An Illinois-based trucking company, Chicago Suburban Express, is scheduled to close its doors on Friday, July 18th. Founded in 1963, the company, also known as CSX, previously offered same-day pickup and truckload shipments across Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and parts of Missouri, employing 41 drivers and operating 33 power units. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced a new 12-member DOT Advisory Board with the goal of increasing American private investment in national infrastructure projects. Duffy highlighted that while there's a significant opportunity for private capital in infrastructure, much of the current returns are going to foreign investors, and he aims to shift these returns to American investors. Derek Barrs, the nominee for the top position at the FMCSA, testified before Congress, emphasizing how his law enforcement experience will guide his leadership in the agency. He specifically noted his understanding of challenges faced by roadside inspectors when communicating with drivers lacking English proficiency, and pledged to address issues like fraudulent CDLs and other fraud schemes if confirmed. The episode also promotes upcoming FreightWaves TV programming, including new episodes of Bring It Home with JP Hampstead and The Long Haul with Adam Wingfield. Listeners are encouraged to get tickets for the Supply Chain AI Symposium on July 30th in Washington D.C., and to register for the free Enterprise Fleet Summit virtual event next week. Additionally, nominations for the FreightTech 100 awards are now open, with winners to be announced later in the summer and the FreightTech 25 announced at the F3 festival in October.

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
