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.

On this episode of FreightWaves Today, Craig Fuller and Julie Van de Kamp break down the latest signals from across trucking, rail, intermodal and the broader industrial economy. Thom Albrecht of Reliance Partners joins the show to discuss where the freight cycle is headed, improving demand signals and the supply-side forces reshaping trucking. Albrecht explains how English-language proficiency enforcement, non-domiciled CDL scrutiny, changes to CDL and ELD self-certification, safety enforcement and major court decisions could affect capacity and potentially extend the current freight cycle. The show also dives into what the railroads are telling us about the health of the industrial economy, including strength across commodities such as chemicals, scrap metal, steel-related freight and grain. Craig and Julie examine the continued shift of freight toward intermodal and BNSF's expanded Phoenix-to-Dallas-Fort Worth service as railroads look to capture more over-the-road truckload freight. Plus, Bloomberg Intelligence's Lee Klaskow provides his outlook for transportation and what the fourth quarter could hold, Oliver Sawbridge brings a supply chain intelligence perspective to the conversation, and Bill Stephens closes out the show with a deeper look at the rail industry and what current volumes are signaling about the economy. Craig and Julie also cover the day's biggest freight headlines, including Americold's new $80 million cold-storage hub at Port Saint John, BNSF's intermodal expansion between Phoenix and Dallas-Fort Worth, and UPS strengthening its Asia-Pacific air cargo network.

In this episode, we kick things off in Washington, where lawmakers are aggressively tying executive pay to actual delivery performance at the struggling Postal Service. A bipartisan bill ⁠barring USPS executives from receiving bonuses until on-time delivery hits ninety-five percent⁠ was approved by the Senate Homeland Security Committee last week. The No Bonuses for Bad Service Act comes as the mail carrier missed its on-time target for all eight delivery categories in fiscal year 2025, lost twenty-five billion dollars over the last three years, and reported a two point five billion dollar loss for the third quarter. Next, we shift over to the truckload sector, where Werner Enterprises is shrugging off recent spot market softness and doubling down on the supply-driven recovery. Speaking at Deutsche Bank's Chicago Industrials Summit Tuesday, ⁠Chairman and CEO Derek Leathers told investors the company remains unfazed by the seasonal slowdown⁠ in July truckload spot market trends. Leathers estimates that eight hundred fifty to nine hundred CDL schools have been forced to close due to insufficient training standards, powering Werner's turnaround with the company's one-way truckload fleet seeing revenue per truck per week jump twenty-eight percent year over year in the second quarter. Finally, we cover the nationwide crackdown on fraudulent CDL training programs as state regulators in Michigan join the fight. The Michigan Department of State ⁠issued a summary suspension to Northern Michigan University Truck Driving School on August fifth⁠ following an investigation that uncovered multiple alleged violations. Among the most significant allegations, regulators said the school provided behind-the-wheel instruction to students without first verifying they possessed valid commercial learner's permits and allowed students to sign blank instructional documents that were subsequently completed. ⁠Follow the FreightWaves Today Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

In the SONAR update, Julie gives a detailed look at current tender rejections sitting at 13.5%, rising import container volumes, domestic rail mode shifts, and carrier authority changes. Then Patrick Kelleher, CEO of GXO Logistics, stops by to discuss peak season expectations, rapid growth in AI data center construction, manufacturing re-shoring, and tests with humanoid robotics in the warehouse. Trains Magazine's Bill Stephens is back with the latest numbers from Association of American Railroads (AAR) weekly volume data, strong non-coal carload gains, and a federal court ruling upholding the FRA's two-person crew rule. And lastly, Jeff Dangelo, CEO of Fura, announces the acquisition of High Rise (their 7th deal) and explains how AI is streamlining operations and unlocking massive EBITDA improvements for small-to-midsize brokerages.

In this episode, we kick things off in Washington, where lawmakers are aggressively tying executive pay to actual delivery performance at the struggling Postal Service. A bipartisan bill barring USPS executives from receiving bonuses until on-time delivery hits ninety-five percent was approved by the Senate Homeland Security Committee last week. The No Bonuses for Bad Service Act comes as the mail carrier missed its on-time target for all eight delivery categories in fiscal year 2025, lost twenty-five billion dollars over the last three years, and reported a two point five billion dollar loss for the third quarter. Next, we shift over to the truckload sector, where Werner Enterprises is shrugging off recent spot market softness and doubling down on the supply-driven recovery. Speaking at Deutsche Bank's Chicago Industrials Summit Tuesday, Chairman and CEO Derek Leathers told investors the company remains unfazed by the seasonal slowdown in July truckload spot market trends. Leathers estimates that eight hundred fifty to nine hundred CDL schools have been forced to close due to insufficient training standards, powering Werner's turnaround with the company's one-way truckload fleet seeing revenue per truck per week jump twenty-eight percent year over year in the second quarter. Finally, we cover the nationwide crackdown on fraudulent CDL training programs as state regulators in Michigan join the fight. The Michigan Department of State issued a summary suspension to Northern Michigan University Truck Driving School on August fifth following an investigation that uncovered multiple alleged violations. Among the most significant allegations, regulators said the school provided behind-the-wheel instruction to students without first verifying they possessed valid commercial learner's permits and allowed students to sign blank instructional documents that were subsequently completed.

