What happens when your worst fear becomes your reality—and you decide to ask, “Why not?” instead of “Why me?”In this episode of Nightmare Success In and Out, host Brent Cassity sits down with Rusty (Rustin D.) Pangburn—author of Mindset Matters, founder of Why Not Mindset, motivational speaker, and CDL truck driver—to unpack a remarkable second-chance story. Rusty went from running the streets to serving a 60-month federal sentence, from 480+ lbs to 189 lbs, and from “inmate number” to mentor, author, and nonprofit leader helping justice-impacted people reenter with confidence.We dig into:The “Why Not” question that rewired Rusty's life and inspired his book & nonprofitHow he used walking, running, and routine to lose 300+ lbs insideRDAP, mindset shifts, and preparing for life after the gateFinding a career path in trucking (CDL) and building a future with his wife as team driversWriting Mindset Matters and the “Ripple Effect” chapter—why small actions change livesCreating an AI-produced song to capture his story and missionIf you're looking for hope, practical reentry insight, and proof that mindset matters, this one's for you.

The U.S. freight market is grappling with a massive security crisis as cargo theft surges 29% in Q3 driven by organized crime targeting electronics and high-value pharmaceuticals. We analyze how carriers must implement comprehensive security measures and establish clear policies to ensure truck cameras succeed in litigation, especially regarding how crucial video retention rules are. The logistics industry faces a dramatic regulatory shift as the FMCSA's tighter bond enforcement looms over freight brokers in 2026, taking full effect on January 16, 2026. These new rules mandate immediate operating authority suspension for bond shortfalls and require BMC-85 trust funds to be solely cash or cash-equivalent assets, accelerating market consolidation among poorly capitalized 3PLs. Agricultural supply chains are under threat due to regulatory confusion, detailed in the crackdown on foreign truckers that threatens US farm labor, as states inadvertently pause CDL issuance for essential H-2A farm workers. Industry groups are urgently pushing the FMCSA to clarify this existing H-2A exemption and extend similar CDL exemptions to J-1 visa workers due to their vital seasonal role in custom harvesting. We also cover the operational crunch in air freight, as UPS compensates for lost use of grounded MD-11 cargo jets after the mandatory grounding of its MD-11 fleet following a deadly crash. UPS is mitigating this peak season capacity gap by wet leasing supplemental lift from partners like Cargojet and Amerijet, alongside reconfiguring its ground network. Finally, we discuss the major strategic footprint change as Maersk relocates its North American HQ to Charlotte, moving its headquarters from New Jersey to North Carolina. This relocation involves a $16 million investment and 500 new jobs, driven by Charlotte's affordability and growing talent pool. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- Did California's embrace of far-left policies (specifically high taxes and excessive regulations) destroy Hollywood and the filmmaking industry? More and more films are being shot in Texas and other parts of the country. It's no surprise actor Glen Powell's new production studio is based in Austin, Texas. 4:30pm- Pennsylvania State Treasurer, and Republican candidate for governor, Stacy Garrity is calling for an investigation into how a suspected Uzbekistani terrorist obtained a CDL driver's license—issued by PennDOT under Gov. Josh Shapiro's leadership. 4:50pm- What's occurring on the show sheet? (Not to be confused for “what's on the cut sheet?”) A group of doctors sang songs about climate change and danced awkwardly at COP30. The clip is somehow even worse than you're imagining.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (11/19/2025): 3:05pm- The Epstein Transparency Act: On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in favor of a bill that directs the Justice Department to release all the files in its possession related to its investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The final vote was 427 to 1—with only Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) in opposition. In a post to social media, Higgins explained his decision—citing concern that the bill does not do enough to protect the identities of victims and witnesses. Later in the day, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer requested that the Senate pass the bill with unanimous consent—no Senator objected and the bill will now head to President Donald Trump's desk to be signed. 3:15pm- After passing the Epstein Transparency Act, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson expressed frustration with the Senate's decision to bypass the amendment process. But, as Rich notes, why didn't Republicans amend the bill before passing it and sending it to the Senate? Speaker Johnson, like Higgins, is concerned that the bill doesn't do enough to protect the identities of victims, witnesses, and those not guilty of any crimes. 3:20pm- On Wednesday, the House of Representatives held a vote to censure Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-USVI) for a text exchange she had with Epstein during a House Oversight Committee hearing. During the exchange, Epstein coached Plaskett on how to question Trump Organization officials. 