In this highly anticipated live studio episode of Freight Expectations, hosts Matt and Craig sit down in Chattanooga with a massive figure in the trucking world: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Administrator Derek Barrs! Known for his hands-on leadership style and deep respect for the trucking community, Administrator Barrs joins the show to discuss his personal “why” behind commercial vehicle enforcement and the aggressive steps his administration is taking to reform the industry. From a major enforcement crackdown to leveraging cutting-edge tech, this episode dives deep into how the FMCSA plans to enhance safety, protect legitimate drivers, and root out fraud. We tackle the hot-button issues facing supply chains today, including the newly rolled-out Modus registration system, which Barrs notes will effectively “close the front door” on chameleon carriers and bad actors through strict identity verification. We also break down the ongoing crackdowns on English language proficiency standards, self-certified ELDs, and the shocking data behind International Road Check Week out-of-service rates. If you have diesel in your blood, you cannot afford to miss this incredibly transparent, deep-dive interview with the man regulating our nation's highways.

In this episode, we kick things off with a massive compliance crackdown hitting the trucking industry, as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration added twelve electronic logging devices to the revoked list in the largest single-day event since May 2025. All twelve failed to meet minimum technical requirements, bringing the total to seventy-nine devices removed since January 2025 at an aggressive pace of nearly five per month. If you're running any of these devices, you have until July 20th to replace them with a compliant ELD or face citations and out-of-service violations. Over in the ocean shipping sector, we explore how ZIM Integrated Shipping Services posted a net loss of $86 million in the first quarter, a massive reversal from $296 million in net income one year earlier. The Israeli liner, set to be acquired by Germany's Hapag-Lloyd, saw revenues slump 30 percent to $1.4 billion as its average freight rate per TEU crashed 26 percent to just $1,310, reflecting a softer freight rate environment and weaker demand. Finally, we cover the evolving world of fleet technology as Fleetworthy unveiled three major platform enhancements at its Customer Roadshow event in Austin, including a unified cross-platform login, Centralized Vehicle Management, and the debut of the FleetworthyGO mobile app. These upgrades create a single source of truth for vehicle information across Fleetworthy's various products, allowing fleets to manage compliance, toll management, permitting, and weigh station bypass activities from one centralized platform.

