Voice Of GO(r)D is happy to bring you a long overdue interview with Craig Fuller, founder and CEO of freight industry news website FreightWaves, as well as the freight data analytics tool SONAR and Firecrown Media empire. FreightWaves has been of great service to the industry, and employed some of the finest journalists working on trucking, including former guests of this show Rachel Premack and Clarissa Hawes, as well as my pals Dooner and Supertrucker and so many other great people dedicated to Making Trucking Great Again.Craig fills us in on his family history in trucking, including his Dad and Uncle at the US Express and Covenant Transport companies, the origin story of FreightWaves, current topics in trucking, and, of course, our favorite people in the world, the American Trucking Association.(sarc) Craig had a bomb lobbed at him by Chris Spear the other day, and Craig has returned fire in kind, which lead me to having to bump this interview up in the schedule; this was recorded two weeks ago before the ATA started up their shit.The Return Fire has been beautiful to watch - head on over to my Substack for screenshotshttps://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/a-chat-with-freightwaves-ceo-craigTypically I try not to get involved in other people's fights but Craig has been nothing but good to me and I think in his heart is trying to do right by truckers; Chris Spear and the ATA, on the other hand, are corporate lobbyists whose grip on media narratives around trucking, and the taxpayer loot they extract from us for their members, are one of the primary causes of trucking being in the utter mess that its in, so to hell with them.You can read more from Craig himself here -https://www.freightwaves.com/news/the-atas-waning-influence-irks-its-leaderAnd while you are there, have a look around FreightWaves site, the reporting is excellent, and they have so many great people there, including Dooner, JP Hampstead, John Kingston, and Grace Sharkey, amongst others.Craig's TwitterCraig and I are both writing books at the moment - his is done, and will be out in November, mine is getting there and will be out in March.https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorIf you want to help see me through to the end -https://www.givesendgo.com/EndOfTheRoadQuestions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are always welcome and strongly encouraged!gordilocks@protonmail.com

Send us a textThis week This Is Vinyl Tap discusses the criminally underrated album by Pure Prairie League, 1972's Bustin' Out. Bustin' Out contains the band's most well known song, "Aime," a radio staple for the last 50 years. Oddly, while even the most casual of music listeners know the song, many would be hard pressed to name the band that performs it. As a result, Bustin' Out has been somewhat ignored, which is a shame, because it is a fantastic collection of country infused rock songs. The album's secret weapon is David Bowie's guitarist Mick Ronson, who provides string arrangements and, some (uncredited) scorching guitar. While the band did move away from the rawer sound of their debut on Bustin' Out, the album is bit more mature and undeniably full of expert playing and fine, soulful vocals by front-man Craig Fuller that makes its influence on the alternative country bands of the early 1990's very apparent.

On Episode 790 of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Dooner is talking about 179,000 truck drivers whose CDLs were revoked. In late November, those drivers were automatically placed in prohibited status. What does it mean for capacity, and how do drivers get back into return-to-duty status? Innovative Logistics Group's Adam Wingfield breaks it all down. Federal regulators have issued a long-awaited proposed rule in response to allegations of fraud in the rate-making process raised by owner-operators against truck brokers. Is broker transparency all it is cracked up to be? Wingfield weighs in. Last month, FreightWaves' Craig Fuller and RXO both said the freight recession is over and that we've entered a new truckload cycle. Today, SONAR's Tony Mulvey separates the chaff from the wheat as he presents the latest market data. Plus, Martin Shkreli vs. Matt Silver; Christmas lights on semi; odds of an International Longshoremen's Association port strike; shady hot shot truckers; and more.
