Long Haul Truckers, What's the Creepiest Most Paranormal thing you've seen on the Road at Night?

The first recorded powered flight lasted for 12 seconds and covered a distance of 120 feet. ICAO and IATA define ultra long-haul flights as routes lasting more than 16 hours, often spanning 13,000 kms or more. These nonstop journeys connect cities such as Singapore and New York or Perth and London During World War II, Qantas operated the aptly named “Double Sunrise” route, connecting Perth with Sri Lanka in a time of between 27 and 33 hours. We hear about the ultra long-haul flights with Kevin Byrne, Retired Lieutenant Colonel.

In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam sits down with Kristy Knichel, CEO of Knichel Logistics, to talk about what it really takes to build long-term broker-carrier relationships — especially in a market where trust is at an all-time low. Kristy shares what she's learned leading a woman-owned, family-founded brokerage, how she sees small carriers finding success, and what brokers are actually looking for when they talk about “partnership.” We dive into legacy, leadership, accountability, and how to survive when the market turns against you. This one's all about the real relationship work behind the freight. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam sits down with Garrett Allen to talk about the one thing that brokers, shippers, and carriers say they value — but few actually use to make better decisions: data. Garrett unpacks how small fleets can use their own performance metrics to create stronger partnerships, land dedicated lanes, and rise above the noise in a market full of volatility and skepticism. We dig into trust-building, performance proof, bid season, and why data transparency is the future of reliable freight — whether you're a one-truck authority or scaling up to 10. This one is about earning freight, not just chasing it. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

California relies on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta as a hub for water, biodiversity, agriculture, recreation, and more. How can we make sure that management actions are working as intended? Returning guest Stephen Elser is a Senior Environmental Scientist with the Delta Stewardship Council, which works to advance California's coequal goals: a more reliable water supply and a resilient Delta ecosystem. Broadly, Stephen's team is tasked with supporting the use of adaptive management to enhance conservation and sustainable use of the Delta.Adaptive management is a flexible approach to managing natural resources that allows for continuous learning, resulting in management decisions based on what was learned rather than simply implementing without regard for scientific feedback or monitoring. Management actions can be viewed as hypotheses to be tested, with the goal of continuous improvement while reducing uncertainty. Stephen explains the process of adaptive management, and why it's so important in complex ecosystems like the Delta.Stephen's Haiku:Uncertain futuresBut we know a lot, let's actLearning as we go -Read more about the Delta Stewardship Council at their website.-Follow this link to learn more about the Council's adaptive management work, and to find resources on developing adaptive management plans.-The 2025 Adaptive Management Forum will be held on October 14-15!

In this episode, you'll learn how many-year grants can bolster nonprofit people and programmatic impact. Host Rusty Stahl sits down with Betsy Leondar-Wright, Ph.D., the lead researcher at Fund the People, to discuss our brand-new report, Long-Haul Grantmaking.Betsy brings decades of nonprofit leadership, social justice activism, and academic research to the conversation, and she shares how her personal experiences with underfunded, unstable nonprofit jobs shaped her passion for this work. Together, Rusty and Betsy explore the vital question: what happens when funders commit to long-term, flexible support for nonprofits with an emphasis on supporting employees?Drawing from a case study of the Walter & Elise Haas Fund's Endeavor Fund, which made seven-year unrestricted grants to seven Bay Area nonprofits, Betsy highlights transformative impacts for organizations and their staff. From stronger internal systems and fairer pay, to improved work-life balance, healthier collaboration, and greater program impact, the research shows how funding stability, paired with financial incentives to focus on job quality, directly translates to healthier, more effective nonprofits. Betsy also shares moving examples of staff and program participants whose lives have been improved by this approach—from frontline workers gaining access to healthcare and rest, to immigrant entrepreneurs modeling better job practices in their own small businesses.This conversation offers funders and nonprofit leaders alike practical insights into how funding can shift from a cycle of scarcity to a model of sustainability. Listeners will also learn about an upcoming interactive webinar (October 10, 2025, 10am PT / 1pm ET) where Betsy and special guests will dive deeper into the findings and share strategies for overcoming barriers to many-year funding.

Is the constant tension between brokers and carriers just bad communication, or is it a sign of a deeper issue? In this powerful episode of The Long Haul, host Adam Wingfield sits down with Annique Lesage, the freight-savvy broker and coach known for her direct, no-fluff truth bombs on TikTok. Annique shares her incredible journey from handling customs to becoming a successful broker, and opens up about how the industry became her lifeline while escaping an abusive marriage. This isn't your typical broker vs. carrier debate. Annique provides a masterclass in shifting from a transactional, load-by-load mindset to building lasting, profitable partnerships. She breaks down why there's no such thing as "cheap freight," only bad negotiators, and challenges carriers to operate as strategic business owners rather than just drivers. If you've ever felt burned by a broker or struggled to make the industry work for you, this is a conversation you can't afford to miss. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