Everybody wants somebody to blame. Brokers. ELDs. Immigration. Mega carriers. The government. The spot market. But what if the problems facing trucking today go much deeper than social media talking points? In this episode of The Long Haul Podcast, Adam sits down with Stephen Ruhe — third-generation trucking operator, Navy veteran, brokerage leader, and trucking history enthusiast — to break down how outdated regulations, industry evolution, and a lack of accountability continue shaping modern trucking today. This conversation dives into: Why modern trucking problems didn't start in 1980 How old regulations still impact carriers today Why social media oversimplifies complex industry issues The relationship between brokers and carriers Why relationships still matter more than technology And why small carriers fail when they spend more time blaming than adapting This episode isn't about nostalgia. It's about understanding how we got here. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In "Why GenLogs is Critical for the Next Generation of Supply Chain" Joe Lynch and Danielle Spinelli, Director of Partnerships at GenLogs, discuss how visual truck intelligence provides a physical "truth layer" to combat cargo theft and verify carrier capacity. About Danielle Spinelli  Danielle Spinelli is the Director of Partnerships at Genlogs with over a decade of experience in logistics, carrier vetting, and cargo theft prevention. She also hosts the Tell Me Everything podcast, sharing insights on freight fraud, logistics trends, and supply chain security. About GenLogs  GenLogs is the Truck Intelligence™ platform that uses AI across a nationwide network of roadside sensors, satellites, and proprietary datasets to track all U.S. commercial vehicle patterns and drive better business outcomes across trucking, logistics, insurance, real estate, finance, and government. Key Takeaways: Why GenLogs is Critical for the Next Generation of Supply Chain In "Why GenLogs is Critical for the Next Generation of Supply Chain" Joe Lynch and Danielle Spinelli, Director of Partnerships at GenLogs, discuss how visual truck intelligence provides a physical "truth layer" to combat cargo theft and verify carrier capacity. The Power of a "Physical Footprint": While the industry has long relied on a digital footprint (ELDs and self-reported data) for carrier vetting, GenLogs introduces a "truth layer" through a physical footprint. By capturing 15 million images daily, they provide visual proof of a carrier's actual activity versus what is reported on paper. Combatting "Chameleon Carriers": The interview highlights the danger of chameleon carriers—entities that frequently change MC numbers or swap magnetic placards to hide poor safety records or involvement in fraud. GenLogs' network can track a single truck as it operates under multiple identities, flagging suspicious behavior. * The "Ring Camera" for Highways: Danielle describes the GenLogs network as a "Ring for the highways." With specialized "Trident" cameras deployed across major U.S. interstates, the platform achieves a 98% carrier sighting rate, providing massive visibility into commercial vehicle patterns. Advanced Cargo Theft Recovery: Beyond just prevention, the platform is an active tool for recovery. By analyzing historical sightings and specific truck markings (like unique mud flaps or bumper damage), the team has helped recover over 5,000 trailers in just two years. Bridging the Law Enforcement Gap: Because local police often lack the jurisdiction or resources to track freight across state lines, GenLogs acts as a critical bridge. They collaborate directly with the FBI and FMCSA to provide the data necessary to prosecute large-scale criminal schemes rather than isolated incidents. Beyond Security: Lanes and Capacity: The data serves a dual purpose for brokers and shippers as "Shipper Intelligence." It allows users to see which carriers are actually running specific lanes—even those who don't post on load boards—helping brokers expand their business with existing shippers by identifying untapped capacity. The Future of Integration: The "next generation" of this tech lies in seamless integration. Danielle's focus is on connecting this visual data directly into TMS platforms, allowing brokers to see a photo of the truck assigned to their load as a final line of defense before the shipment picks up.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a major compliance crackdown that has shaken up the electronic logging device market. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration revealed that a staggering 67 devices have been revoked since January 2025, with two more manufacturers just added to the list for failing to meet minimum technical requirements. Carriers currently using these revoked devices face a tight deadline to switch to compliant ELDs or risk being placed out of service after the sixty-day grace period expires on July 7, 2026. Next, we explore the electric vehicle sector where Tesla's long-awaited Semi has just landed a blockbuster deployment order. Listen in to learn how WattEV ordered 370 Tesla Semi trucks in what will become California's largest single electric truck deployment, with more than 300 units operating under a joint program with the Port of Oakland. To support this massive fleet, WattEV plans to open truck-charging stations equipped with Tesla's Megawatt Charging System chargers that can add 300 miles of range in about thirty minutes. Finally, we unpack the Southeast's most ambitious infrastructure project as Georgia Ports outlined a nearly $5 billion self-financed investment plan to add five new big ship berths and support a projected 54 percent growth in container throughput. Researchers at Georgia Tech found that routing cargo through Savannah saves shippers more than $1,000 per container when delivering to key inland markets compared to West Coast gateways, cementing the port's dominance as the Southeast's logistics gateway of choice.

In this Friday edition of What the Truck, hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent break down a pivotal week in freight, highlighted by an in-depth discussion with RXO's Chief Strategy Officer, Jared Weisfeld. Weisfeld details RXO's recent earnings and the successful integration of Coyote Logistics, describing the current market as a "supply-driven recovery" where regulatory pressures are forcing capacity out despite soft demand. A major focal point of the conversation is RXO's launch of Agentic AI, a technology designed to automate email spot quotes and increase broker productivity by decoupling volume growth from headcount. The episode also features Kelly Martinez, President of ePost Global, who shares staggering data regarding a 2,400% surge in rerouting activity that has yet to return to baseline levels. Martinez explains how geopolitical tensions and shifting trade policies, particularly new European tariffs, are pushing shippers toward multi-carrier strategies and global drop-shipping to maintain resilience. In the news bullpen, the hosts cover the sharp 40% drop in Forward Air shares following a failed strategic review and the potential loss of a major customer. They also analyze April's trucking job gains of 4,300—noting these figures are influenced by former Yellow Corp employees finding new work—and discuss FedEx's efforts to return MD-11 aircraft to service for short cargo flights. Finally, they highlight the FMCSA's ongoing crackdown on non-compliant ELDs, with 67 devices removed from the registry since January 2025.

We went LIVE from OOIDA headquarters in Grain Valley with Lewie Pugh for one of the realest trucking conversations you'll hear all year. How did OOIDA get started? Why are Hours of Service still broken? Have ELDs helped… or made things worse? Why are drivers still underpaid? And was the so-called “driver shortage” ever real… or was it used to flood the market and suppress wages? This episode pulls no punches. We break down: The truth about HOS rules Why ELD mandates still frustrate drivers Driver pay vs industry profits Training standards and CDL concerns The “driver shortage” narrative Why so many truckers feel the system is stacked against them No fluff. No spin.

