While the Port of Long Beach saw container volumes drop significantly—imports declined 17.6% and total TEUs fell 14.9% in October 2025 compared to the previous year's record-setting month—the hub remains ahead of its 2024 all-time annual cargo record pace through the first 10 months of 2025. Port officials are anticipating that American consumers will likely see ⁠price escalation⁠ on goods in the coming months as shippers are expected to pass along the costs of ongoing tariffs and trade policies. In trucking, a major regulatory shift has been halted as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ⁠temporarily stayed the FMCSA's interim final rule⁠ heavily restricting non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses. This administrative stay, ordered pending a review of a lawsuit filed by an affected driver, means state agencies can presumably resume issuing and renewing these non-domiciled CDLs. Truckload carrier Werner Enterprises stated at an investor conference that it has hit a baseline capacity and sees "no retreat" from its current dedicated fleet size, despite calling the current downcycle the worst he has seen in 35 years in the industry. Werner's CEO asserted that the duration of the downturn and rising trucking accident rates across the industry may be linked to ⁠lower standards on CDL issuance and driver schools⁠, which have contributed to excess capacity.

The Great Freight Recession continues its relentless purge in the carrier sector, claiming Illinois-based VIB Trans, a 29-truck carrier, as the ⁠latest casualty to file for Chapter 11 amid deeply depressed spot rates and relentlessly high operating costs⁠. This pain is accelerating due to an 18% drop in freight volumes coupled with immense overcapacity, driven by 310,000 new trucks and 200,000 new CDLs added to the system since 2019. Strategic experts are anticipating the ⁠Largest capacity purge in history coming⁠ as new regulations tighten enforcement around non-domiciled CDLs and ELP requirements. This regulatory squeeze could eliminate up to 600,000 active drivers from the system, potentially leading to sharp volatility spikes and market rationalization that ultimately benefits surviving carriers with higher pay and increased freight rates. While carriers fight for survival, the brokerage world is thriving, ⁠C.H. Robinson again is strong, and Wall Street throws roses⁠ after the company posted extremely strong third-quarter performance, including a 22.6% increase in income from operations. C.H. Robinson's core North American Surface Transport segment successfully grew combined truckload and LTL volume by 3%, demonstrating significant market share growth against a declining industry benchmark. In strategic updates, ⁠UPS is reversing its costly insourcing strategy for low-budget shipments⁠, tentatively agreeing to UPS, Postal Service to reunite for delivery of low-budget shipments via the USPS last-mile network. This reversal acknowledges that UPS's internal cost structure struggled to compete, especially after Ground Saver volume plummeted nearly 33% year-over-year. Internationally, the U.S. and China suspended ⁠punitive reciprocal fees on docking ships for one year amid trade talks⁠, which were originally imposed to revive U.S. shipbuilding. Plus, we cover immediate executive changes at CSX as CEO Steve Angel switches up leadership, ⁠naming Kevin Boone CFO and promoting Mary Clare Kenny to Chief Commercial Officer⁠.

The freight market is at a "pivotal moment" as shifting industry narratives meet long-overdue regulatory action and the harsh realities of a capacity glut. Hear how the ATA executed a stunning tactical retreat on their decades-long "truck driver shortage" claim, now admitting the problem is a "shortage of quality drivers" rather than quantity. This retreat coincides with federal regulators moving to fix a self-created crisis: the DOT issued an emergency rule restricting non-domiciled CDLs that were improperly granted to at least 200,000 non-U.S. residents since March 2019. This massive influx of drivers fueled the "Great Freight Recession," yet real inflation-adjusted truck driver wages have only increased minimally since 2010. We examine the brutal financial impact of overcapacity, including Pamt Corp.'s fourth consecutive quarterly net loss and its unsustainable 106.7% adjusted operating ratio for its truckload unit. Conversely, Landstar System's mixed results showed strong flatbed trends and the first sequential increase in its exclusive carrier base since 2022, potentially signaling a slow market turn as regulatory changes threaten to remove 200,000 owner-operators from the pool.