Welcome to episode #286 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we have a discussion regarding the news that there is interest from organizations to buy the Boston Breach CDL spot for next year. Though this has not officially been confirmed, and most likely not until after seasons end, we see this as a massive move with our connection to the Breach, as well as an important move that will showcase some of the issues with the CDL format regarding teams, budget, and talent. We discuss some of these systemic issues that have created this massive divide in team funds, and therefore talent opportunities for these teams to compete and make the league more competitive. There is a strong likelihood that we could see a revolving door of teams moving into this spot in the future if an org that does not have strong funding comes in, and this would be at the detriment of the players, the org, and of course the fans. We give some of our thoughts and solutions to this issue, and what we think is most important for orgs to be focusing on in order to help their brand and players. Finally, we close with some talk regarding our BO7 matches, and the continued issues that we have seen regarding the matchmaking. What do you think of the potential Boston Breach spot being sold to a new org? Do you think that whoever comes in next will succeed, or will it be a revolving door of bottom teams that struggle? Do you agree with our thoughts on the best path for these teams with smaller budgets to follow to achieve some traction? What do you think is the best strategy for these teams to follow to have success? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

On this Brake Check Vacation Special, host Charles Gracey runs back two of the most critical regulatory, legal, and safety compliance conversations facing the trucking industry today. First, Brandon Wiseman and Rob Carpenter from Trucksafe join the show to break down what FMCSA's new MODUS registration system actually means for carriers and brokers. They dive into the legal fallout of recent Supreme Court rulings, discuss what's inside the massive new Highway Bill proposal (including controversial hair follicle testing provisions), and tackle the question: Are small fleets being regulated out of existence? Then, Sam Watts (Director of Safety & Loss Control at 10-4 Truck Insurance) joins to separate real fleet safety culture from "safety theater". Sam shares hard truths about driver pay structures, continuous CDL monitoring, fighting nuclear verdicts, and how carriers can protect their bottom line before a single crash happens. ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

A mother lost her son on I-74 to a crash that never had to happen. The technology to prevent it already existed. The trucking company just didn't install it.In this episode of After the Crash, David Craig talks with Celeste Bowens-Martin, a professional bus driver with a CDL and someone he has represented over the years. In March of 2025, Celeste's oldest son, Isaiah, 35, was killed on I-74 while driving home to Indianapolis from Illinois. His car had crossed the median and come to a complete stop in the opposite lane of travel. A 2024 Freightliner struck him. That truck could have been equipped with crash avoidance technology, sensors, cameras, and active braking that detect a stationary object and stop the truck when a driver doesn't react. It wasn't. Celeste, who has relied on that same safety technology to avoid crashes in her own bus, joins David to explain why she is now committed to advocating for change.✔️ How collision avoidance and automatic emergency braking systems actually detect stationary vehicles✔️ Why a 2024 Freightliner may still leave the lot without crash avoidance technology installed✔️ The real cost of adding these systems: a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per truck✔️ How safety sensors can be unplugged or left off, and why inspections matter✔️ A professional CDL driver's firsthand account of technology saving her from crashes✔️ Why families deserve answers when a preventable crash takes someone they loveDavid Craig is one of the few attorneys in the U.S. who is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and accredited by the American Bar Association. That means he meets rigorous experience, ethics, and knowledge standards to hold trucking companies and unsafe drivers accountable. With 39+ years handling semi-truck wreck cases, David has seen how corporate decisions to cut costs on safety equipment can change families forever.This episode carries the weight of a grieving mother's loss. Celeste shares who Isaiah was, a gamer, a collector, her travel buddy, her day one, and how she is turning that grief into a mission so that no other family has to sit where she sits now.

In "The Fictitious Pickup Boom: How Fake Drivers Steal Freight", Joe Lynch speaks with Chief Operating Officer at IDScan.net, Jillian Kossman, about how modern fraudsters use fake CDLs to execute fictitious pickups—and how automated identity verification at the gate can stop them.

