In this episode of Brake Check on FreightWaves TV, host Charles Gracey is joined by Lewie Pugh (Executive Vice President of OOIDA) & Dan Lindsey of the Broker Carrier Summit, to tackle the growing issue of "Chameleon Carriers" in the trucking industry. They dive deep into how bad actors exploit systemic loopholes—changing DOT numbers and carrier identities for a nominal fee to dodge regulatory oversight, enforcement, and safety accountability—and what this means for highway safety, honest truck drivers, and industry standards. Key topics discussed include: The anatomy of a Chameleon Carrier empire and how easy it is to exploit current regulations. The critical need for stricter carrier accountability, real training standards, and audited CDL schools. Legislative efforts, including the SAFE Act and new FMCSA registration updates. Why drivers often end up taking the fall for predatory carrier practices and poor oversight. ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

AI is rapidly making its way into healthcare — helping clinicians identify deteriorating patients earlier, improving hospital flow and discharge planning, reducing administrative work, and beginning to change how and where care is delivered. But as hospitals adopt more and more AI tools, a new challenge is emerging: how do you manage, monitor and govern all of it?In this episode of The Unlimited Podcast®, Brian speaks with Mara Lederman, Co-Founder of Signal 1, a healthcare technology company building the infrastructure health systems need to manage AI at scale.Brian and Mara discuss her more than two decades as a professor at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, her experience leading the Toronto site of the Creative Destruction Lab, and what she learned working alongside early-stage technology founders as AI began transforming industries. They also explore Mara's own leap from professor to entrepreneur: why she left academia to co-found Signal 1 with Canadian AI entrepreneur Tomi Poutanen, how the company evolved from developing individual healthcare AI applications to helping health systems manage their broader AI portfolios, and what she has learned from making the transition from advising entrepreneurs to becoming one herself.Mara Lederman is Co-Founder of Signal 1. She previously spent more than two decades on the faculty of the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management and served as Site Lead of the Creative Destruction Lab in Toronto, where she worked extensively with early-stage technology companies and helped develop CDL's health-focused programming.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a massive milestone in cross-border commerce as US-Mexico trade smashed the monthly record at nearly $95 billion in July. Two-way trade surged 27.5% year over year, with Mexico now firmly holding its position as America's number one trading partner ahead of Canada and China. Laredo, Texas, retained its crown as the nation's busiest international trade gateway, handling nearly $37 billion in commerce while experiencing tight trucking capacity.Meanwhile, federal regulators are giving carriers some breathing room during a major technology transition. We discuss how FMCSA suspended enforcement of biennial update requirements and stopped deactivating USDOT numbers for missed filings. The relief covers deadlines on or after June 1, 2026, and remains in place while registrants transition to the agency's new MOTUS system, which launched in May.Finally, we unpack the federal government's aggressive crackdown on alleged CDL fraud as ICE launched a tip line for reporting suspected commercial driver's license fraud in partnership with the Department of Transportation. The tip line comes shortly after federal officials removed over 110 commercial driver training schools from a federal registry, with HSI already receiving more than 1,000 leads involving CDL-related businesses suspected of unsafe practices and potential connections to human smuggling, drug trafficking, and cartel activity.Follow the FreightWaves NOW PodcastOther FreightWaves Shows Learn more about your ad choices.

The boys are back to break down CDL rostermania. Scrap and HyDra's decision is imminent, aBeZy getting dropped, OpTic FormaL banned, Parasite controller cheating?