DAT, a subsidiary of Roper Technologies, is evolving into an automated, AI-powered freight marketplace, a transformation discussed by executives at the FreightWaves F3 and on the Roper earnings call. This strategic shift is predicated on a series of key acquisitions, including the Convoy tech stack, Trucker Tools, and Outgo, which aim to build capabilities across the entire freight automation workflow, promising savings of $100–$200 per load.  We dive into the immediate crisis caused by federal attempts to restrict non-domiciled CDLs, a pool that has added over 200,000 licenses since 2019, contributing to the "Great Freight Recession". The U.S. Postal Service's sudden ban on these drivers led to immediate, severe service disruptions and a rapid reversal, highlighting the supply chain's critical reliance on this driver segment.  The program features an update on Union Pacific's aggressive campaign to secure approval for its $85 billion acquisition of Norfolk Southern, a merger that would create the first U.S. transcontinental freight railroad. This campaign includes strategic political maneuvering, such as a donation to President Trump's White House ballroom project and securing job guarantee backing from its largest labor union. In air cargo news, we cover Kalitta Air's deployment of the first-ever Boeing 777 converted freighters, dubbed the "Big Twin," for dedicated customers like DHL Express and Challenge Group, leveraging their increased volume and fuel efficiency. Finally, we examine Marten Transport's third-quarter earnings, which saw overall profitability maintained despite a loss in the Truckload segment, and discuss how the U.S. reached a trade framework with China even while tensions flared with Canada over a new 10% tariff increase.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Need-to-Know Morning Show on Monday covers a range of intense topics, starting with the immediate effects of the ongoing government shutdown, which is now the second longest in U.S. history. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy details the stress on air traffic controllers and warns of increasing flight delays and cancellations as a direct result of the standoff. The core issue, Duffy states, is the Democrats' alleged push for $1.5 trillion for healthcare for illegal aliens. The show turns to devastating weather news as Hurricane Melissa, now a Category 5, tracks for a catastrophic, slow-moving hit on Jamaica. The island is expected to see up to 40 inches of rain and a 9 to 13-foot storm surge.     Politics, Crime, and Survival In a deep dive into politics and crime, the show features a segment with investigative journalist Miranda Devine on the "Cocaine at 1600" Fox Nation special. Devine discusses the suspicious destruction of evidence within 11 days related to the bag of cocaine found in the White House. She reports that Secret Service sources indicate a partial match to someone in the White House was found through DNA analysis. This has led to the FBI and Kash Patel reopening the case.   Transportation Secretary Duffy also weighs in on a key legal battle, threatening to strip California of its ability to issue commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) because the state unlawfully issued over 60,000 licenses to foreigners. The host and his co-hosts also have a segment on the general state of the Democratic Party, asking, "What are they for?" and pointing out that their efforts, such as the fight for illegal immigrants to have Obamacare subsidies, are "loser leverage".     Personal Preparedness Health and wellness expert Mariah Prussia stops in to discuss her recent intense "mountain readiness" survival training in North Carolina. She recounts learning tactical preparedness, including how to pick handcuffs, night vision driving, and recognizing that preparedness is essential because it's not a question of "if" but "when" a serious situation will arise. Travel agent Cindy also checks in, giving an update on the travel chaos due to the shutdown and offering a great all-inclusive deal to Cozumel.     Timestamps for Standout Moments 0:08:44 - Dean Wysocki details the catastrophic forecast for Hurricane Melissa hitting Jamaica. 0:17:15 - Sean Duffy, Transportation Secretary, warns of severe air travel disruptions due to the government shutdown. 0:22:56 - Duffy…

From deadly semi-truck crashes caused by illegal immigrant drivers with improperly issued CDLs in California to the horrifying cartel crimes of La Diablo, Tara dives into the shocking consequences of federal and state policies under Biden and Newsom. The episode also examines the rise of extremist figures within the Democratic Party, including candidates openly embracing violent or Nazi-linked imagery, and what this signals about political radicalization. With hidden-camera insights, federal audits, and national security intelligence, Tara unpacks how lawlessness — both on American highways and within political circles — is escalating with deadly results.