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.

In this episode, we explore strategic capacity management as Abilene Motor Express being absorbed into Swift signals Knight-Swift's focus on long-term efficiency over brand diversity. We also analyze market resilience as the LTL pricing index hits new high in Q4, contrasting strong LTL yields against a truckload sector that is only showing tentative signs of recovery. Legal risks take center stage as C.H. Robinson makes its legal written case before SCOTUS on broker liability, arguing that the F4A safety exemption does not impose negligence liability on brokers. On the regulatory front, we discuss how the DOT to use AI to go after illegal truckers is transforming artificial intelligence from an operational tool into a weapon against fraud and compensation erosion. Technological fragility is exposed in our breakdown of How Verizon's Cellular Outages Expose Trucking's Technology Achilles' Heel, revealing the liability risks of cloud-dependent ELDs during infrastructure failures. Finally, we look at positive global news as Maersk returns to Red Sea with India-US service, shaving a week off transit times by resuming Suez Canal routes.

In this best-of episode of Everything is Logistics, we're building the business case for healthy paranoia in freight. I'm pulling together clips from past conversations with Jonathan Ryan (Overhaul), Reid Clements (Highway), and Mark Funk & Shivrani Narayan (SPI Logistics), plus a breakdown with Grace Sharkey (Orderful) on the current state of cargo crime. From fake carriers and spoofed identities to food-and-beverage loads that “disappear” into the market, this is the stuff that quietly nukes margins while everyone argues over rates.This episode walks through how fraud actually happens on the ground, what the red flags look like inside your TMS and inbox, and what the best teams are doing to shut it down before a load ever hits the road.In this episode, you'll learn:Why identity is the real battleground in freight fraud—and how a $300 fake MC can wreck your quarter.How shippers, brokers, and carriers are using data from telematics, ELDs, and IoT devices to spot sketchy activity in real time.What cargo crime looks like at the agent level: carrier vetting, distress loads, and “oh no” moments that could've been prevented.Why thieves are shifting hard into food, beverage, and other “easily consumed” loads—and what that means for your contracts and processes.Practical steps to tighten carrier selection, build better response playbooks, and protect both freight and drivers.If you touch freight in any way—shipper, broker, carrier, 3PL, agent—this is your reminder that trust is not a strategy. Paranoia, on the other hand, might just save your freight budget.Watch the video version of these episodes over on YouTube. Feedback? Ideas for a future episode?

Track back through last week's big trucking-issues hearing convened in Senate Commerce's Subcommittee on Transportation, Freight, Pipelines and Safety to work through some of the pressing issues ahead of the next highway bill, due in 2026. Featured trucking witnesses before the subcommittee and their full written testimonies: **Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association Executive Vice President Lewie Pugh: https://www.commerce.senate.gov/services/files/9B1EF7F2-DB30-4A08-9844-DC9F237282D5 **American Trucking Associations leader Chris Spear: https://www.commerce.senate.gov/services/files/FA35E84B-5DB2-4784-AD1F-0F0BD0065EC8 **Teamsters Union president Sean O'Brien: https://www.commerce.senate.gov/services/files/1B7508C5-A25B-4ACF-94BD-EBC2F83711FA In the podcast, featuring audio from the hearing, witnesses debate driverless or otherwise automated truck development and regulation, likewise automation's role in safety, which regular Overdrive readers may have caught also in the initial report from the hearing last week: https://overdriveonline.com/15751214 You'll hear about the huge rise in cargo theft the subcommittee also addressed in a hearing early in the year, aided and abetted by identity theft and double brokering and other forms of fraud in freight markets increasingly plied by organized rings. You'll hear about other techs like automatic emergency braking, some mention of flexibiltiies in the hours of service, about ELDs, unauthorized immigration and credentials fraud with practices like CDLs illegally procured for cash. What you won't hear is any mention of the term "non-domiciled CDL," though in response to a question from Senator Bernie Moreno (Republican of Ohio), Teamsters President O'Brien referenced carriers recruiting drivers for temporary work in the U.S. from overseas. The non-domiciled CDL is a credential that U.S. states can issue to such drivers, who don't have permanent immigration status in the U.S. but rather hold temporary work authorization. Some states don't issue these CDLs, and many others haven't been issuing non-domciled CDLs this way for very long, but the practice has certainly taken off over the last several years. Overdrive's own Alex Lockie's last-week-released research showed recent-years growth in states all around the nation with a 50-state accounting -- download the 20-page report via this link: https://overdriveonline.com/15750917 There's a whole lot more than just CDL issuance issues to chew on when it comes the next highway bill, of course. In this week's podcast, we let the tape roll on the hearing. Catch your elected representatives and the associations that represent trucking business owners and operators in action, interrogating a wide array of trucking and broader transportation issues.