The U.S. government has filed its arguments in the lawsuit concerning California's claim that Congress was out of line when it yanked EPA waivers allowing policies like the Advanced Clean Trucks rule, a topic covered in Federal goverment fires back in court over California waiver cancellation. Susquehanna Financial Group has significantly cut earnings estimates for asset-based truckload carriers, reflecting soft spot rates, tender rejections, and a muted outlook for peak season. As reported in Truckload earnings estimates cut heading into Q3 reports, the cuts ahead of the third-quarter earnings season ranged from mid-single to low double-digit percentages for carriers including Schneider National and Werner Enterprises. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is recommending that trucks over 10,000 lbs. be equipped with driver monitoring systems, following a report on a 2023 fatal crash linked to trucker inattention. NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy asserted in NTSB to Feds: Require truck-driver monitoring that stronger vehicle safety standards and preventative technologies could have prevented this chain-reaction collision.

This week, I'm wrapping up our series on The Art of Preaching by talking about something that's so close to my heart: sustainable preaching. After almost 30 years of ministry, I've learned that it's not just about having a great message—it's about protecting the rhythm of your life so you can last for the long haul. In this episode, I share practical ways to guard your energy, keep your connection with the Holy Spirit fresh, and even raise up others to carry the message with you. If you've ever felt the weight of burnout or wondered how to keep preaching with passion decade after decade, this conversation is for you!!

Send us a textBehind the wheel of every commercial truck is a driver navigating not just America's highways, but a complex maze of regulations that would fill an entire office if printed. Attorney Zac Hargis pulls back the curtain on the unseen challenges facing the transportation industry in this eye-opening conversation about truck drivers' daily regulatory battles.From the moment they start their day with federally mandated pre-trip inspections to managing electronic logging devices while safely operating vehicles weighing up to 80,000 pounds, truckers face scrutiny at every turn. A single traffic stop can trigger citations at local, state, and federal levels, potentially resulting in fines exceeding $10,000 – enough to devastate a small trucking operation. Meanwhile, these professionals must contend with aggressive passenger vehicles, blind spots that can hide entire cars, and the physics that make it impossible for them to stop as quickly as smaller vehicles expect.The conversation explores everything from cross-border transportation challenges to the reality that truck drivers face medical scrutiny similar to airline pilots. Sleep apnea, diabetes, and other health conditions aren't just personal matters for truckers – they're regulatory concerns that can impact their livelihood. Hargis also addresses the isolation of life on the road and how truck stops have become unfairly stigmatized despite facing "no more illegal activity than their fair share."Perhaps most importantly, this episode reminds us of the essential service these road warriors provide. "I've got food on my table because of a truck driver. I've got this shirt on my back because of a truck driver," Hargis notes, emphasizing that most drivers take immense pride in their work despite the sacrifices it demands. Next time you're tempted to cut off a semi or become impatient behind one climbing a hill, remember – they're not trying to slow you down; they're doing their best to keep America running while navigating an almost insurmountable regulatory environment.Listen now to gain a new perspective on the trucks and drivers that make modern life possible, and learn how specialized legal services are helping these professionals stay on the road.

What if the hustle that built your success… is now the thing holding you back? In this episode, I sit down with Chris Ducker, entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of the Youpreneur brand, to explore what it really takes to lead for the long haul.

Learn five powerful lessons for achieving big, difficult goals that I took away from watching Girl Climber -- the new film that chronicles Emily Harrington's incredible, multi-year journey to free-climb El Capitan's Golden Gate route in under 24 hours. For me, this isn't just a film about climbing—it's about resilience, will power, and the triumph of human spirit, Furthermore, it serves as a bold reminder of what it takes to stay committed to a dream in the face of fear, doubt, setbacks, and even failure. As Emily's journey shows, greatness isn't built on talent alone. It comes from disciplined training, uncommon courage and toughness, and the willingness to keep showing up for a goal that feels just out of reach. I had the chance to see Girl Climber on its IMAX theatrical release date, August 24th, and I'll tell you—it was excellent! Truly a must-see for anyone passionate about climbing…or simply fascinated by what it takes to push the human mind and body to their limits in pursuit of a big goal. Podcast Rundown 0:15 – Intro to T4C podcast and my initial thoughts on the Girl Climber film 1:30 - If you missed it in IMAX theaters, don't worry. The film is now playing on the Indy Movie Theater network, with larger chain theaters scheduled to pick it up in the coming months. And starting this October, Girl Climber will be available online as a paid download from jolt.films.  Watch trailer >> 2:00 - Intro to the 5 powerful lessons on display in Girl Climber. 2:35 - Emily's backstory and diverse climbing accomplishments 4:35 - 5 powerful lessons for pursing audacious goals 7:00 - Definition of "BHAG" (big hairy audacious goals), as popularized by Jim Collins 9:00 - Lesson #1: Commit for the Long Haul 11:45 - Lesson #2: Embrace the Bruising Process