Key Takeaways: The Fictitious Pickup Boom: How Fake Drivers Steal Freight In "The Fictitious Pickup Boom: How Fake Drivers Steal Freight", Joe Lynch speaks with Chief Operating Officer at IDScan.net, Jillian Kossman, about how modern fraudsters use fake CDLs to execute fictitious pickups—and how automated identity verification at the gate can stop them. Cargo Theft Has Evolved from Physical Hijacking to Digital Fraud: Cargo theft is no longer defined by armed robberies or physical break-ins like in decades past. Today's threat landscape relies on organized digital impersonation, synthetic identities, and illegitimate credentials—making cybersecurity and physical cargo security completely interdependent at the point of pickup. The Non-Domiciled CDL Crackdown is Driving Fake ID Demand: Strict federal enforcement and regulatory changes have led to many drivers losing their valid non-domiciled Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs). Unwilling to walk away from high-paying haul opportunities, many of these drivers are turning to fake IDs sourced from the dark web, triggering a massive surge in fictitious pickups across the logistics industry. Visual Gate Inspections Are No Longer Sufficient: Modern counterfeit CDLs feature accurate window panes, microprinting, holograms, and realistic barcode structures that are virtually impossible for gate guards or dock workers to catch visually. Effective fraud prevention requires forensic-level automated scanning that checks physical and digital security features against thousands of global document templates in seconds. Rapid ID Parsing Eliminates Yard Bottlenecks and Human Error: Manual check-in workflows—like handwriting details on paper clipboards or taking unencrypted smartphone photos—cause long yard queues and introduce human error. Automated driver intake via kiosks or guard-shack scanners processes credentials in under 15 seconds, instantly populating accurate driver data into the TMS, WMS, or YMS. Remote Biometric Verification Neutralizes Double-Brokering Risks: Fictitious pickups often rely on dispatching unvetted or impersonated drivers. By deploying remote identity verification (such as IDScan.net's DIVE platform) via SMS prior to arrival, freight brokers and 3PLs can cross-reference live facial biometrics against the CDL photo and dispatch records to ensure the correct driver is at the wheel. Encrypted Digital Audits Replace Vulnerable Paper Logs: Relying on paper sign-in sheets leaves operations exposed during CTPAT/AEO security audits or law enforcement investigations. Automated, cloud-based ID scanning creates a time-stamped, searchable, and encrypted chain-of-custody record (capturing driver IDs, entry/exit timestamps, and truck photos) while protecting sensitive driver PII. Instant Watchlist Cross-Referencing Blocks Unauthorized Access: Physical security gate checks need real-time, automated defense against blacklisted or prohibited drivers. Point-of-scan verification instantly matches scanned driver credentials against internal "do not admit" (BOLO) lists, expired license databases, and government sanction watchlists (such as OFAC), stopping unauthorized entry before a trailer is ever loaded.

And as we talk through their feelings, I'm noticing that everyone is saying the same thing. This fear didn't come from them; someone told them to be afraid of being seen.  Now, it's not always in those words. But if you were being told that calladita te ves mas bonita as a kid, you're going to remember that during a brainstorming meeting at work and keep your ideas to yourself. And the blame for that is not necessarily on our parents - the blame is on the culture that perpetuates misogyny in our everyday lives. It's time to let go of what doesn't work for us and start taking our voices back.  In this week's episode, we're talking about the fear of being seen and how it isn't insecurity - it's cultural conditioning. I don't think that you're actually insecure; I think you're holding on to cultural values that are detrimental to the badass chingona you're trying to become. Let's talk about why these values don't work for us, and how to let them go so that you can live your most amazing life! Resources Mentioned: Click here to claim your Manifest Your Marca bot!

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a massive escalation in the U.S.-Canada trade fight as President Trump announced sweeping fifty percent tariffs on roughly twenty billion dollars worth of Canadian imports scheduled to take effect in thirty days. Using an obscure authority from the Tariff Act of 1930, the new duties will apply even to goods that qualify under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, prompting Ontario's premier to demand reciprocal measures if the tariffs take effect. Next, we explore a high-stakes legal battle heading for oral arguments this fall as federal agencies prepare to defend the FMCSA's controversial restrictions on non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses in the D.C. Court of Appeals on September 15. Petitioners argue the February rule will render ineligible ninety-seven percent of noncitizens who currently hold a CDL, broadly prohibiting asylum seekers, refugees, and DACA recipients from obtaining licenses even though they are legally authorized to work in the United States. Finally, we cover a new threat to a critical shipping corridor as Houthi rebels in Yemen declared a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia at the Bab al-Mandab Strait at the southern end of the Red Sea. This escalation comes just as major container carriers had recently announced a return of scheduled services to the key route connecting Asia with Europe and North America, raising the risk of wider disruption in a region that is strategically vital for global energy exports and maritime traffic.

Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael Pahira Jr. was tragically killed by an illegal alien truck driver — a preventable tragedy that exposes a massive, deadly problem on America's highways. Why is the GOP refusing to act? I'm joined by Shannon Everett, co-founder of American Truckers United, to expose the horrifying reality of the non-domiciled CDL crisis. Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are currently driving 80,000-pound commercial trucks across the country, exploiting freight brokers, setting up "No Name" LLCs, and replacing American workers under the USMCA. Despite a clear mandate, federal bills like Dalilah's Law are stalled and red states are failing to revoke reciprocity for these illicit licenses. Everett breaks down the exact federal and state action items needed to get illegal alien truck drivers off the roads immediately and restore safety to our highways.  Why is the easiest immigration problem to solve still being ignored?
