Voice Of GO(r)D is delighted to bring you a conversation with one of those personalities you find out on the road (or online) that sticks out by telling things like they are, and pulling no punches in describing the reality we live in. One such personality is Axel, a fellow trucker who goes by the handle ‘Financial Physics' who offers commentary from the cab on the realities of economics, the hypocrisy of ideological partisans and government agents, and much else besides. In our conversation we go from his other career as an electrical generator installer and technician through all of the chicanery that animates our economy and the regulatory environment which obscures it all, and to the tragic (to me) sale of his Peterbilt and hanging up of his keys.You can find Axel on Twitter - https://x.com/FinancialPhysAnd on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@financialphysics7541My book, End Of The Road - Inside The War on Truckers is less than a month from publication and it has already sold over a thousand copies on pre-order.Secure your copy today, or come and see me in person at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky, March 26-28.In the US you can pre-order direct from my publisher -https://creedandculture.com/books/end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/In Canada at Chapters/Indigo -https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/9781967613021.htmlAnd if you must -https://www.amazon.com/End-Road-Inside-War-Truckers/dp/1967613028/As always, questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

Other future drivers look under hoods to perform safety checks, narrating as they examine steering hoses for cracks and leaks. An instructor glides between Spanish and English as he teaches Manuel Castillo, a native Spanish speaker, how to inspect a school bus. They're using a printed script of English phrases to practice what Castillo would say during a roadside inspection. 知识点：maneuvering n. /məˈnuː.vər.ɪŋ/careful planning or actions taken to achieve a particular result, especially in politics or business （尤指政治或商业中的）策略运作；周旋；斡旋• Behind the scenes, there was intense maneuvering to secure support for the deal.在幕后，为了争取这项交易的支持，各方展开了激烈的运作。• His promotion was the result of years of careful political maneuvering.他的升职是多年精心政治周旋的结果。获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！【节目介绍】《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。【适合谁听】1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等）【你将获得】1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

The government is tightening enforcement for truck driver training and English proficiency. AP correspondent Jennifer King.

Imagine driving down a dark highway and spotting a towering, hairy figure with a peg leg—truckers call it the Road Troll, and its sightings are as eerie as they are baffling!IN THIS EPISODE: An eerie tombstone stands watch over one of the city's oldest cemeteries. (The Guardians of Lone Fir Cemetery) *** 59 years ago, the northern part of the Ural Mountains of Russia played host to one of the most fascinating unsolved mysteries in the modern age. (The Dyatlov Pass Incident) *** A young boy experiences something strange in the middle of the night despite not believing in the supernatural or paranormal. (Thought Form In The Closet) *** A couple visiting a church discover days after the visit that they encountered something unnatural. (The Ghostly Vicar Who Still Haunts His Church) *** Never paying back loans, running from responsibilities, living a double life, having more than one wife, committing murder… hardly what one would expect from someone with the title of reverend. (Reverend Green: Wife Poisoner) *** A young woman sees a ghost of a family member at Starbucks. (The Love And Comfort Of a Parent From Beyond The Grave) *** Hebrews 13:2 in the bible says, “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” One young man learns firsthand that verse is true. (Touched By A Guardian Angel On A Rainy Day) *** Just what is the Road Troll? Is this a ghost, a hairy hominid a feral drifter or simply a figment of the imagination?

What's up, JFW family? Welcome back to the Channel 23 podcast. This episode mixes light-hearted dad jokes and team celebrations with important fleet safety reminders — from air in your chair, looking cool on your stool, proper trailer checks distracted driving, passing safely on 285, and proper shop communication.