Welcome to episode #290 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we cover our final week of the MW4 beta, and it has been one to remember for the right reasons as compared to week 1. Infinity Ward has been listening to the feedback, and many of the initial complaints have been addressed. We go over these major changes/adjustments that have been made, and draw the comparisons between the first and second weeks. With MW4 now on the right track, the question still remains as to what still needs to be worked on, and if this game is still in danger of being a failure with the fans and community. We give our thoughts on some of the big changes that still need to be made, and some other quality of life changes that we feel will make it more sustainable in the long term. Finally, we close on the news regarding the Boston Breach and the new ownership the spot is taking, with M80 coming in to now be the Boston M80 team, and we are beyond excited for this new chapter for Boston in the CDL. The future looks bright for this team, and we give our impressions and hopes for this team going into MW4. What did you think of week 2 of the beta? Did you play week 1 as well, or was the open beta your first time playing? What do you think of the changes that have been made? Did the game improve or worsen? What are some changes that you feel still need to be made, and will it be enough to bring some old fans back to the series? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Off the top of this Overdrive Radio edition, the voice of Atlantic Logistics CEO Rob Hooper talking about trust, responding specifically to a question about whether all the shipper, broker and carrier friction in today's freight markets is driving wedges between the relationships. Regular listeners well know what we're talking about -- cyber fraud and identity verificaitons pingpongig back and forth between the parties, slowing freight bookings as the opposite, distrust, breeds all around. Our big broker-and-carrier-vetting survey this year saw 66% of owner-operators name principally negative impacts after the rise in carrier vetting platforms specifically. Among them was roughly 1 in every 10 survey respondent owner-operators who called out as principal impact the wedge of distrust increased scrutiny continued to drive between them and brokerage partners. Access the full survey results here: https://overdriveonline.com/15829986 In this week's Labor Day edition of the podcast, a look into the FTR Transportation Intelligence conference, an annual affair last week where late in the day Tuesday a rep from the National Motor Frieght Traffic Association, Joe Ohr, and the one and only Dale Prax, FreightValidate founder and now a strategic advisor to Truckstop.com, joined Hooper for this talk through issues of revenue fraud like double-brokering, increasingly sophisticated cargo theft rings, and what was on everybody's mind Tuesday that first day of September after Departments of Transportation and Homeland Security announced the new White House fraud task force. Prax gives some background on it from his perspective, and you can read a whole lot more about it from Overdrive's own Alex Lockie's in follow-on reports: **Initial announcement of CDL school sweeps, and task force: https://overdriveonline.com/15833705 **Targeted schools respond: https://overdriveonline.com/15834186 Prax calls back to 2023 when Vice President J.D. Vance was part of a group of Senators pushing for the idea of a fraud task force as a kind of “cop on the block” to police double-brokering and ID-theft-enabled revenue fraud, cargo theft by fraud, and the many other forms these interstate freight crimes take. Some credit can go to longtime transport attorney Hank Seaton for proferring the very idea of a task force years earlier, and for the current administration for advancing it in the current form: https://overdriveonline.com/15539812 Of course, as Prax also acknowledges, much of the meat of the announcement and subsequent press attention has been angled straight on policing CDL schools and immigration through English requirements and the like. Prax seems to read it as a way to garner more attention to the Dalilah's Law legislation stalled in Congress and that would codify the FMCSA's almost total ban of non-domiciled CDLs for non-citizens. The challenge against that rule is set for oral arguments in federal court just more than a week away at this point. Whether it will remain stading hangs in the balance. Yet given Vance's lead involvement on the task force, and the demonstrated concern expressed by the Senator in past over longstanding cargo-theft and revenue-fraud issues, here's hope we can expect at least more intense prosecutorial footing on those fronts in the coming years. There's plenty all truckers and other parties in legit freight transactions can do actively, too, as you'll hear from Joe Ohr in particular in the panel.

The Trump administration has invoked executive authority to shutter 110 commercial driver's license schools, targeting a fraud network that put thousands of unqualified truck drivers on American roads. At a press conference in Detroit, federal officials didn't mince words — California, under Governor Gavin Newsom, was named the single worst abuser in the country, with New York and Illinois close behind.The crackdown follows the discovery that more than 5,000 truck drivers linked to these schools failed federal English language proficiency tests. Investigators uncovered a cash-for-CDL bribery ring where third-party testers accepted gold envelopes stuffed with cash in exchange for passing grades on tests the drivers could not legitimately pass. The toll: 28,000 licenses revoked, and 239 deaths now linked to improperly licensed commercial drivers on American highways.Washington state wasn't clean either. One of the 110 shuttered schools operated right here in the Pacific Northwest — and the Skyline CDL bribery scheme and a Florida turnpike crash caught on in-cab video make the picture even worse. Sean breaks down the full state-by-state breakdown and what the new federal CDL enforcement guidelines mean going forward.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode of News for Reasonable People.#NFRP #California #NewsomGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