3:30pm- Kennedy—Fox News Host & Author—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her MTV days, BBQ/smoking tips, and why commies are ruining everything! Kennedy will be performing at SoulJoel's in Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania on Saturday, November 22nd at 6pm.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the White House's growing anxiety over the economy, the nationwide crackdown on illegal migrant truck drivers, new DHS surges into sanctuary cities, the rise of openly socialist leadership on the West Coast, and escalating tensions with China in the Pacific. White House Softens Tariffs as Prices Rise: President Trump acknowledged that tariffs may be affecting consumers and announced lower rates on coffee, beef, bananas, and other staples. Prices have soared due to weather, crop disease, and global demand rather than tariffs alone. Bryan explains that the cuts signal the administration's concern that working families are still struggling and that midterm voters may blame the GOP if the economy does not improve soon. Families Fear the Cost of Children: A new American Family Survey found that seventy percent of Americans believe raising kids has become too expensive. Bryan warns that this trend threatens the nation's future and highlights the connection between economic strain and family planning decisions. Crackdown on Unsafe Migrant Truck Drivers: The White House pressured California to revoke seventeen thousand driver's licenses issued to migrants who often cannot read English or safely operate heavy trucks. Some judges in Washington blocked the rule on procedural grounds, creating legal limbo. Bryan notes that until courts rule, untrained foreign drivers will remain on American highways. DHS Surge Operations Expand: Federal officers have flooded Charlotte, North Carolina, where one in five residents is foreign born. The move mirrors earlier crackdowns in Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles, and Washington, where crime dropped after DHS deployments. Bryan says New Orleans is next. Catholic Bishops Clash with the White House: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops accused the administration of racism and fearmongering. Border czar Tom Homan responded that securing the border saves lives and that the Church should focus on its own scandals. Socialists Rise in Seattle and Los Angeles: Seattle elected an openly socialist mayor who supports abolishing the police under a communist economic system. In Los Angeles, another socialist candidate is challenging Mayor Karen Bass. Bryan connects these victories to a wider ideological battle inside the Democratic Party, where figures like Obama and Clinton now embrace democratic socialism while voices like Bill Maher warn against it. Democrats Plan Supreme Court Expansion: Longtime strategist James Carville confirmed that the party intends to expand the Supreme Court to thirteen justices once Democrats regain the presidency and Congress. He expects the party to remove the filibuster for that purpose, declaring the fight against Trump a national emergency. GOP Infighting Grows: Trump attacked Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie over comments about Epstein files and personal issues. Bryan urges conservatives to stop the internal battles as socialist movements gain ground nationwide. China Leverages Rare Earths and Military Power: Beijing is delaying rare earth shipments and failed to buy U.S. soybeans despite promises. A shortage of yttrium is emerging, although a U.S. company in Indiana will begin refining it next month. Meanwhile, China sent Coast Guard ships into Japanese waters and unveiled a new aircraft carrier, signaling rising tensions in the Pacific. Trump's Narco-Terror Operation Continues: Another drug boat was destroyed in the Pacific under Operation Southern Spear. Critics in the U.K. claim the strikes violate international law, though the White House says cartels qualify as narco-terrorists and legitimate targets. Britain's Leader Shifts Right on Immigration: Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced sweeping new restrictions, ending cash allowances for asylum seekers, requiring work, and imposing twenty-year waits for permanent residency. Bryan notes the political pressure building across Europe as voters demand tougher borders. Saudi Crown Prince to Visit Washington: The White House may sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, though U.S. intelligence fears technology theft and regional imbalance with Israel. Economic deals may also emerge as Riyadh seeks to follow through on earlier promises. Good News from Southeast Asia: Trump brokered a fresh ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia after border clashes. Cambodia is moving closer to the United States, granting new access to a key naval base and pushing out Chinese crime networks.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump tariff cuts grocery prices, American Family Survey cost of children, migrant truck drivers CDL revocation, DHS Charlotte surge, Tom Homan Catholic bishops border, Seattle socialist mayor police abolition, Los Angeles socialist candidate Rae Huang, James Carville Supreme Court expansion, GOP infighting Epstein files, China rare earth yttrium shortage, Senkaku Islands China Coast Guard, Operation Southern Spear drug boats, UK asylum overhaul Starmer, Saudi Arabia F-35 visit, Cambodia Thailand ceasefire

