Understanding LMIA in Trucking: How the System Works and Where Newcomers Get Exploited The LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) system was designed to fill labour shortages—but in trucking, it's often misunderstood and, in some cases, abused. In this episode of the Lead Pedal Podcast, we break down how the LMIA system is supposed to work, how it's used in the trucking industry, and where newcomers can be vulnerable to exploitation. From illegal fees and false promises to job dependency and fear of speaking up, this conversation is about education and protection—not fear. If you're new to Canada, thinking about trucking, or already working under an LMIA, this episode will help you understand the system, recognize red flags, and ask better questions before putting your livelihood at risk.

Misclassified and Misled: How Driver Classification Impacts Immigrant Truck Drivers Driver misclassification is one of the most misunderstood—and most damaging—issues in the trucking industry, especially for immigrant workers new to Canada. In this episode of the Lead Pedal Podcast, we break down the difference between employees and independent contractors, why misclassification happens, and how it can affect pay, benefits, taxes, job security, and legal status. Immigrant drivers are often targeted because they may be unfamiliar with Canadian labour laws or afraid to ask questions. This conversation is about education, protection, and empowerment—helping drivers recognize red flags, ask the right questions, and avoid costly mistakes before signing on. If you're a driver, carrier, recruiter, or policymaker, this episode is essential listening. At Bison – They Put Safety First!

Why Drivers Leave Your Carrier in 2026 (And How to Stop It) Why are truck drivers leaving carriers at record rates in 2026? It's not just pay. In this episode, we break down the real reasons drivers walk away—from poor communication and lack of respect to limited growth opportunities, unrealistic expectations, and feeling like "just a truck number." This conversation is a must-listen for carriers, fleet managers, and recruiters who want to understand what drivers actually want today—and how to build a culture that keeps drivers long term.

What Drivers Want in 2026 – And Why Clifford Walker Transitioned from Trucking to Real Estate The trucking industry is changing fast, and 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for drivers and carriers alike. On this episode of the Lead Pedal Podcast, we explore what drivers really want in 2026—from respect and flexibility to pay transparency, career growth, and life beyond the truck. Special guest Clifford Walker joins the conversation to share his personal journey from a career in trucking to success in real estate. Clifford explains what pushed him to make the transition, what trucking did—and didn't—offer long term, and how drivers can think differently about career paths.  This episode is a must-listen for drivers planning their future and for carriers who want to understand how to attract, retain, and support drivers in the years ahead.

Why Drivers Are Not Numbers – And How to Keep Them Happy at Your Carrier In this episode of the Lead Pedal Podcast, we tackle a major issue facing today's trucking industry: drivers feeling like numbers instead of valued professionals. High turnover, constant recruiting, and burned-out drivers are symptoms of a deeper problem—poor communication, lack of respect, and weak retention strategies. We break down why drivers leave carriers, what actually keeps them happy on the job, and how fleets can shift from endless recruiting to building long-term driver loyalty. Whether you're a truck driver, fleet owner, recruiter, or operations manager, this episode offers real-world insight into treating drivers like people—not units on a spreadsheet.

Where is the sense of urgency to solve the issues that matter now, not after the midterm elections? We delve into Trump's asymmetric focus on foreign policy relative to the core bread-and-butter issues crushing the people, like health care. I warn about how Republicans are about to cut a bad deal on health care. Plus, Trump is moving to the left on federal abortion funding. He also agreed to surrender U.S. corporate tax sovereignty to the globalists. Next, we're joined by Shannon Everett of American Truckers United, who blew the lid off the silent crisis of illegal alien and foreign drivers destroying the trucking industry. We discuss how illegal aliens now compose a massive percentage of truck drivers and an even greater percentage of trucking accidents and criminal activity. Despite some federal action, the government is still failing to end this problem. We discuss numerous action items at the state and federal levels that must be addressed quickly.

Board Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig exposes a serious danger: medically unfit truck drivers.In this episode of After the Crash, David talks with Dr. David Fletcher, a double board certified physician in occupational and preventive medicine. They explain how unqualified medical examiners clear unsafe drivers to operate 40-ton trucks.✔️ Why some examiners shouldn't be certifying drivers✔️ Sleep apnea, BMI, and crash risks✔️ How the system fails families✔️ What skilled trucking lawyers investigate✔️ How expert insight reveals the truthDavid Craig is Board Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and accredited by the American Bar Association, meeting the highest standards in ethics, experience, and legal skill.

In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Richard Davis, a self-described Wall Street middleman whose story cuts far deeper than finance headlines and market chatter. What unfolds is a raw, layered conversation about ambition, identity, risk, loss, and the real cost of chasing success in high-stakes environments.Richard's journey begins far from trading floors and boardrooms. Raised in a working-class household in East Texas, he watched discipline, work ethic, and resilience shape his early mindset. Those lessons followed him through college, early business experiments, truck driving, and eventually into the world of stocks, investor relations, and public markets. His rise was not clean or predictable. It was earned through missteps, sharp turns, and moments that forced hard reflection.As the conversation deepens, Richard breaks down how financial literacy is rarely taught where it matters most, and why access, relationships, and visibility often outweigh raw intelligence. He shares how building platforms like Investors Voice and later FloorStocks came from recognizing gaps between retail investors, creators, and companies. The goal was never hype. It was connection, clarity, and transparency in a system that often avoids all three.The episode also explores the personal cost of rapid success. From becoming one of the youngest African Americans to take a company public, to navigating excess, ego, divorce, and a near-fatal wake-up call, Richard speaks candidly about what wealth exposes rather than fixes. Fatherhood, health, and purpose reshaped how he measures success today.Key themes and topics covered include:Building wealth from nontraditional pathsThe hidden mechanics of Wall Street and investor visibilityWhy relationships often matter more than credentialsThe difference between lifestyle wealth and lasting wealthMarket cycles, volatility, and today's investing climateLessons learned from failure, excess, and reinventionCreating platforms that humanize finance and leadershipRather than offering stock tips or shortcuts, this episode focuses on mindset, accountability, and long-term thinking. Richard challenges listeners to look beyond surface-level wins and ask deeper questions about why they want success, what they are willing to trade for it, and how they plan to sustain it once it arrives.Luis guides the conversation with curiosity and respect, allowing space for reflection without glamorizing the grind. The result is a grounded, honest discussion that speaks to entrepreneurs, creatives, investors, and anyone navigating ambition in an uncertain world.If this episode resonates, take a moment to support the show.