The Voice Of GO(r)D podcast is very happy to bring you a discussion with former MIT Data Scientist Dr. David Correll, whose work within MIT FreightLab, a project of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, examines the mother of all problems in trucking, and the one that begets so many others, DETENTION.For non-truckers, detention is when trucks are held up for unreasonable amounts of time in the loading and unloading process at customer facilities. Some facility operators are notorious for this, and I have spent days trying to get certain things unloaded, and will share a particularly egregious example in the book I am writing on the fate of the North American Trucker in 2025. (see details below)Everyone remembers seeing footage of a hundred container ships waiting to be docked at the Port Of Long Beach/Los Angeles during Covid - imagine that this is what its like in many sectors of trucking, except it happens all the time, year in, year out, and has been this way since forever.Dr. Correll's research concludes, in his words, that America leaves “40% of its trucking capacity on the table every day” due to this pernicious and seemingly intractable problem, which is the proximate cause of -- Truck driver churn and retention issues- Speeding and aggressive driving behavior which pose a saftey hazard on our roads, and has resulted in the imposition of ELDs and other surveillance tech into the lives of truckers- Shippers being ghosted by carriers who find better facilities to work with- The wasting of millenia, yes, literally thousands of years worth of valuable human capital. Multiply all of the hours lost times millions of truckers times decades of this problem …. and its probably more than millenia.- An unnecessary drag on the resiliency of American supply chains.We had an interesting discussion that covers detention and then connects it to these other issues, and we also discuss possible solutions.You can read all about it at the following links -David's testimony to the Biden ‘Trucking Task Force' -https://www.congress.gov/117/meeting/house/114233/witnesses/HHRG-117-PW0Wstate-CorrellD-20211117.pdfDavid at Medium -https://medium.com/mitsupplychain/is-there-a-truck-driver-shortage-or-a-capacity-crisis-73a7d7a5bcbFrom MIT's own news site -https://news.mit.edu/2022/are-supply-chains-stuck-detention-0425Some FreightLabs research papers for your perusal -https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/130093https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/142935https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/126383You can find Dr. Correll onlinehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/davidhccorrell/https://x.com/DavidHCCorrellPlease enjoy this musical interlude - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7kwFSp7yh4&list=RDc7kwFSp7yh4&start_radio=1I have written extensively about one of the solutions to this problem, and that solution has been sitting in Congress for 3 years, waiting to be acted upon.

OOIDA has long called for hours-of-service flexibility. The DOT has a plan for two pilot programs to test changes to the hours-of-service regulations. But will they do the job?

Our guest on this week's episode is Danny Ramon, director of intelligence and response at Overhaul Risk Advisory Services. Cargo theft continues to be a problem for transportation companies. Sophisticated organized thieves target goods in transit – from high valued electronics to even a recent shipment of eggs. How can shipping companies prevent and discourage theft of their goods? Our guest discusses the growing incidents of cargo theft and what can be done to prevent them.We've seen increasing use of technology inside truck cabs in recent years, with the rise of tools like electronic logging devices (ELDs), GPS locators, and lots of smartphone apps. But one of the technologies that's been more challenging to adapt has been dash-cams. Laws vary from state to state on what is permissible to capture and record on camera devices. However, there are now some new technologies that can help to overcome the patchwork of state laws and still provide valuable information that these dash cameras can provide.A report from supply chain software company Cleo found that supply chain resilience is rising in stature among business leaders, ranking right up there with cybersecurity concerns. The company's 2025 Global Supply Chain Executive Report shows that 83% of executives surveyed said that supply chain resilience is as critical to their companies as cybersecurity is, with many saying they are turning to technology to boost resilience.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Many businesses have been hurt by massive jury verdicts – including trucking businesses. Now, Georgia's governor is proposing a solution: tort reform. Also, the California Highway Patrol is following several other states in using ELD technology to send safety messages to truckers traveling there. And you learned in school how important it is to check your work. But it's doubly important when it comes to your income taxes. 0:00 – Newscast 09:46 – California to use ELDs to send safety messages 24:24 – It's vital to check your work on your taxes 39:23 – Georgia governor pursues tort reform

In this episode of Freight Nation: A Trucking Podcast, host Brent Hutto is joined by Lewie Pugh, Executive Vice President of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA). They discuss trucking advocacy, regulations, and business profitability. Lewie shares how OOIDA has stood up for truckers for over 50 years, the ongoing battles with Washington D.C., and why truckers must take control of their industry. They dive into understanding the impact of regulations like ELDs, business strategies, and rate transparency to ensure profitability as an owner-operator.

