Carriers of Glory by Samantha Mahoney

In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam sits down with Todd Waldron, Vice President of Carrier Experience at Truckstop and former CEO of Q Carriers, to unpack what the next chapter of load boards really looks like. This isn't a fluff piece about digital freight. Todd's sat in the chair, run the trucks, and now helps shape one of the industry's most-used platforms. The conversation digs into Truckstop's 30th Anniversary Carrier Survey—what the data really says about where things are going—and explores new features like Private Loads, the Authority Age Filter, and Load Popularity designed to help small carriers win smarter. If you've ever felt like the load board game was stacked against you, this episode shows you what's changing—and how to use it to your advantage. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Pastor Cindy talks about the importance of understanding that we, as followers of Jesus, actually carry THE word in us. As we continue to study the word, and believe the word, we begin to realize that the word will activate the promises that God has already given us. Knowing the Word breaks open the “More of God” in our lives. When we learn to pursue the word and make it our daily reality, we will be contending for breakthrough with the word as a battering ram. The word will fight for you. It will open doors.    Scripture reference: 1 Kings 17:8-16, Genesis 1:28, 2 Kings 4:8-17, Deuteronomy 7:12-14, Isaiah 38:1-8 and 21, Luke 1:13-20.    Order your copy of Cindy's new book, NEW MOVES OF GOD Check out Cindy's TV show, CINDY STEWART LIVE.

In 2022, Ontario recorded the highest number of transport truck collisions in a decade, causing 71 fatalities due to inexperienced drivers, risky moves by some truck drivers, and mechanical failures. On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, Kim Richardson, senior advisor with The Professional Truck Training Alliance of Canada (PTTAC), discusses the crucial need for smarter and more thorough training in the trucking industry.Kim, a long-time truck driver in Ontario, explains that the PTTAC is calling for a major shift in recognizing truck driving as a Red Seal trade, which would mean stricter standardized training across the country and potentially lead to safer roads for everyone. The Red Seal certification program, which is being developed by the Red Seal committee, aims to make commercial truck driving a principal trade in five provinces, with Alberta taking the lead. The program will require drivers to attend an approved school and carrier involved in the Red Seal program, and a minimum of 2,000 hours behind the wheel before a written test can be taken. To further raise awareness for the program, the Red Seal committee, consisting of industry leaders, carriers, insurers, and schools, developed a three-part approach: educate, advocate, and support. Industry leaders should educate their industries on the benefits of the Red Seal apprenticeship, while government and association leadership at high levels should advocate for the program. Carriers' support is also essential, as their involvement is crucial for the program's survival.Kim further discusses what a ‘misclassified driver' represents, how a Red Seal certification addresses international drivers and their eligibility to operate in Canada, and how interested parties in the Red Seal approach can get involved.

It's the end of an era. After 20 years in operation, Jetstar Asia is bidding farewell to the Singapore market on July 31st. The airline cited rising costs and competition key reasons for its departure. And the proof is in the pudding. Because only six of those 20 years were profitable. It certainly raises some questions about the viability of the low-cost carrier model, especially at higher-cost airports like Changi.

“You can now connect everything—cloud workloads, offices, data centers, users—on one software-defined network, without the hardware.” — Elizabeth Aris, CEO, Astrotel In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Publisher Doug Green interviews David Klebanov, a leading architect at Alkira, and Elizabeth Aris, CEO of Astrotel, to explore how their partnership is delivering Network Infrastructure as a Service (NIaaS) to global enterprises—without the capital investment or complexity of traditional networking. Born in the Cloud, Built for the AI Era Alkira, founded in 2018, was born with a vision to deliver networking the same way cloud services are consumed: on demand, scalable, and usage-based. The Alkira platform runs entirely in the cloud—across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud—allowing enterprises to deploy secure, high-performance global networks in hours, not months. “Our platform is the networking and security foundation for today's distributed, cloud-first enterprise,” said Klebanov. “And it's built to support AI workloads and multi-cloud architectures from day one.” Channel-Driven and Globally Deployed Astrotel, based in Sydney, is a service provider and Alkira partner helping customers across the Asia-Pacific region deploy network services in minutes using Alkira's cloud-native platform. Aris emphasized the advantage: no hardware, no CapEx, and up to 60% cost savings. “We're setting up entire global networks using Alkira's software-based cloud exchange points. It's a massive differentiator,” said Aris. “From remote Australia to Hong Kong to London, you just connect your sites to the nearest cloud region—there's no need to negotiate with local telcos or install new gear.” Enterprise-Grade Security and Simplicity The Alkira platform integrates firewall, DNS, DHCP, and other critical services directly into its virtualized architecture. IT teams can manage and secure the network through Alkira's centralized portal—or via REST APIs and Terraform for programmatic deployments. A single control plane manages the entire hybrid network—connecting public cloud workloads, private data centers, branch offices, remote users, and partner networks. This includes secure extranet support for M&A environments, allowing partial segmentation during network convergence. A Win for Carriers, Too Interestingly, carriers are also using Alkira to extend their reach. Aris explained that tier-one telcos are deploying Alkira to serve customers in markets where they lack infrastructure. “Instead of buying wholesale access from foreign providers, they spin up Alkira and deliver services in hours. It's flexible, fast, and operationally simple.” Where to Learn More Visit alkira.com to explore Alkira's cloud-first networking platform. Visit astrotel.io to learn how Astrotel deploys Alkira services across Asia-Pacific. Partner Opportunities: Alkira's 100% channel-focused model is open to partners in the U.S., Canada, and globally who are ready to offer NIaaS and cloud-native connectivity solutions.