For the first show of 2026 and the fourth season of the Voice Of GO(r)D podcast project, I am very happy to bring you a discussion with Ike Stephens, the empresario behind the highly successful and very popular YouTube show, Bonehead Truckers.Ike has been documenting the decline of the American trucking industry via his hilarious and well done commentary videos, which highlight what happens when The Powers That Be take a trade which requires high levels of competency and operational acumen, and attempt to deskill it by flooding the market with hapless locals from the unemployment line, or with insourced labor that is likewise clueless. As of late, Ike has been pulling no punches with calling out everyone involved in allowing this sad state of affairs to take place.You can find Mr Stephens all over the place -https://www.youtube.com/@BoneheadTruckershttps://x.com/boneheadtruckrshttps://www.facebook.com/boneheadtruckershttps://www.instagram.com/boneheadtruckers/And if you will be at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky next month, March 26-28, you can come meet Ike in person - and I might even be at his exhibition location with copies of my book for sale.Speaking of the book - we are less than 6 weeks out from release, and my book is already doing numbers in various Amazon book categories. As of right now, End Of The Road was number ONE in Canadian Politics, number 13 in Libertarianism, and number ONE in Transportation Industry.The first two are curious, given that Canadian Politics only figure in the intro and final chapters, and I use the term ‘libertarian' but a small handful of times; the politics that comes through my arguments are all over the place - libertarian, conservative, labor left, populist … I like to think the book's politics defy categorization.And on that note, go ahead and pre-order for delivery to your door on March 24, or come meet me at MATS, where I will sign a copy for you, and you can pay cash for a steep discount. The audiobook will be available by then, and I will have a QR code handy for those who want to download it to their devices instantly.In the US you can order a hardcover copy direct from my publisher -https://creedandculture.com/books/end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/In Canada you can do the same from Chapters/Indigo -https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/9781967613021.htmlIf you must -https://www.amazon.com/End-Road-Inside-War-Truckers/dp/1967613028/Thanks again for listening and making my podcast what it is, and thanks again for reading my work here.

In this week's edition of Overdrive Radio, drop in with our first Trucker of the Month for the year, West-Virginia-headquarterd Top Notch Transport and its owner-operator Patrick White. White trucks today in a beautiful 2001 Peterbilt 379 hauling a variety of equipment on a step deck, and here tells a story of perseverance through accidents and injuries, and building a team around him to excel despite the barriers fate's thrown at him. It's in response to a question from Overdrive Senior Editor Matt Cole that White emphasized the gratitude he felt to his own team, most notably his wife, Ashlyn, now managing many aspects of the business: https://overdriveonline.com/15815895 Cole asked White for his best piece of advice for new and/or aspiring owner-operators. White duly came with this -- no-nonsense, to the point: "Don't give up, don't listen to negative people, and learn everything you can from the old guys" who've done it all before, owner-operator White said. But he didn't leave it there. "Have a supportive wife, or somebody that is there for you, even if it's just a friend," he said, adding of Ashlyn White, who nominated him for the 2026 Trucker of the Year award: "She's the rock, she's the foundation of the business. She really is." As with so many of our Trucker of the Year contenders through the years, Trucker should well be plural in this case for the team behind the Whites' Top Notch Transport, trucking with authority now for getting on a decade. Ashlyn not only handled tarping and more for Patrick while he was recovering a broken leg last year, more routinely she can and does do pretty much "everything but drive," White noted, from dispatching to handling "all the paperwork and compliance for the business." Hear contending Truckers of the Year Patrick and Ashlyn White's story in this week's Overdrive Radio podcast.

Today, let's discuss several stories happening in the United States: 9,500 truckers get booted from service over English language requirements, and a jury awards $30 million to the estate of a teenager killed in Seattle.

The Jay Thomas Show from Wednesday February 11th, 2026.  Guests include Jason Hicks of United Patriotic Bodies.