Three major companies—Mega Nice Trucking, Ryder Last Mile, and Costco Wholesale Corp—are facing what is likely the first significant enforcement action of California's AB5 regulation in the trucking industry, resulting in an $868,000 fine. The California Labor Commission cited the trio for contractor misclassification and resulting wage theft, finding that Ryder and Costco exercised both direct and indirect control over delivery drivers, thereby establishing a joint employer relationship with the carrier.  The trucking industry continues to monitor the fight over the Department of Transportation's non-domiciled Commercial Driver's License rules following the cancellation of 17,000 CDLs in California. Although California Governor Gavin Newsom and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy are engaged in a heated public dispute over the cause, industry experts warn that the evolving enforcement signals new restrictions that will significantly impact carrier liability and freight capacity across the country, with analysts expecting more CDL cancellations in the near future.  A group of Attorneys General from nine states is urging the Surface Transportation Board to conduct a "thorough and exacting" review of the proposed merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern. These AGs, representing GOP states, argue that the consolidation of rail services will compromise national security and stifle competition, leading to exacerbated existing problems such as higher costs and lower reliability for key strategic American industries.

Hour 3 of the Friday Bob Rose Show with the latest on holding states accountable for deadly accidents involving non-English speaking truck and bus drivers, who are issued CDL licenses without passing legal requirements. Stunning numbers of unqualified drivers in California. Plus all the morning's biggest stories for 11-14-25

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, get ready for a new Ice Age. Microsoft founder Bill Gate's logic is that the climate “doomsday” perspective is, thankfully, wrong, and climate change will not lead to our demise. This doomsday perspective means we prioritize short term emissions goals instead of reducing poverty and disease. Also the debate on tariffs continue, Trump and Vance have slight disagreement on immigration and should illegal immigrants hold a CDL to be truck drivers. For more talk on the issues that matter to you, listen on radio stations across America Monday-Friday 12am-5am CT (1am-6am ET and 10pm-3am PT), download the RED EYE RADIO SHOW app, asking your smart speaker, or listening at RedEyeRadioShow.com.

Tara breaks down the ongoing immigration and visa crisis in the U.S., examining how both illegal immigration and H-1B visa programs are impacting American jobs, wages, and housing. From ICE operations in Florida to California's illegal CDL drivers, Tara exposes how corporate and political interests have diluted the workforce, driving up housing costs and displacing Americans. She also scrutinizes Trump's policies, including his visa fees and immigration enforcement, explaining what's working, what's not, and where political narratives distort the truth. Additionally, Tara addresses media manipulation, including the BBC's misrepresentation of Trump's speeches, and explains how these narratives affect public perception.