Mutations in LRRK2 are a common cause of familial and sporadic Parkinson's. Though clinical features resemble typical PD, about half of cases lack Lewy pathology. Doctors Hiroaki Sekiya and Nanna Møller Jensen discuss their recent studies on the neuropathology of LRRK2-PD patients. They dive into their methods and how proximity ligation assays may compare to alpha-synuclein seeding assays in identification of alpha-synuclein oligomers. Together they explain their surprising results on how alpha-synuclein oligomers may be a key early feature in LRRK2-PD. Read the first article. Read the second article.

Voice Of GO(r)D is pleased to welcome back to the show returning guests Danielle Chaffin and Justin ‘Supertrucker' Martin in discussion on the ease with which certain bad actors in trucking can be identified and avoided. If you are on FreightX, Danielle and Justin are revealing, on the daily, ‘Chameleon' or ‘Ghost' Carriers, and the shell games they play with layers of LLCs, the trade in Motor Carrier numbers, and other methods by which they avoid accountability for their unsafe and unprofessional operations. In doing so, they show us how easy it is for shippers and load broker to screen these guys out, especially with a new and easy to use tool developed by our mutual and friend of this show, Garret Makes, simply called ‘Search Carriers'.I've been a little behind on getting episodes out - we recorded this over a month ago - but the timing of edit and release today was fortuitous, as yesterday, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy appeared on our colleague Timothy Dooner's show WHAT THE TRUCK? and it was quite a White Pill to discover that Duffy has been taking on criticisms and complaints from FreightX and other social media, and is, in fact, launching investigations into various problems in the industry highlighted by truckers online, especially the Non-Domicile CDL scams identified by our friends at American Truckers United.Check it out!https://www.freightwaves.com/news/dot-secretary-duffy-nationwide-non-domiciled-cdl-audit-elp-enforcement-what-the-truckAlso worthy of a look is Danielle's recent contribution to Freight Caviar regarding Chameleon Carriers - the data she has dug up would be a worthy project for Secretary Duffy's team to look through - we have a problem here!https://www.freightcaviar.com/eye-opening-patterns-in-fmcsa-data/You can find Danielle on Twitter/X - https://x.com/maybedanielleeeAnd LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maybedanielleee/And Justin - https://x.com/supertruckerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jmartsupertrucker/Our friend Garret - https://x.com/garrett_makesAnd his handy Carrier Screening Tool - https://searchcarriers.com/Stay tuned for the release of their new podcast “Shady Freight”, coming out soon!I'm writing a book on the fate of the North American Trucker in 2025, read about that here -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorAs always - questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

DURING THE FIRST year of the Second World War, the conflict in the Pacific was all about aircraft carriers. With a carrier, one could take the fight to the enemy. Without one, one could only huddle on an island as a passive target, waiting for an enemy carrier's aircraft to arrive and attack. When the war broke out, the U.S. had seven of these precious warships, but only three were in the Pacific. They were the actual targets of the attack on Pearl Harbor — the Japanese knew if they could get them out of the way, they'd have a free hand for at least a year. It had taken an average of more than three years to build a regular full-size aircraft carrier before the war. Mobilization would cut that timeframe to under a year, but that was still a long wait. The Japanese almost had a free hand for that year anyway. Much of their equipment was just more advanced in 1942, especially airplanes. By the end of that year the U.S. was down to one carrier. Both sides were hurriedly converting existing ships to bolster their fleets, but it certainly looked, from far away, as if the U.S. was not too far from ending up in that helpless position that the Japanese had hoped to put it in with the Pearl Harbor attack. Carriers were rare, complicated ships, hard and time-consuming to build. Japan had lost four of their best ones at Midway, but they still had at least six left. And that's about the point at which Henry Kaiser decided to go into the aircraft-carrier business.... (Vanport, Multnomah County; 1940s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/22-07.kaiser-aircraft-carriers-611.html)