In this episode of Tales of the Night, we return to the open road, to those journeys that seem routine but, at certain moments, become unforgettable. A work trip with a father and son, a decision made in the dead of night, and an encounter that leaves lifelong scars, opens a series of stories where stopping—even out of compassion—can change everything. Along the way, strange figures appear, nearly deserted towns unfold, and presences emerge that cannot always be explained rationally. Amidst engines, dark gaps in the road, and the blazing silence of the mountains, faith also takes center stage. Prayers, promises, and the protection of a saint intertwine with fear, latent violence, and that which seems to stalk those who make their living behind the wheel. Not all dangers come head-on, and not all salvation is visible. Three stories united by the night, the open road, and the feeling that there are places—and moments—where we simply shouldn't stop. Turn off the light, come with us… and get ready to get back on the road.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan sounds the alarm on a clandestine Chinese biolab discovered in Las Vegas, tied to the same Chinese national behind the infamous California lab raid involving dangerous viruses, dead animals, and fraudulent COVID test schemes. He then covers explosive new inconsistencies in the Jeffrey Epstein jail death investigation, including missing evidence, conflicting officer statements, and questions the DOJ still refuses to answer. Back in Washington, Bryan breaks down the looming DHS shutdown as Democrats push demands that would effectively cripple ICE, while some Republicans float compromise plans that Bryan warns could be disastrous. The episode closes with encouraging economic and medical news, including rising wages for American truckers as illegal drivers are removed, factory growth beating expectations, falling remittances to Mexico, promising breakthroughs in cholesterol treatment, inspiring longevity research from Spain, and simple evidence that family dinners may be one of the most powerful tools to protect children.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: February 6 2026 Wright Report, Chinese biolab Las Vegas garage, Reedley California lab Jiabei Zhu David He, FBI CIA biohazard investigation, Epstein jail death inconsistencies CBS DOJ IG, missing noose surveillance video questions, DHS shutdown ICE funding fight Democrats Top Ten demands, Thom Tillis ICE defunding proposal, American trucker wages rise deportations, factory growth ISM surprise, Mexico remittances drop Trump immigration, LDL cholesterol pill Texas study, longevity ultra marathon Spain Juan Lopez Garcia, family dinner mental health Tufts University

Trucking isn't just a job—it's a craft, a culture, and a way of life. In this episode of Loaded and Rolling, host Thomas Watson sits down with journalist and lifelong trucker Gord McGill to unpack how deregulation, automation, government policy, and the “driver shortage” narrative have transformed trucking over the past few decades—and not for the better. Drawing from McGill's upcoming book End of the Road: Inside the War on Truckers, the conversation explores declining wages, rising safety risks, forced churn, and the erosion of driver skill and pride. It's a candid, sometimes uncomfortable look at what's gone wrong in trucking—and what it will take to fix it. ⁠Follow the Loaded and Rolling Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