A deadly semi-truck crash puts a spotlight on California's controversial policies — and this episode peels back the chain of decisions that may have helped create it. The host walks listeners through the horrifying dashcam footage of a rig plowing into stopped cars, the criminal charges against the driver, and a federal audit that reportedly found 62,000 commercial driver's licenses issued to people without permanent legal status. We investigate claims that state policies are skipping federally required Level 1 inspections, allowing non-English speakers to pass through safety checks, and how work-permit and sanctuary rules may be enabling dangerous drivers to get behind the wheel. Interviews, audio clips, and a conversation about accountability, liability, and public safety round out this urgent episode.

On this Salcedo Storm Podcast:Chris unloads on Democrats whose policies are compromising national security and literally killing our people. Sean gets out of the house and discovers cool, free stuff to do!

California's infinite wisdom strikes again! They've handed out 62,000 commercial driver's licenses to people whose legal status couldn't be verified – because nothing says "road safety" like putting someone behind an 18-wheeler when you don't know if they're here legally, speak English, or can even read a stop sign. What could go wrong?We dive into the deadly consequences of sanctuary state policies gone wild, from drug-addled drivers plowing through multiple vehicles to truckers who only speak Mandarin navigating American highways. Meanwhile, Governor Newsom sees "no problem here" as families bury their loved ones and Florida sues California and Washington over their reckless CDL policies.How did we get to the point where following basic federal licensing requirements became optional? Why are states prioritizing virtue signaling over public safety? And when will politicians be held accountable for policies that literally get people killed?This is what happens when ideology trumps common sense and taxpayer safety takes a backseat to sanctuary city politics. The wheels are coming off, folks.

On this episode of ABL Live, we're talking the NBA gambling scandal which could rock all of sports and the sports betting industry down to the core, President Trump's $250 million ballroom concept images revealed, Kamala Harris hinting at running for President again in 2028, a federal audit that says California has issued 62,000 CDLs to illegal aliens, and much more!

What if Daniel 11 wasn't just history—what if it's a template for what's unfolding right now?A figure who exalts himself above every god, desecrates the sacred, wages war against nations, and operates with unprecedented arrogance and power (Daniel 11:36–45). Many scholars and prophecy teachers identify this transition as a prophetic unveiling of the Antichrist and the final global conflict.This passage raises urgent questions for the present age:Do modern geopolitical tensions reflect the patterns outlined in Daniel 11:36–45? Are current global alliances and hostility toward Israel foreshadowed in this prophetic text? Is the world approaching the threshold of Daniel 12 — “a time of distress such as never has occurred”?The final movements of Daniel 11 reveal a roadmap of spiritual rebellion, political upheaval, Middle Eastern conflict, and the rise of a final world ruler. These verses stand at the intersection of ancient prophecy and unfolding history, inviting serious reflection on whether the world is beginning to mirror the events Scripture foresaw.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We begin with the domestic "Compliance Crunch," a sudden and significant contraction in US trucking capacity driven by intensified immigration enforcement actions causing non-citizen drivers to exit the market, independent of demand. This rapid capacity disappearance resulted in a noticeable -6.7% decrease in unique US DOT numbers between September and October 2025, leading to intense regional volatility where spot rates in places like Gary, Indiana, skyrocketed up to 42%. The squeeze gets tighter in drayage, as ocean carriers and ports strictly enforce accessorial charges to maintain revenue, shifting higher storage and waiting costs to shippers, compounded by new rules restricting non-domiciled CDLs. Globally, we detail the major turbulence brewing over maritime carbon regulation, following the US administration's forceful rejection of the International Maritime Organization's proposed Net-Zero Framework. The US administration labeled the NZF a "European-led neocolonial export" and threatened severe retaliatory measures, including blocking vessels from US ports and imposing extra fees, warning that the global carbon tax could hike shipping costs by 10% or more. Amid this volatility, supply chain leaders must leverage technology that drives actionable resilience and prediction, moving beyond mere visibility dashboards that only show chaos after it happens. AI-powered procurement platforms like Arkestro are helping teams shift from costly, reactive compliance to proactive, predictive sourcing, which can cut sourcing time by 60% to 90% by predicting negotiation outcomes and streamlining bids. On the ground, collaboration platforms such as C3 Hive are becoming the essential connective environment, sitting between a company's transportation, warehouse, and yard management systems to synchronize information and actions across the supply chain. Customers typically report a 90% drop in just calls and emails within two weeks of deployment, proving this action-oriented tech is replacing the phone as the messy integration layer. Finally, we look inside the warehouse walls, where intelligence platforms are rapidly advancing, highlighted by Dexory securing $165 million in funding to accelerate its AI-powered warehouse intelligence platform. Dexory uses autonomous mobile robots that scan over 10,000 locations per hour, creating a real-time digital twin of the warehouse, which speeds up the shift to truly adaptive, self-learning warehouses.

