In this episode, Ingrid Brown from Blackjack Express, LLC and Women in Trucking Association breaks down the following topics:  Why adaptation in transportation and freight brokerage isn't optional; it's the price of staying in business in a volatile freight market. How federal initiatives from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation are pushing for unified CDL standards across all 50 states to eliminate loopholes, increase accountability, and raise the bar on safety compliance, while emphasizing that enforcement at the state level is what truly removes unsafe carriers from the road. Ingrid's direct involvement in shaping hours-of-service and sleeper berth reforms, and why severe penalties, consistent regulation, and data-driven policy are essential to creating fairness for legitimate motor carriers and freight brokers. The growing divide between brokers and drivers, how social media conflict is fueling misinformation, and why real collaboration, education, and face-to-face communication are critical to rebuilding trust across the trucking industry. Sustainable growth in transportation comes down to mindset, accountability, safety culture, and a shared commitment to long-term industry leadership. If we want freight to thrive for decades to come, we've got to stop chasing noise and start building solutions!  

The dust has settled, the steel has been cleared, and the road to the biggest stage of them all is officially wide open!In this episode, Lee Houston and David Burton break down the massive fallout from WWE Elimination Chamber. We've got a stacked lineup of reactions and analysis as the landscape of the title picture shifts once again.

Are dry van rates finally stabilizing, and what do new FMCSA regulations, insurance increases, and AI recruiting mean for your trucking business moving forward?   Today, I break down the following topics: Why the Ontario, California to Seattle, Washington dry van lane continues to show long-term freight market stability with only a modest $150 rate increase year over year, while the Seattle outbound market still struggles with a persistent rate imbalance that directly impacts carrier pricing strategy and broker negotiations. The FMCSA's push to raise trucking insurance minimums from $750,000 to potentially $2 million, and how that could reduce carrier capacity, increase premiums, and force small carriers and owner-operators out of the market if they're not prepared. The real impact of Delilah's Law and new CDL standardization efforts aimed at improving driver safety, even if it temporarily tightens driver availability, and why brokers need stronger carrier vetting now more than ever. AI in driver recruiting — where automation can improve screening but still struggles against one undeniable advantage in freight: real human relationships, trust, and communication that continue to separate successful carriers, brokers, and recruiters in today's competitive trucking industry.   Resources / References https://www.ttnews.com/articles/driver-recruiters-agentic-ai https://www.freightwaves.com/news/fmcsa-spotlights-truckings-multi-million-dollar-insurance-gap https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15818227/dalilah-law-introduced-in-congress-to-reform-cdl-issuance

In this week's edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast, catch the address delivered by, and Q&A with, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration chief Derek Barrs at the annual transportation symposium of the Specialized Carriers and Rigging Association, held last week in Birmingham, Alabama. Barrs touches on quite a lot, including the last-week-introduced Dalilah Law that might cement the FMCSA's preferred approach to limiting non-domiciled CDLs for non-citizens but that also casts a wide net on CDL recertifications: https://overdriveonline.com/15818235 His talk came the morning of the very day, Feb. 26, that petitioners challenging that non-domiciled final rule filed a formal request for a stay of the March 16 effective date, pending court review. While Barrs didn't note the new filing or the past court action against the prior rule version, he cast the agency's moves on CDL qualifications as fundamentally necessary. "We are taking steps from our non-domiciled CDL process to make sure that we strengthen that so that when we issue that, we're not issuing to someone who has not been truly vetted," Barrs said, "and we're not giving driver's licenses to individuals who are only supposed to be in this country for two years but we're allowing them to have CDLs for eight or nine years. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life" -- a reference to evidence uncovered by federal auditors in a variety of states of legal presence and CDL term mismatches. After the applause died down, Barrs added, "That is a one-size-fits-all." That's not how the likes of owner-operator Jorge Rivera Lujan and his fellow litigants see it, however. Their challenge to the FMCSA's non-domiciled CDL final rule noted quite a different dynamic in FMCSA's safety justification for its rule, which would invalidate Rivera's CDL eligibility. A non-domiciled CDL holder for many years now, owner-operator Rivera, unlike many more recent arrivals to the country, has lived virtually his entire life in the U.S. after his undocumented parents brought him to California. He enjoys the protections of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA program, as listeners heard with our talk with Rivera a few weeks back: https://overdriveonline.com/15816105 He and fellow litigants asked the court to stay the rule pending review, generally arguing the agency paints the situation of non-domiciled CDL holders today with too broad a brush, Rivera a principal example. Hear much more from Barrs about the agency's perspective in the podcast, likewise potential upcoming rulemakings around electronic-logging-device and training-provider certification, "chameleon carrier" enforcement and more.