The Trump administration has done various things to protect our safety, one of which includes meaningful border control policies. Such policies are helping to stop the free-flow of illegal drugs in the U.S. and keep illegal immigrants from committing very egregious crimes. Returning to Crosstalk with an update on this subject was Mark Krikorian. Mark is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues serving as the executive director of Center for Immigration Studies. They are an independent, non-partisan research organization examining and critiquing the impact of immigration on the United States. He has testified numerous times before Congress and has published articles in many outlets. We're 10 months into the Trump administration and according to Mark, by the end of the year we could see as many as 800,000 deportations. In addition, we are at the lowest levels of encounters at the border since the 1960's, and while some individuals may be released on bond by an immigration judge, no one is being released into the country at the border. That's the good news. However, there are still issues to be noted and watched. For example, Mark also reported on the following: What is the current status of the border wall? What's the latest concerning the drug cartel tunnels? California's admittance of issuing 17,000 CDL licenses to foreign nationals. Why are some cities fighting the use of federal help to protect such areas? What about the children that went missing under the Biden administration? How have illegal aliens affected our healthcare and the SNAP program? Should we get out of the U.N. refugee treaty?

Canadian Trucking in 2025: What Drivers Need to Know About Driver Inc. and Industry Trends The Canadian trucking industry is buzzing with change — and drivers need to stay informed. In this episode of The Lead Pedal Podcast, Bruce Outridge dives into the hot topics shaping the industry, including the ongoing Driver Inc. debate, pay transparency, new compliance issues, and what these trends mean for professional drivers in 2025. Get insights into how these changes could affect your job, your pay, and your future in trucking. Whether you're an owner-operator or company driver, this episode will help you understand the real issues behind the headlines and stay ahead in your career.

Carrier sentiment is suppressed by a weak rate environment as the market waits for necessary fleet rationalization, highlighted by historic levels of Class 8 oversupply exceeding 90,000 units. The physical evidence of financial distress is staggering, demonstrated by the collapse in trailer prices—with 3-year-old 53-foot dry vans now trading for under $20,000—and the high volume of repossessions dominating used equipment sales, where 158 out of 162 units sold by Ritchie Bros. in Q3 2025 were repossessions. This contraction is bleeding into the tech sector, as evidenced by the Chapter 11 filing of VC-backed freight tech startup Zuum, which listed assets and liabilities between $10 million and $50 million. Importantly, 19 of Zuum's top 20 unsecured creditors are freight brokers, revealing how interconnected the ecosystem is and exposing brokers to significant financial risk from failed tech platforms. Amidst the contraction, the future driver talent pipeline is seeing massive investment, including a 4.9 million earmark secured by Senator Thom Tillis for Southeastern Community College in North Carolina to aggressively expand its truck driver training program. Furthermore, a significant bureaucratic roadblock was temporarily removed when the DC Court of Appeals issued a temporary stay on the FMCSA's non-domiciled CDL rule, halting restrictions while the court reviews a lawsuit against the regulation. We also cover major international policy shifts, including the U.S. Trade Representative suspending Section 301 port fees on China-built cargo ships for one year, a reciprocal move that temporarily eases global trade tensions. Finally, we discuss the sobering update in air cargo capacity, where the FAA temporarily grounded all MD-11 freighters for inspection following a tragic UPS crash in Louisville, impacting major carriers like UPS and FedEx globally.

Fairbairn explains the proposed “Backup License” system and how these changes could impact hunters, wildlife management, and conservation efforts in the state.

The October Logistics Managers' Index data, detailed in the article October LMI shows price increases outpacing capacity growth, shows transportation utilization (57.3) and pricing (61.7) surged, reversing the prior negative freight inversion. This tight market prediction is worsened by the immediate air cargo capacity shock stemming from the UPS MD-11 crash on November 5th, a tragedy covered in LATEST: Death toll in UPS cargo jet crash rises to 7. This incident led to seven confirmed fatalities and resulted in the indefinite closure of the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport and the complete halt of UPS Worldport operations. Regulatory pressure is further squeezing the driver pool through the FMCSA's new non-domiciled CDL rule, which prevents Ukrainian war refugees from renewing legally obtained licenses, a complex issue explored in CDL overhaul tailspins Ukrainian truckers.