The US administration labeled the NZF a "European-led neocolonial export" and threatened severe retaliatory measures, including blocking vessels from US ports and imposing extra fees, warning that the global carbon tax could hike shipping costs by 10% or more. Amid this volatility, supply chain leaders must leverage technology that drives actionable resilience and prediction, moving beyond mere visibility dashboards that only show chaos after it happens. AI-powered procurement platforms like Arkestro are helping teams shift from costly, reactive compliance to proactive, predictive sourcing, which can cut sourcing time by 60% to 90% by predicting negotiation outcomes and streamlining bids. On the ground, collaboration platforms such as C3 Hive are becoming the essential connective environment, sitting between a company's transportation, warehouse, and yard management systems to synchronize information and actions across the supply chain. Customers typically report a 90% drop in just calls and emails within two weeks of deployment, proving this action-oriented tech is replacing the phone as the messy integration layer. Finally, we look inside the warehouse walls, where intelligence platforms are rapidly advancing, highlighted by Dexory securing $165 million in funding to accelerate its AI-powered warehouse intelligence platform. Dexory uses autonomous mobile robots that scan over 10,000 locations per hour, creating a real-time digital twin of the warehouse, which speeds up the shift to truly adaptive, self-learning warehouses.

President Donald Trump's expansion of tariffs, which includes a new ⁠25% duty on imported medium and heavy-duty trucks⁠ is set to begin November 1st. This decision follows a federal probe under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act and is aimed at protecting U.S. manufacturers like Peterbilt and Kenworth. The broadcast also covers the escalating labor situation at Canada Post, which has presented a scaled-back offer to ⁠50,000 striking mail carriers⁠ that increases the likelihood of job cuts. The company's proposed collective bargaining agreement no longer includes a signing bonus due to its deteriorating financial position and plans to eliminate lifetime job security provisions for urban unit employees. Furthermore, the U.S. Department of Transportation has issued an emergency federal order leading to ⁠California and Oregon suspending the issuance of non-domiciled CDLs⁠. This crackdown follows an FMCSA audit that found widespread non-compliance, including that more than 25% of California's non-domiciled CDLs were improperly issued.

The U.S. Department of Transportation issued an emergency order on September 26th mandating that states immediately stop issuing or renewing non-domiciled commercial learner's permits and CDLs, targeting licenses often held long after their legal authorization to be in the U.S. had expired. This crackdown follows a nationwide Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration audit that linked at least five fatal crashes this year to improperly issued licenses. Industry analysis predicts a significant surge in bankruptcies especially among small and mid-size carriers who built their business models on skirting the law by using non-compliant labor willing to run severe hours-of-service violations. Capacity issues are also global, as ongoing geopolitical uncertainty keeps ocean carriers away from the critical Suez Canal choke point. Maersk's CEO, Vincent Clerc, stated that shipping firms are unlikely to return until security is “reliably restored” due to unacceptably high risks to crews and vessels. This continued rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope has caused container revenue for the Suez Canal Authority to plummet by as much as 60%, locking in elevated costs and longer transit times across the entire global supply chain. Connecting these domestic compliance costs and global operational headwinds, Werner CEO Derek Leathers recently characterized freight rates as "stably horrible" for years in the address, noting that potential tariffs on Class 8 trucks made in Mexico could further inflate equipment costs and cap future capacity. Ultimately, this market reset is being structurally guaranteed not by a sudden demand boom, but by the simultaneous removal of illegal low-cost capacity domestically and persistent geopolitical risk that maintains a high operational cost ceiling globally.