Welcome to episode #263 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we cover the most recent CDL matches, as we are getting into the midst of the major 2 qualifiers, and there are some serious concerns with teams. We start with the Breach, and their struggles to get any wins against the mid pack, putting them in a dangerous spot to not be able to qualify for major 2. Lots of talks are around which players they need to drop and who to get, and we share our thoughts on what we think the teams need to do, and where they currently stand. Lots of teams have been taking chances on challengers players, and we have seen the benefit of this strategy, as well as seeing teams struggle when rotating new players in constantly. We cover the other teams that have made these moves and assess where they are at since the change. Have they improved or declined? Finally, we end with the news of legendary COD Youtuber Spratt announcing he is stepping away from COD content as he focuses on his family. This raises the discussion around old youtubers who have moved on, and is the current state of COD influencing them to call it quits? We cover our history with old youtubers and give some insight on the topic. What do you think are the next moves for the Breach? Do they need to make further changes, and if so, what are those changes? What other teams in your opinion need to make changes now before things get out of hand in the qualifiers? Finally, what do you think of the old COD content creators slowly retiring? Did you watch these guys back in the day, or did you miss that era of COD Youtube?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Marc Cox dives into a viral wrong-way trucking incident in Lincoln County, exploring how a Somali driver with limited English proficiency obtained a CDL from Minnesota. He examines the broader implications of fraudulent licensing, interstate commerce, and safety risks, while connecting it to immigration and legal enforcement issues.

These are not just state crimes. Illegal truck drivers are making a mockery of CDL laws, and they're doing it in every state that has roads, buoyed by blue state politicians who are pushing illegal immigration.

Last night’s State of the Union Address was, though indirectly, in many ways largely indicative of the ‘State of our Union’; irascible, beleaguered, gaslighted, schizophrenic.

Claim Rebuttal Source Rebuttal ‘$18 trillion’ in investments CNN’s Daniel Dale “…the White House’s own website said the figure for “major investment announcements” during this Trump term was “$9.7 trillion,” and even that is a major exaggeration; a detailed CNN review in [Oct 2025] found [WH counting trillions in] vague investment pledges, pledges that were about “bilateral trade” or “economic exchange” rather than investment in the US and vague statements that didn’t even rise to the level of pledges.” Low gas prices (2.30, 1.99, 1.85) CNN’s Daniel Dale According to AAA: only 2 states w/ avg < $2.50/gal; GasBuddy: 4:150k (.003%) gas stations w/ gas < $2/gal Inherited record inflation CNN’s Daniel Dale Dec, 2024 Y-O-Y inflation (CPI): 2.9% Inherited stagnant economy CNN’s Daniel Dale False (see details) Passed largest tax cuts (GBBB) in American history CNN’s Tami Luhby “It ranks seventh in terms of share of GDP since 1918, according to Chris Towner, policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog group.” Biden allowed ‘11,888 murderers’ to enter US as migrants CNN’s Daniel Dale ““11,888” number is about non-citizens who entered the US not just under Biden but over the course of multiple decades, including during Trump’s own first administration.” Foreign countries are paying T47 tariffs CNN’s Daniel Dale “In an analysis released in February, officials at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York wrote, “We find that nearly 90 percent of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers.”…[CBO] wrote in a February report that “the net effect of tariffs is to raise U.S. consumer prices by the full portion of the cost of the tariffs borne domestically (95 percent)”…” Fraud in Minnesota CNN’s Daniel Dale “…Walz admin official said in December that they had “evidence of tens of millions of dollars in fraud to this point,” not $9[/18/19] billion…” US elections claims CNN’s Daniel Dale Disputed (see details) More Americans are working today than ever CNN’s Daniel Dale “The labor force participation rate, which measures the percentage of the population that is employed or actively looking for work, has been almost unchanged…” Ended eight wars CNN’s Daniel Dale Largely disputed (see details) Achieved no tax on Social Security CNN’s Tami Luhby Disputed, misleading (see details) Balancing the federal budget by ending fraud CNN’s Tami Luhby 2024 GAO estimate “found that [$233–521B] is lost to fraud annually. But the federal budget deficit came in at just under $1.8 trillion for the most recent fiscal year, which ended in September, according to the Treasury Department – more than triple the highest estimated fraud total.” #Contemporaneous Notes Duration: 01:47:43 (longest SOTU in history – breaking the modern record he set last year.)