A round of applause is due for Overdrive's 2025 Trucker of the Year, selected from a field of 10 semi-finalist Trucker of the Month honorees, then three finalists. Off the top, one of the freight partners of the winning independent lauded the owner-operator for core strengths of the owner in her day-to-day work he does for a dedicated customer of the brokerage and small fleet Rankin & Sons. "I can't think of anyone who deserves it as much as he does," said Jeanna Bean of the winner, Overdrive 2025 Trucker of the Year John Penn. We also spoke with a close associate of Penn, Schneider-leased owner-operator Kevin O'Sullivan of Arizona, who recognized the real strength of the competitive field of all of our 2025 Truckers of the Month, especially the two fellow finalists. "There was a lot of good competition," said O'Sullivan. "He came out on top, and I'm glad he did. That man is a wealth of knowledge and, everything he's learned the good and bad, he's definitely not afraid to put it out there and help other people." If you followed the 2025 competition, you'll remember owner-operator John Penn's story, competition judges in the final round praising Penn for qualities shared by his fellow finalists – drive, clear focus on long-term business stability, mechanical aptitude, and so much more: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15770500 What may well set him apart, though, is all he's done to take advantage of what contemporary engines and drivetrains can help deliver -- maximum fuel economy, with Penn hovering near and occasionally above 11 miles per gallon routinely in his 2019 Freightliner Cascadia. It shows in his one-truck business's very-low operating ratio. Penn hauls LTL furniture with own authority as JP Transport, those outbound dedicated runs for the Rankin & Sons broker's customer, whom he treats like his own. He's hard at work taking advantage of return-load opportunities coming back toward home in Orleans, which you'll hear more about in a follow-up Overdrive Radio edition. In this episode, John Penn gives credit where credit's due, telling the stories of the men who mentored him early in trucking, the woman who's been with him every step of the way, and others who inspire him today -- including competitors Ron Kelsey and Jason Shelly. "I was shocked, first of all, honored," Penn said of learning of the win, particularly alongside Kelsey and Shelly. Both owners are, simply put, "the top of the heap." Read about both Ron Kelsey and Jason Shelly here: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15774237 And know that Penn's a pretty modest guy -- his business is pretty special in its own right likewise his willingness to share what he's learning with others in an ongoing dialog about just what can be done -- long as it makes sense from a biz perspective. As O'Sullivan put it at a certain point in our conversation, referencing Penn's fuel-mileage excellence in particular, "he's certainly set the bar high for the rest of us." O'Sullivan offered three words to describe his friend, mentor and potential future busines partner: Informative, genuine, down-to-earth, qualities that underpin Penn's two-decade odyssey to stability and profit with authority. With the win come a new Bostrom seat from the program sponsor, likewise a scale-model version of his aerodynamic 2019 Freightliner Cascadia by Eston Hoffman of Hoffman Mechanical Design. Plenty bragging rights, too, for the time to come. In the podcast, Penn tells his story with appreciation for the people who've been there setting him straight on the course to success, giving credit where credit's due.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers a mix of strong domestic economic news and mounting national security concerns as the country heads into the weekend. He begins with good news at home, as murder rates fall to their lowest level on record, American-born truckers see rising wages after foreign drivers are removed from U.S. highways, and major manufacturers like GM shift production back from China and Mexico to the United States. Economic growth is revised higher, signaling momentum heading into 2026. The mood then turns more serious with warnings about TikTok's unresolved ties to Chinese control, the failure to revive the China Initiative to counter espionage, and growing concern over Chinese ownership of American food brands and farmland. Bryan also covers escalating clashes in Minnesota as Democrats continue to resist ICE enforcement, a judge blocks charges against Don Lemon for his role in an attack on a Christian church, and the White House signals a major shift by authorizing ICE to use administrative warrants to enter homes of illegal aliens.

To quote the Drive-by Truckers, the Viola have been falling for so long it's like gravity is gone and they're just floating. That won't stop your favorite Fiorentina podcast idiots from getting on the mic and trying to figure out where it's all gone wrong, other than everywhere. It's just Hines and Tito this week as McMike's got holiday duties to attend to, but we maintain a pretty good level of absurdity regardless. This time around, we're looking back at the past couple of weeks and handing out some awards, including one we've had to rename in light of recent events. Then we take a look at some simple adjustments the Viola could make to stop losing like the losers they are. Staying in this present eventually got depressing, so we decided to look into the future and saw, well, an unremittingly grim landscape. Yep, we discuss relegation (one of us is surprisingly confident that Fiorentina's staying up) and the January mercato before closing out with a look at the coach, the fans, and the general feeling around the squad. Along the way, we learned about Mike's pandering to a younger listening demographic, Tito's Slingblade psychosis, and a new social experiment to conduct if you're listening in a crowded, public space.

   If you saw pictures or videos of the elegant dinner Tuesday night at the White House all you could think is President Trump is making dinners great again.  Oh, and we need a new ballroom at the White House.  Wait until you hear this guest list.    A listener sent an incredible email about what he sees every day in the trucking industry and you will be shocked.  Marco Rubio announces a whopping number of VISA's he's revoked because people come here and do bad things.   In sports, KU played Duke hard and tough but just didn't have enough without star guard Darryn Peterson.  But it left you asking the question if KU is better than Duke if they did have him.  A survey in Kansas regarding new ballparks is a total waste of time.  HOA's near the 119th and Nalls site seem to think they have some power in preventing the Royals from building.    The computer says the Chiefs are 50/50 to make the playoffs, I'll take the YES side of that bet and we explain why.  Callaway sells Top Golf and our Final Final is an online trend of how to get the best of Porch Pirates.