 It's Never Too Late: Trucker Turned Musician Teddy Rowe's Inspiring Journey It is never too late to chase your passion. In this episode of The Lead Pedal Podcast, host Bruce Outridge sits down with trucking musician Teddy Rowe to talk about life behind the wheel, getting a later start in life, and turning his open-road experiences into a thriving music career. Teddy opens up about the grit and realities of long-haul driving, the pivotal moment he picked up his musical craft, and what it takes to reinvent yourself and find your voice no matter where you are in life.

Who the hell gave them a CDL .... and why did it take a family paying the price before Washington started listening?This episode of Brake Check isn't an attack on professional truck drivers. It's an investigation into the systems, safeguards, bad actors and policymakers that are supposed to keep unqualified drivers from ever getting behind the wheel of a commercial truck.Professional truck driver and father Marcus Coleman joins Charles  after taking his family's story to Congress. His daughter Dalilah suffered catastrophic injuries in a crash, and Marcus is now fighting for Dalilah's Law and stronger accountability throughout the commercial driver licensing system.We dig into the questions Washington needs to answer:How does an unqualified driver get a CDL? Where can the licensing and verification process fail? Who is responsible when safeguards aren't followed? What would Dalilah's Law actually change? And why does government so often react AFTER somebody pays the price?Then Zach Meiborg, owner of Meiborg Transportation, joins the conversation.Meiborg isn't just talking about supporting Dalilah's family — they're opening their Rockford, Illinois headquarters September 26 for the Stand With Dalilah Charity Motorcycle Ride.But we also tackle another side of the same accountability problem: legitimate motor carriers spending real money to hire qualified drivers, maintain equipment, follow hours-of-service regulations and operate legally while bad actors can gain an unfair advantage by cutting corners.Running illegal isn't innovation. Cheating isn't competition. And a government-issued piece of paper shouldn't replace actual qualification.This episode is about CDL standards, trucking safety, driver qualification, hours-of-service compliance, FMCSA enforcement, bad carriers, Dalilah's Law and government accountability.Professional truckers deserve better than being lumped together with operators who never should've been on the road.Families deserve better than finding out where the system failed after the crash.And policymakers?CONGRESS, IT'S YOUR TURN.#Trucking #CDL #TruckDrivers #TruckingSafety #FMCSA #Congress #Transportation #TruckingIndustry #OwnerOperator #BrakeCheck Learn more about your ad choices.

Motoring historian Jon Summers records a monologue from Highway 40 in New Mexico about long-haul trucking, sparked by a former FBI agent's book claiming many truckers are serial killers; Jon argues the job's transience and past lack of surveillance could enable predators, while stressing most truckers are not killers. He links truck-stop culture with prostitution/sex trafficking and discusses how CCTV and truck monitoring change risks today. He also describes the alienation of American rest stops, grueling hours, energy-drink dependence, dangerous speed differentials, and how trucking's distances strain family life. Exploring his fascination with big rigs, especially Freightliner and Volvo dominance due to fleet support networks and aerodynamics, while Kenworth/Peterbilt serve owner-operators and Mack fills niches. Jon considers buying a truck, CDL requirements, owner-operator “indentured servitude,” pay claims, high turnover, and predicts autonomous trucks will end the era of piloted over-the-road hauling. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Trucker Serial Killer Claim 03:00 Transience and Truck Stops 05:13 Sex Trafficking Connection 07:24 Love's and Driver Fatigue 11:01 Freightliner Obsession 17:47 Why Fleets Choose Volvo? 20:04 Autonomous Truck Future 22:21 Buying a Used Rig 26:19 Pay Rates and Turnover 29:34 The Owner/Operator Trap 32:11 City Driving, Wrap Up and Network Credits ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian.

