This week, Justin sits down with Ray Martinez. Ray served three consecutive terms as mayor of the city of Fort Collins, Colorado between 1999 and 2005. He was later elected to the Fort Collins City Council, serving a term from 2015 through 2019.  Ray is an active member of several local advisory boards in the Fort Collins area. He's also the author of 15 books and he is the founder of RM Consulting Inc., where he provides consulting services in many different areas, including writing and publishing, business development, marketing, public relations, and more.  But long before Ray began his service as an elected official, he was a police officer and detective with the Fort Collins police department for 25 years beginning in 1974. Today, he's here to discuss what was arguably the biggest case of his career, which began one night in October, 1980 with a wife's frantic call reporting that her husband had been shot in their apartment. From there, it spiraled into a massive story involving international arms traffickers, an ex-Army Special Forces hitman, and a North African dictator and the Central Intelligence Agency.

In our journey of pursuing God's calling on our lives, we find solace in the unwavering faithfulness of our Creator. Regardless of the challenges or circumstances we encounter, God's protective hand is ever-present. Much like the ancient Israelites who confronted giants and momentarily questioned God's promise, we, too, may gaze at the daunting mountains before us and momentarily doubt His faithfulness. In such moments, it's crucial to reflect on the countless ways God has already proven His goodness and faithfulness to us. Join us as Dr. Ray Martinez explores the power of remembering God's past deeds, reaffirming the unwavering nature of His character.

Dr. Ray Martinez - 10.30.22

God has called us to live a life of Authenticity. However, so many people hide behind their shame from past mistakes. Because of either their past or what they are currently struggling with, they hide behind a fake reality. Like Adam and Eve in the garden, shame can separate you from your purpose. It's time to make an exchange. Because of what Christ has done, you can walk in God's mercy every day. Instead of living in regret, you can live in peace and purpose! You don't have to sit on the sidelines of life and pay penance for your past mistakes. God has a gift of righteousness to cover you. Nothing you've done in the past is too much for the mercy of God. Be inspired today to move past guilt and shame and live your authentic life in Christ TODAY!

When you've walked through a season of pain, you have to pay attention to what you allow to play in your mind. Instead of dwelling on the negative thoughts, go back to what God said. What He promised will come to pass. Lamentations 3:21-23 says, "Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.

Sometimes we look at the place of emptiness as a place to run from. But we should look at that place of emptiness with the attitude of surrender to receive an infilling of God.  I love how the Message translation describes this in Mathew 5:3  "You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule." I Peter 5:7 Says, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."   FOLLOW TRUMISSION ► https://facebook.com/yourtrumission ► https://instagram.com/yourtrumission  To Give,  visit the online giving center. ► https://trumission.kindful.com About TruMission: TruMission exists to compel leaders and organizations to pursue their God-given mission.  Contact us: info@trumission.com 718 Highway 82 E. #278, Sherman TX, 75092

So just how did Daniel and Phyllis Snow's 1996 Freightliner Classic XL get to be called 'The Goose'? Here in this edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast, the independent owner-operators tell that story, which involves their son's 1999 Classic 'The Duck', too. Also: A bit of stumping for the importance of small business in trucking from Ray Martinez, part of his address at the annual meeting of the National Association of Small Trucking Companies in Nashville November 1.

"The winds of change" are afoot at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, said FMCSA chief Ray Martinez in his opening keynote at the annual conference of the National Association of Small Trucking Companies November 1. The three-day event is ongoing in Nashville, Tenn. Leadership at the Department of Transportation on up to the President of the United States, he added, "wants us to work with the regulated community," he added, going on to emphatically validate an oft-repeated statistic among the small-fleet and owner-operator community. "I recognize and respect the fact -- and this is a fact," Martinez emphasized -- "that 90 percent of the trucking industry is represented by carriers with 10 or fewer power units. ... It may not have been recognized in the past, but I can tell you it is loud and clear in our offices today."

Ray Martinez and Joe DeLorenzo of FMCSA come on to discuss today’s announcement about Hours of Service changes.

FMCSA administrator Ray Martinez appeared before the House Transportation Committee recently to answer questions on a number of issues, including ELDs, hours of service and autonomous vehicles. Terry Scruton finds out what he had to say from Jay Grimes of OOIDA’s Washington, D.C., office.

Los Rudosos review Elote's Cinco De Mayo with special guests Sondra Ruth Wesseldyke Reinstein from Inside The Ropes Podcast and coaches Ray Martinez and Pat Foster. This event marked the end of Los Rudosos wrestling career after failing to win a "Loser Leaves Town" match to the Red Pandas.

No sooner did we receive word of an amendment proposed to the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill that seemed to be designed to grease the skids for some sort of regulatory hours of service action by the FMCSA than we heard the opposite, at least according to an aide to the amendment's sponsor, Arkansas Rep. Rick Crawford. Overdrive News Editor James Jaillet, TruckersNews.com Editor David Hollis and Overdrive Senior Editor Todd Dills talked about the amendment yesterday for the Overdrive Radio podcast on tap here today, ahead of the full audio of Hollis and Jaillet's interview with Administrator Ray Martinez at the Mid-America Trucking Show last month. When we queried Crawford's office to ask whether, as suspected, Crawford worked directly with FMCSA in crafting the amendment -- which would have removed a regulatory step for FMCSA in any hours of service proposed rulemaking -- his office noted the amendment would not ultimately be taken up and was slated for withdrawal. We're keeping an eye on that going forward, but for now, here's the podcast, interesting to hear for several reasons, chiefly as it gives a window directly into the new FMCSA administrator's thinking on his still quite new post, and just what he might be able to do if the agency wants to in fact thread the needle through divisions in opinion on views around the ELD mandate, hours of service and so much more, and make meaningful change.

One month ago, Ray Martinez took the rein of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Although he hasn’t been on the job long, Martinez got right to work, making a point of meeting with truckers and hearing their concerns during the recent Mid America Trucking Show. Mark Reddig and Land Line Magazine Managing Editor Jami Jones had a chance to sit down with Administrator Martinez at the show to discuss some of the hottest issues in trucking right now.

Recently we got our first real look at Ray Martinez, the nominee to head the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration as the Senate Commerce Committee peppered him with questions about everything from ELDs to hours of service and the CSA program. Terry Scruton has a report.

Recently the Senate Commerce committee approved the nomination of Ray Martinez to head the FMCSA. Terry Scruton talks about what happens next – as well as the acting FMCSA administrator stepping down – with OOIDA Manager of Federal Affairs Jay Grimes.

Earlier this week we got our first look at the nominee for the top spot at the FMCSA, Ray Martinez. Terry Scruton will discuss that – plus some new ELD exemption requests – with OOIDA Manager of Federal Affairs Jay Grimes.

It's been quite a while since the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration had an administrator appointed to head it up, but this week, the news was that Ray Martinez had been tapped for the role. Career bureaucrat Martinez, currently serving at the head of New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission, should focus, say Overdrive readers, on a bevy of hours of service-related issues, in addition to other concerns voiced in this mailbag edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast, compiled from responses prompted via OverdriveOnline.com. What's your view on where FMCSA's eventual new administrator should put his focus?
