain disruptions impact daily dispatch and driver profitability.
Why major corporate shippers are shifting their focus from pure cost-cutting to building "resilience".
The critical importance of proactive fuel table management in your contracts.
Why now is the time to strengthen, rather than relax, your security protocols.
How to navigate a "frictionless market" where rates and conditions change overnight.
Don't let market chaos compromise your margins or your cargo security. 
Tune in to learn how to stay ahead of these disruptions.