A court ruling means small businesses again are required to file beneficial ownership information with federal officials – at least for now. Also, are the conditions right for a freight recovery? Trucking software maker Motive says its economic analysis points that direction. Then, Tom Crowley and Aron Lynch of OOIDA's Compliance Department discuss requests by carrier-vetting services for information off truckers' ELDs. And we're into a transitional month for the spot market. Rates are down a bit, but Brent Hutto of Truckstop says they should come back soon. 0:00 – Beneficial ownership information is back – again 09:46 – Freight recovery ahead?

OOIDA's leadership is taking some time to chat with you about broker transparency, why it's an issue and what you can do about it. Also, the Federal Trade Commission was set to take action against predatory towing, but somewhere along the way, the agency failed to act. We'll explain what happened. Then, the back-and-forth on beneficial ownership information and congestion pricing topped the big news of the past week. And OOIDA tour truck driver Marty Ellis has seen some ELD damage – not damage to ELDs but, rather, damage to infrastructure by truckers pressed for time by their ELD. 0:00 – The reason the FTC isn't going after predatory towing 09:46 – OOIDA fireside chat to break down broker transparency issue 24:24 – Big news week includes the back-and-forth on BOI 39:23 – Being rushed leads to ELD damage

Speed limiters in 2024 are less a story about what did happen and more about what didn't. Mark Schremmer of Land Line Magazine explains. Also, ELDs and a relatively new technology called geofencing are replacing the CB radio as a way to warn truckers of hazards ahead on the road. And a love of driving is how many truckers start. That certainly holds true for Mary Wilson, whose work in a bus led to her job in a truck. 0:00 – Speed limiters in 2024 – a story about what didn't happen 10:06 – New tech can warn truckers of hazards ahead 39:51 – A love of driving leads to a life behind the wheel

What does Rep. Sam Graves' return as chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee mean for major trucking issues?

Then, from a trucking company that helped a trucker in need to a court that made a bad decision on tolls, we'll offer up some Roses and Razzberries. And a California lawmaker is taking aim at CARB's recent updates to its low-carbon fuel standard – something that will increase the price of fuel. 0:00 – What trucking issues will Sam Graves put first? 10:06 – OOIDA makes big push on broker transparency 25:00 – Roses and Razzberries 39:51 – Lawmaker plans to fight CARB fuel standard

In this episode of the Trucking for Millennials podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting Brandon Wiseman, an expert in transportation law and compliance. Brandon shared his insights from the Truck Safe Live podcast and discussed key regulatory trends in the trucking industry. We covered a range of important topics including highway safety, personal conveyance, the truck parking crisis, tort law reform, ELDs, and speed limiters. We kicked off the episode by reflecting on the recent election results and their potential impact on the trucking industry. With Donald Trump winning the presidency and the Republicans holding the House and Senate, we speculated on possible regulatory changes and what they could mean for logistics businesses. Brandon provided a deep dive into the importance of staying compliant with DOT safety regulations, especially for new motor carriers. He emphasized the severe consequences of non-compliance, including hefty fines and potential shutdowns. We also discussed the critical issue of highway accident exposure and the rising trend of nuclear verdicts against trucking companies. One of the most engaging parts of our conversation was about personal conveyance, a gray area in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Brandon explained the complexities and the potential for misuse, advising fleets to either turn off the option or implement strict controls. We also touched on the truck parking shortage, a significant issue for drivers that impacts their ability to comply with hours of service regulations. Brandon highlighted the efforts being made to address this problem, including grant money awarded to states by the USDOT. Finally, we looked ahead to the new administration and what it might mean for trucking regulations. Brandon shared his thoughts on the potential for fewer new regulations and a focus on reviewing existing ones, drawing parallels to the previous Trump administration's approach. Overall, this episode was packed with valuable insights for anyone in the trucking industry, from drivers to fleet managers. Brandon's expertise provided a comprehensive look at the current regulatory landscape and what we might expect in the near future.
