REALLY Quick Charge: the Hammer Down crossover episode, with Mike Bush

June 4, 2026 · 18 min

Show notes

On today's really quick episode of Quick Charge, we're doing a crossover episode with Mike Bush from Marketscale's Hammer Down podcast and explore the business of freight and logistics, how to get involved, and what the future might hold for more efficient, fossil-free trucking.

The world of shipping and logistics is far more interesting than it may seem at first glance, and Mike Bush from Marketscale's Hammer Down podcast is one of the best in the business when it comes to helping young talent wrap their heads around the hundreds of ways their interest can serve, and be served by this industry that touches every aspect of modern life.

We recorded this episode at this year's ACT Expo in Las Vegas – and now that graduation season is upon us, it feels like the right time to share it here. So, take a few minutes, see if you learn anything, and share it with the recent grads in your life.

And, of course, check out Mike's Hammer Down podcast (and The Heavy Equipment Podcast with Mike and Jo, too) for more logistics-led listening.