From federal crackdowns on illegal CDL fraud to rising tensions inside Senate campaign strategy, Lee and Tara uncover shocking news!

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 31, 2026. We open by digging into the Trump administration's crackdown on fraudulent commercial driving schools, walking through why English proficiency and real CDL training aren't bureaucratic red tape but a matter of public safety, and how the Biden-era rollback of licensing standards left blue states like New York, California, and Illinois with hundreds of noncompliant schools, thousands of unsafe drivers, and a real national security exposure tied to unaccountable 18-wheelers. From there we run through the Top 3 things you need to know: a new U.S.-Venezuela oil deal aimed at cutting China out of the picture, U.S. military strikes on Iranian targets in the Persian Gulf tied to sea-mine activity, and the federal shutdown of over a hundred more commercial trucking schools tied to unlicensed, non-English-speaking drivers. We touch on sports activism, from NFL end-zone messaging to Tennessee honoring Dolly Parton with a helmet sticker, before turning it over to our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, who take on a listener question about whether they'd write a child out of the will over socialism, plus a detour into trade schools, Mike Rowe, and the value of a good vocation. Digging Deep, we cover a New York assistant attorney general's viral internal email accusing AG Letitia James's office of manufacturing a case against Trump, and what happened to him within an hour of hitting send. We also look at President Trump's push to lure Canadian businesses south of the border, the "Best and Brightest" push to recruit sharp, fast-processing minds — including gamers — into air traffic control now that DEI mandates are gone, and a Texas Senate candidate's blunt new campaign pitch: vote for me, I'll raise your taxes. For our Bright Spot, we look at a year of data out of Texas A&M on school cell phone bans, and the real gains in grades, anxiety, and old-fashioned face-to-face friendship they're producing. And we close on a heartwarming story out of the Bronx, where a pizza shop owner's simple act of kindness for a woman digging through his trash turned into a nationwide movement of paying it forward, one slice at a time.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration announces a sweeping crackdown on illegal truck drivers and fraudulent CDL practices, targeting driving schools accused of serious violations and networks involved in drug and human trafficking. Joey also breaks down the latest fight with Canada, Trump’s battle with NBC, rising grocery prices, and the stakes of the upcoming midterm elections.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The freight industry is facing a major wave of regulatory, economic and operational changes. On this episode of FreightWaves Today, Craig and Julie breaks down the latest developments affecting trucking, freight brokers, autonomous trucks, railroads and cross-border freight. The show opens with the FMCSA crackdown on CDL schools, including the shutdown of hundreds of driving schools over concerns involving English-language proficiency, facilities and instructor qualifications. The discussion examines what tougher barriers to entry could mean for trucking safety, capacity and the broader freight market. The hosts also dive into a major Penske liability case, the future of the independent contractor model and the potential impact of new legal precedents on freight brokers and motor carriers. They discuss the latest movement on the FMCSA freight broker transparency rule, which could require brokers to maintain electronic transaction records and provide them to carriers or shippers upon request. The episode also explores California's autonomous truck regulations, including the state's million-mile testing requirement and a legal challenge from the California Teamsters. With autonomous trucking continuing to advance, the conversation looks at the growing battle over technology, regulation and trucking jobs. Joining the show is Dr. David Correll of Telegraph, who discusses his company's latest six-month freight rail outlook. Harrell shares his forecast for rail carload and intermodal volumes, the potential for coal exports, tank car availability, the impact of energy prices and the massive industrial demand being created by AI data center construction. He also explains why the widening price gap between truckload and intermodal transportation could continue shifting freight from trucks to rail. The team then examines the rapid growth of U.S.-Mexico cross-border freight, with Laredo and other border markets seeing significant increases in transportation activity amid nearshoring and changing global trade patterns. Later, Josh Lovan of J.J. Keller joins the show to discuss carrier vetting, freight broker compliance, safety management and the growing legal risks facing brokers after major nuclear verdicts. Loving outlines what companies should be doing now to create a defensible carrier-vetting process, including reviewing CSA and roadside inspection data, documenting carrier-selection decisions and consistently enforcing safety standards.