Brake Check Live, we break down three developments every carrier should be watching closely. FMCSA has issued mandatory directives surrounding non-domiciled CDLs ... a move designed to restore licensing integrity, but one that could reshape compliance exposure overnight. At the same time, the insurance market continues to reveal cracks in what was once considered trucking's last failsafe. Are carriers being judged by performance ... or by association? And finally, federal authorities have launched a multi-state sting targeting sham CDL training operations. If training has been scaled without accountability, what does that mean for sustainable safety? Joining the panel: Rob Carpenter Brandon Wiseman Truck Safe Consulting This is not a recap of headlines. This is a drivers lived experience, carrier-focused breakdown of risk, liability, and operational consequences. Brake Check is the industry wake-up call. ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to episode #262 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start with our ranked status so far, and where we have improved, and where we are still struggling. There is still a lot to learn in ranked, and we give thoughts on those who vote to forfeit. We think this is a problem with most new players today, who simply don't want to keep playing to improve, and want an easier game to make them feel as if they're actually improving. We then shift towards covering the past CDL weekend, and we have learned a lot from the team's current standings post Major 1. Lots of teams have serious weaknesses in their ability on modes, or players simply not performing. With new amateur players starting for Thieves and KOI, the question becomes do teams at the bottom take similar chances?How are you progressing in ranked so far? Do you know your strengths and weaknesses? When you lose, do you learn from your mistakes and work with your teammate, or do you dashboard? Finally, what are your opinions on the bottom teams, and which teams do you think are in need of a change?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

In this episode, we'll discuss flatbed market trends where seasonal rate stability continues with predictable spikes tied to construction demand and higher weekend freight rates caused by carrier shortages, the FMCSA CDL training crackdown targeting hundreds of non-compliant schools, and why overall trucking capacity remains high with excess trucks still in the market despite enforcement efforts.   I also address the rising broker fraud risks, including lessons from the AGX Freight situation, why stronger vetting and accountability are critical for protecting carriers and shippers, the new non-domiciled CDL compliance rules, and what brokers and carriers must do now to stay compliant and competitive!   Resources / References https://www.ttnews.com/articles/dot-targets-550-cdl-schools https://www.overdriveonline.com/business/article/15817385/agx-freight-goes-bust-stiffs-carriers-starts-new-mc https://www.freightwaves.com/news/fmcsa-issues-mandatory-non-domiciled-cdl-directive  

Norfolk Southern and CMA CGM have announced a partnership to launch a new "truck-like" intermodal service connecting the Port of Los Angeles to key Midwest markets. This door-to-door option utilizes high-cube containers to offer the flexibility of trucking while reducing emissions through the rail network. Federal investigators are cracking down on safety violations with a massive sting operation targeting sham CDL training schools across the United States. The FMCSA has issued notices to more than 500 providers accused of using unqualified instructors and fast-tracking unprepared drivers onto the road. FedEx is signaling a major shift in strategy by doubling down on premium surcharges and moving away from subsidized low-cost shipping. The company plans to prioritize high-margin sectors like healthcare and heavyweight goods to drive profitability over volume.

Malcolm kicks off the show with a look at current headlines, including UPS's optimization plan to close 22 sortation centers and the FMCSA's crackdown on CDL non-compliance in Illinois. The segment also highlights rising cargo theft data, noting that California and Texas accounted for 58% of US incidents in 2025. Headlines are followed up with two great interviews. Robert Nathan, Co-founder and CEO of Envoy AI, shares insights from his 20-year career that began in the warehouse and led to building a top-50 freight brokerage. He emphasizes the need for a shift toward human-centric technology, specifically building “carrier copilots” that empower the individual user rather than just the enterprise. Nathan also highlights the reality of systemic margin compression, advising brokerages to prepare for a future where they must operate profitably at margins as low as 7%. Following Nathan, Chris Torrence, Chief Strategy Officer at MapUp, brings a perspective shaped by military logistics and over 25 years in the industry. Torrence argues against the “pressure cooker” mentality of transactional sales, advocating instead for the cultivation of “reputation capital” and long-term relationships. He stresses the importance of personal branding and authenticity, noting that while technology can always be replicated, the trust built through genuine human connection remains the ultimate differentiator in a crowded market. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

Is trucking entering a new era? In this episode of Brake Check on FreightWaves, we examine two forces shaping the future of freight workforce development and legal accountability. First, Lindsey Trent of the Next Generation in Trucking Association joins us to discuss the mission of the next generation in trucking. Are we finally fixing the pipeline? What are we getting right  and where are we still missing the mark? Then we turn to the Supreme Court ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC with Shannon Everett of American Truckers United. We break down:• What the ruling actually means • Whether broker immunity is narrowing • Insurance and liability ripple effects • The impact on small carriers • Non-domiciled CDL concerns • Whether this strengthens accountability  or destabilizes freight This episode connects the next generation entering trucking with the legal framework they're stepping into. Because when liability shifts, capital shifts. When capital shifts, freight shifts.
