Every day, truckers across the country get scam emails, texts and even letters by snail mail. However, some of the communications truckers receive are very real and need to be attended to. That was the case recently with a state that was informing truckers about a tax they need to pay. Also, eventually, every trucker will face an inspection at roadside. How you react and what you do next can have a huge impact on your operation. And a decrease in load volume and truck posts has registered on the DAT load board. We'll get the details on this week's Market Update. 0:00 – Newscast  09:51 – When the letter is not a scam 24:34– How to deal with inspections 39:18 – Fewer trucks, loads in the market

In this week's episode of FTR's Trucking Market Update podcast, we discuss a milestone for pre-employment queries of the drug and alcohol clearinghouse and an unusual move in diesel prices.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appeared before the House Transportation and Infrastructure committee on Wednesday to answer questions about U.S. DOT policies. But as far as trucking matters go? There wasn't much. Also, a situation has come up that has serious potential consequences – drivers being stranded by their carriers. We'll discuss that – plus scam text messages and how to pull an MVR – with Joe Biggs and Aron Lynch of OOIDA's Business Services Department. The Brooklyn Queens Expressway in New York City is using weigh-in-motion scales on heavy trucks – and soon, violations will come with hefty fines.

Our guest on this week's episode is Don Hicks, CEO of Optilogic. As manufacturing is declining in China, many companies are turning to Mexico and other Latin American countries to assure a steady supply of goods while also shortening their supply chains. But will nearshoring actually resolve many of the problems supply chains have faced in the past few years?  We discuss the benefits and pitfalls of nearshoring designs.Freight brokers are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel – and there is new data to back up that better conditions may be returning. We discuss freight markets and what might soon be a return to more normal conditions following this year's declining market.The transportation industry is gradually introducing more electric-powered vehicles while moving away from diesel engines to power trucks.  Such a change, though, requires a lot more batteries than are currently available. This week we heard of plans from several truck companies to join together to build a new factory for domestic battery manufacturing. This will assure more battery supply for the trucks they hope to build.

And I think helping them succeed is having groups like Freight to Plate that can help facilitate all the unknowns." “In the midst of getting over and meeting those adversities, like looking at myself in the mirror and saying, do you still believe in yourself, do you still believe in what you're doing?
