In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam chops it up with Robert McCutcheon, VP of Strategy and Growth at TAFS, to dig into the stuff that keeps small carriers afloat—or breaks them down. We're talking factoring terms most folks overlook, the real cost of fuel cards, and how to make smarter money moves in a market that's already tight. Rob brings years of experience across finance, logistics, and trucking and lays it out plain: if you don't understand your numbers, you're rolling backwards. If you've ever signed a factoring deal or swiped a fuel card, this one's for you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
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.

How do we lead in the face of fear, when the stakes feel sky high and relentlessly personal?The realities of political violence, hostility, and burnout shape how we show up. And they can chip away at your generous heart, opening the path for cynicism and doubt.But if we can focus on what matters most, feel through our emotions–and help others do the same–and orient our gaze forward to the vision of our lives, work, and world that we want, we create an energy that cynicism can't easily break down, even through setbacks.We need to protect our hope and conviction that change is possible. The future is not a done deal. We have choices about how it unfolds.In this Unburdened Leader conversation, we explore what it takes to lead with clarity, protect our capacity, and still believe that change is possible, even when everything around us tries to tell us otherwise.Amanda Litman is the cofounder and president of Run for Something, which recruits and supports young, diverse leaders running for local office. Since 2017, they've launched the careers of thousands of millennials and Gen Z candidates and in the process, changed what leadership looks like in America. She's the author of two books: When We're In Charge: The Next Generation's Guide to Leadership and Run for Something: A Real-Talk Guide to Fixing the System Yourself, a how-to manual for people running for office.Before launching Run for Something, Amanda worked on multiple presidential and statewide political campaigns. She graduated from Northwestern University and lives in Brooklyn with her husband, two daughters, and their sometimes rowdy dog.Listen to the full episode to hear:How Amanda and the team at Run for Something support candidates in the face of real and present fears for their safetyWhy Gen Z's refusal to accept “the way things are done” is energy we need Why Amanda believes in the optimism of looking to what is possibleWhy getting involved on the local level is a powerful counter to pessimismThe major disconnect of pop leadership advice with how most people encounter leadershipHow our current moment is making leadership uniquely challenging, isolating, and exhaustingWhy leadership isn't about being your full self at work, but about responsible authenticityLearn more about Amanda Litman:WebsiteRun for SomethingInstagram: @amandalitmTikTok: @amandalitmanBluesky: @amandalitman.bsky.socialFacebook: @amanda.litmanConnect on LinkedInLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Run for Something: A Real-Talk Guide to Fixing the System YourselfWhen We're in Charge: The Next Generation's Guide to LeadershipDark WindsAlong Came Amor, Alexis DariaYou Had Me at Hola, Alexis DariaThe Breakfast Club

Uncertainty surrounds U.S. and China trade relations as the July 9th tariff pause deadline approaches. President Donald Trump has announced an agreement for China to resume rare earth minerals trade in exchange for some U.S. tariff relief, with negotiations to be finalized after the Fourth of July holiday. The U.S. Postal Service has rolled out the second phase of its new delivery standards nationwide, aiming to improve operational efficiency and reduce transportation costs. These initiatives involve expanding reduced surface transportation schedules from regional processing centers to more distant post offices, intending to eliminate inefficient trucking trips and potentially save $36 billion over 10 years. A new LA-to-New York passenger train proposal by AmeriStarRail is set to carry long-haul trucks and their drivers. This coast-to-coast service, in partnership with Amtrak, promises to complete the journey in less than 72 hours, offering truck drivers drive-aboard service with access to Amtrak's coach, sleeper, and dining cars. The operation could potentially begin as early as May of next year. Listeners are also invited to explore new content on FreightWaves TV. Upcoming episodes include The Long Haul with Adam Wingfield and Bring It Home with JP Hamstead, offering further insights into the freight industry. Learn more about your ad choices.

I got Long Covid after initially being infected in early 2020, and I have to say the silver lining has been meeting some extraordinary warriors in the disability community. So this song is dedicated to them and to any person facing health challenges. I see you. ✊

Because calm isn't magic—it's a skill.

