Summary
In this episode, Craig Fuller and Julie discuss how GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are changing consumer behavior — and why those changes could have a measurable impact on freight volumes. The conversation explores declining food and beverage consumption, shifting demand for snacks, soda, alcohol and restaurant meals, and what those trends could mean for trucking and the broader freight economy. The show also covers the latest FreightTech 100, FreightWaves’ annual list recognizing innovative companies across freight and supply chain technology. This year’s list reflects the growing influence of artificial intelligence, automation and autonomous trucking.