No news has been bigger in trucking this year than the DOT's announcement Friday, September 26, of changes to the rules around non-domiciled CDL issuance, effective now: https://www.overdriveonline.com/regulations/article/15767991/fmcsa-to-force-nearly-200k-nondomiciled-cdl-holders-out-of-trucking New restrictions on issuance hold potential to limit foreign-domiciled CDL drivers' ability to work OTR in the U.S. The influx of asylum seekers into the country in recent years has meant a lot of those asylum seekers ended up getting those non-domiciled CDLs. Going forward, they won't, unless they have an employer-sponsored visa for temporary work in the United States. The same day DOT announced the changes, likewise initial results from its ongoing audit of state CDL programs around non-domciled CDL issuance, our own Matt Cole was out at the Guilty by Association Truck Show in Joplin, Missouri, where he reported from a sort of listening session hosted at the event by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and featuring questions and commentary from owner-operators in attendance. Responses came from FMCSA's own Senior Policy Advisor Michael Hampton. This week's episode features a good near-hour's worth of audio from the session, and applause lines weren't hard to come by -- rare for a regulatory session, that's certain. One came fairly early on in response to a commenting owner-operator's contention that, as was noted by many Overdrive readers earlier this year, maybe a non-domiciled CDL shouldn't even exist, particularly as an option for a non-immigrant in the country with temporary status: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15747114 Perhaps the biggest applause line, though, came when FMCSA's own Michael Hampton contended that more hours of service flexibility would result in better safety, as the agency readies two studies of flexibility enhancements we highlighted two weeks back here on the podcast: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15755974 Hampton urged truckers to participate in those studies when they get rolling -- the agency will need data to help it get further changes to the split-sleeper rules, and/or a 14-hour clock pause button, across the finish line in future. Participation's going to be paramount to analyzing safety impacts and, with any luck, truly showing that Hampton in his contention is in fact correct. As also mentioned in the podcast: **Big congrats to Overdrive's four 2025 Small Fleet Champ finalists!

Voice Of GO(r)D brings you two trucking industry researchers in discussion on a hot topic today that is now being discussed in the wider media, downstream of a major enforcement action in Oklahoma. Danielle Chaffin returns for her third appearance on the show along with Miranda from the very popular and informative Trucking Made Successful YouTube channel, and we dive in to the question of how random migrants from around the world are showing up in America and various states are issuing them CDLs with very little in the way of any identification, verification, or possibility of accountability should anything go wrong.There is a lot to say about this topic, and more details that won't fit into Spotify's show description character limit, so please head over to my Substack to check out the rest - https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/no-name-given-on-the-fraudulent-issueYou can go follow Danielle on Twitter/X - https://x.com/maybedanielleee and, if you want, NerdIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maybedanielleee/ and her Substack is great, too - https://www.highwayveritas.com/You can find Miranda's awesome YouTube Channel here - https://www.youtube.com/@TruckingMadeSuccessful and on Twitter/X - https://x.com/TMSuccessfulIn other news - my book is complete!