"If you're not going to do it right the first time, don't do it at all. That's what I tell everybody in here." --2024 Small Fleet Champ Paul Rissler In this week's edition of Overdrive Radio, listen in for a tour around the headquarters of Paul Rissler Transportation, current Overdrive Small Fleet Champ, on the old home place for the big Rissler trucking family. Overdrive Editor Todd Dills was there in early May just ahead of Paul's older brother John and younger brother Delton Rissler's Crossroads Truck Meet show at the junction of U.S. 50 and Missouri state route 87 in California. Paul Rissler's one of five Rissler brothers all with some tie to trucking -- in their family, it's clear the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. In the podcast, Paul details his father and mother's small fleet history right from the spot where it all started for a young Paul, following in his father's footsteps as a small fleet owner. The fleet's ranged over more than a couple decades now from just a few to eight trucks. Paul and Michelle Rissler were right at 6 when they brought home the Small Fleet Champ title belt from the NASTC conference last fall. When we visited in May, things were in a brief moment of flux with one longtime driver moving toward retirement to local work, and another leaving as well. In search of the right drivers to fill those spots, the all-reefer fleet was well-positioned still with steady LTL lanes out of Pennsylvania from consolidator Dutchland Refrigerated, and other customers back toward Missouri from Colorado. Paul and his wife, Michelle (with all three sons Justin, Josh, and Jordan involved in various aspects of the business), have clearly built a fleet that's sustainable, no matter what comes. We start in the company office, then get a look at the main shop and warehouse area for Paul Rissler Transportation, then at the Risslerbilt, LLC, custom truck shop operated now by Josh and outfitted with what might just be the biggest paint booth in the entire state of Missouri. All of it was built by the hands of, and the close bonds between, the Rissler family and close-knit trucking community they've brought along with them on their long run of success. As mentioned in the podcast, small fleets of 3-30 trucks can enter to compete for this year's title belt in Overdrive's Small Fleet Champsionship via this link: https://overdriveonline.com/2025sfc -- deadline: July 31.

Tune into this episode of the FreightWaves Morning Minute for crucial updates impacting the freight industry, including the recent doubling of tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. These duties now stand at 50%, effective Wednesday, aiming to bolster domestic metals manufacturing and shield American steel worker jobs. This move has prompted Canada to negotiate for tariff removal, while Mexico has denounced the hike as a violation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). We also delve into the latest from LTL carrier XPO, which reported a modest 5.7% year-over-year decline in tonnage for May. This decline aligns with previous guidance and typical seasonality, as the industry continues to await an uptick in demand. The company's monthly declines show an improvement compared to the first quarter. Additionally, the episode covers Descartes' significant announcement of a 7% workforce reduction, impacting approximately 200 jobs. This action is an expansion of an earlier restructuring plan, designed to manage the uncertainties facing the freight industry due to changing trade policies and volatile economic forecasts. Despite these challenges, Descartes reported a 12% year-over-year increase in revenue, although it fell short of wider market estimates for earnings per share.

There was a landmark decision by the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) striking down President Trump's “Liberation Day” tariffs. This ruling unanimously deemed the sweeping tariffs unconstitutional, including significant levies on goods from China, Mexico, and Canada. Retail diesel prices have resumed their downward trend, with the Department of Energy/Energy Information Administration benchmark price falling by 4.9 cents. The average weekly retail diesel price is now $3.487 per gallon. In container shipping, rates from Asia to the United States have surged. This increase is occurring as shippers navigate the aftermath of a temporary easing in US-China tariffs, with "fear and uncertainty" driving prices up.

Federal authorities arrested 13 alleged members of two rival groups engaged in a violent power struggle in the San Fernando Valley for three years. These groups faced charges including attempted murder and illegal firearm possession, and specifically targeted Amazon, posing as carriers on the platform to steal shipments. Market conditions have led to the bankruptcy filing of a Wisconsin carrier, Elite Carriers, and its associated brokerage, ECI, Inc.. Three other businesses owned by the same person also filed for Chapter 11 protection, with both Elite Carriers and ECI reporting between $1 million and $10 million in assets and liabilities. Additionally, US law enforcement has obtained a temporary restraining order against two logistics companies, YDH Express Inc. and YDH International, stopping them from using the US Postal Service with counterfeit postage labels. The companies are accused of shipping thousands of parcels for Chinese customers with fake labels, and the complaint seeks to immediately stop the companies and collect money for financial losses incurred by the postal service. Looking ahead, tune into FreightWaves TV for new episodes of Freightonomics and The Long Haul today.

Coaches Justin, Amanda, and William offer programming, form coaching, diet coaching and more, here! In this episode of the Bacon Bibles Barbells podcast, coaches Justin, Amanda, and Emily discuss the intricacies of dieting, calorie counting, and the importance of mindfulness in nutrition. They emphasize the significance of understanding caloric intake, the psychological aspects of dieting, and the role of macronutrients in achieving long-term health and fitness goals. The conversation also touches on the common misconceptions surrounding calorie expenditure and the impact of high-fat diets on overall health. Takeaways Caloric deficit is essential for weight loss. Tracking calories helps in understanding eating habits. Mindfulness in eating can lead to better choices. The human body operates on energy balance principles. Diet fatigue is often psychological rather than physiological. High-fat diets may lead to health issues over time. Protein is crucial for satiety and muscle maintenance. Long-term health should be prioritized over short-term weight loss. Understanding macronutrients is key to body composition. Sustainable eating habits are more important than strict dieting.