Trucking says young people don't want to drive trucks. BULLSH*T. They're showing up. The real question is why we keep losing them.... With driver turnover still hammering parts of the industry, trucking keeps searching for the next generation while arguing about recruiting, CDL training, driver pay and a supposed lack of young people willing to work. What if the pipeline isn't actually the biggest problem? What if it's what happens AFTER they enter it? On this episode of Brake Check, Charles sits down with Lindsey Trent, President and Co-Founder of Next Generation in Trucking, and Tim Crawford, Co-Founder and CEO of Tenstreet, to dig into what it will actually take to recruit ... and KEEP .... trucking's next generation. We break down young truck drivers, Gen Z in trucking, CDL training, Workforce Pell, high-school CDL programs, apprenticeships, driver recruiting, onboarding, mentorship, home time and driver retention. Can small trucking companies realistically build relationships with high schools and CDL programs? Who pays the training bill? What happens to 18-to-20-year-old CDL holders who can't run interstate? What does the next generation actually expect from a carrier? And are fleets building careers young people want — or just feeding more drivers into the same turnover machine? Then we turn to the technology side. Tenstreet CEO Tim Crawford joins us to discuss small-fleet technology, carrier verification, fraud prevention, compliance, broker trust and Driver Pulse Fleet — including why legitimate carriers increasingly feel like they're being treated as guilty until proven innocent and what small fleets can do to better prove who they are. We also tackle one uncomfortable question trucking can't avoid:If changing jobs can cost a driver thousands of dollars and they're STILL willing to pay it just to leave your company...what does that say about YOU? The next generation isn't some future trucking problem. THEY'RE ALREADY HERE. Now trucking has to give them a reason to stay. #Trucking #TruckDrivers #GenZ #CDL #CDLTraining #DriverRecruiting #DriverRetention #OwnerOperator #TruckingIndustry #Freight ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Oakley Podcast, Jeremy Kellett sits down with OOIDA's Lewie Pugh to unpack several key issues affecting truckers today, including the Freedom Haulers initiative that helps military veterans transition into civilian trucking by waiving certain CDL tests, and why carriers still need to provide extra training and support so veterans don't get caught in industry churn. They dig into Delilah's Law and related DOT rule changes on English proficiency and non-domiciled CDLs, stressing the need for drivers to contact lawmakers to get these protections codified. Lewie updates listeners on broker transparency efforts, widespread fraud, and why building direct shipper relationships matters more than ever. They also cover the national truck parking shortage, new funding and expansion projects (like on I‑70 and in Illinois), and how future highway bills could add more free parking capacity. Finally, they discuss the sting of surging fuel prices, the importance of solid fuel surcharge structures and discounts (including OOIDA's fuel card), and the broader mission of OOIDA to advocate for drivers, lower turnover, and keep small trucking businesses alive. Key topics in today's conversation include: Value Of a Good Shop and Long-Term Maintenance Relationships (3:17) Freedom Haulers Event at the White House and Veteran CDL Waivers (7:54) Extra Training Needed When Veterans Transition To Civilian Trucking (11:12) Delilah's Law, English Proficiency, and Non-Domiciled CDL Crackdown (15:24) Detention Time, Shippers, Receivers, and Loading Inefficiencies (18:27) Broker Transparency, Fraud, Motus Issues, and Safety Concerns (23:11) Illinois Rest Area Projects and Upcoming Federal Parking Funds (27:54) Mental and Physical Toll of Trucking and Daily Frustrations (33:18) Oakley's Fuel Surcharge Structure and Fuel Discount Strategy (38:03) OOIDA Fuel Card, Multiple Discount Cards, and Controlling Costs (39:44) Truck Driver Appreciation Week and Long Beach IANA Event (43:45) How To Join OOIDA, Membership Code, and Key Member Benefits (44:59) Closing Thoughts and Final Thanks to Drivers (48:15) Oakley Trucking is a family-owned and operated trucking company headquartered in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