Today's daily update tackles extreme market volatility, starting with the unprecedented regulatory about-face by the California Air Resources Board. ⁠CARB has essentially wiped out the two biggest components of their Advanced Clean Fleets rule⁠, including the High Priority Fleets regulation covering fleets over 50 trucks and rules that were set to bar non-ZEV trucks from port operations. We analyze the looming threat of a federal shutdown,⁠ noting that while essential safety functions like FMCSA roadside inspections and CBP cargo inspections are expected to continue⁠, critical oversight functions will largely cease. Agencies like the Federal Maritime Commission and the Surface Transportation Board, which handles shipping disputes and vital transportation data, will suspend case processing, potentially ⁠leading to increased dwell times at major ports like LA-Long Beach⁠. Moving to efficiency gains, we examine how ⁠AI startup Oatway is tackling the “dirty secret of full truckload”⁠—partially filled trailers—by dynamically matching partial shipments with empty capacity on existing FTL run. This innovation optimizes existing infrastructure using machine learning and ELD data, potentially boosting net annual revenue for carriers by up to 30% while cutting shipper costs by up to 50% compared to traditional LTL. In corporate news, Interstate Personnel Services , the parent company of Paschall Truck Lines, is in⁠ formal talks to acquire J&R Sugar Trucking⁠, which would create a combined fleet of around 2,000 trucks and 5,000 trailers. This merger strategically adds temperature-controlled refrigerated transport capacity to IPS's existing dry van network, highlighting the current premium placed on reefer capacity. Finally, Texas has ⁠halted the issuance of Commercial Driver's Licenses to non-citizens⁠, including DACA recipients and refugees, following a federal directive aimed at tightening commercial licensing rules. Since 2015, Texas has issued almost 52,000 non-domiciled CDLs, and this regulatory move presents an immediate challenge for fleet staffing and recruitment efforts across the state.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's crime crackdown expanding beyond Washington, the partisan redistricting war over control of the House, and a major immigration roundup exposing the dangers of open borders. From Baltimore and Chicago to Maryland and the southern border, today's brief shows how law, politics, and security collide in the fight for America's future. Trump Expands Crime Crackdown to Chicago and Baltimore: Over 900 arrests have already been made in Washington, half tied to immigration offenses, and Trump promises deployments next in Chicago and Baltimore. Chicago's socialist mayor Brandon Johnson warned his supporters would “rise up” against Trump, while Maryland's Governor Wes Moore invited Trump to walk Baltimore's streets with him. Trump shot back, “I assume he is talking about the out of control, crime ridden, Baltimore? As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a walk.” Redistricting War and the Future of the Republic: Democrats in Maryland, California, and other blue states push gerrymandering to erase GOP seats, while Republicans in Texas, Florida, and Ohio counter with maps to expand theirs. Experts warn of decades of GOP dominance if trends continue, but as one listener asked, is this a sign America is dying? Bryan argues the Republic envisioned by the Founders “has been dead for over 100 years” and that today's fight amounts to a new civil war of ideas between open-borders leftists and Americans who still cherish the nation's founding principles. Immigration Roundup — Truckers, Deportations, Detention, and Border Security: Trump halts visas for foreign truck drivers after deadly accidents, reversing an Obama-era rule that allowed CDLs without English proficiency. El Salvadoran gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia faces deportation to Uganda after Democrat judges forced his return to the U.S., a case his lawyers call “cruel and bigoted.” ICE detentions hit a record 60,000 with Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan vowing, “We're going to build 100,000 beds… they may slow us up a bit, but they're not going to stop us.” And at the border, a Chinese woman caught with child pornography on her phone highlights why Bryan warns, “Cases like pedophiles or child pornographers should be a slam dunk — they all go back home.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump DC crime crackdown, Chicago National Guard deployment, Baltimore crime Trump Wes Moore, Brandon Johnson rise up quote, U.S. redistricting war 2025, GOP gerrymandering Texas Florida Ohio, Democrat gerrymandering California Maryland, foreign truck driver visa ban, Obama CDL English rule, Kilmar Abrego Garcia deportation Uganda, ICE detention record 60,000, Tom Homan 100,000 beds quote, Alligator Alcatraz detention Florida, Chinese illegal immigrant child pornography Texas