This episode is packed with sharp opinions and fascinating, often absurd, conversations: Lionel rages against his perpetual coffee machine woes and lip balm addiction, discusses his “shoot me list” (which includes wearing white socks with Birkenstocks and arguing about abortion at 3 AM), and celebrates Trump's unapologetic bluntness. Listeners call in to tackle complicated topics like separating genuine claims from "gravy train" opportunists within the Epstein files and life as a long-haul truck driver. The episode then dives deep into the strange world of faith and spirituality, discussing a trial lawyer's case involving a double board-certified doctor and an exorcism ministry that names demons like Jezebel and Lucifer. The conversation continues with an Eastern Orthodox priest on the absurdity of faith healing (like Ernest Angley's "foul deaf spirit be gone" technique) and deep theological questions surrounding Limbo, unbaptized infants, and controversial reports about the Pope potentially abolishing the Sunday Mass obligation.

Commercial auto insurance is shifting fast, policy exclusions are catching people off guard, premiums are climbing nationwide as loss ratios stay sky-high, and the financial barriers around captives continue to squeeze mid-sized fleets, and in this episode, Jeff Gordon and I dig into what brokers, carriers, and fleet owners need to know right now.  If you're trying to keep your costs in check, avoid uncovered losses, and build stronger relationships with the right partners, this conversation lays out exactly what today's risk management should look like in trucking, so keep tuning in to learn more!   About Jeffrey Gordon Jeffrey Gordon is the guy trucking companies call when they're fed up with insurance agents who disappear for 11 months and then show up at the last minute with a surprise renewal and a shrug. As the founder of Bayou Insurance, he built his reputation by doing something almost unheard of in the insurance world…telling fleet owners the truth and backing it up with real strategy. With nearly 20 years in trucking and logistics insurance, Jeffrey is known for dismantling the traditional "spray-and-pray" renewal process and replacing it with a transparent, structured game plan that actually puts fleets in control. His agency specializes in trucking operations, large and small, and he's quietly helping top-performing carriers escape the chaos of last-minute renewals.  From last mile to long haul, Jeffrey is working to scale Bayou Insurance into a National player for trucking operations looking for a better way. Jeffrey's mission is simple: He believes trucking is the backbone of our country.  Owners and drivers deserve to be treated with respect, and his mission is to give trucking owners the clarity, strategy, and leverage they need to build insurance programs that support growth instead of sabotaging it.   Connect with Jeff Website: https://www.bayouagency.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreytgordon/  Office Line: (318) 450 - 3737

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers China's interference in the New York City mayoral race, the stalled government funding battle in Washington, new data showing a resilient U.S. economy, dangerous foreign truck drivers on American roads, and spy games unfolding in Silicon Valley.   China Meddles in the NYC Mayoral Race: The Chinese Communist Party is boosting socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani on TikTok while suppressing content from rival Andrew Cuomo. Bryan calls it “bonkers” that America still allows a Chinese propaganda platform to shape its elections and urges Congress to shut it down immediately.   Democrats Block Government Funding Again: The Senate has now voted twelve times to reopen the government, and twelve times Democrats have said no — rejecting a bill to pay essential workers unless new health subsidies are included. Bryan says, “They're holding America's workers hostage for political gain.”   U.S. Economy Beats Expectations: Manufacturing activity rose for the fourth straight month, and Trump's tariffs show no inflationary impact. Mortgage rates dropped to 6.19%, their lowest of the year, while consumer spending remains strong among wealthier households. Bryan warns, however, that working-class families are still struggling under high costs.   Chinese Knockoff Airbags Kill Americans: At least six people have died after counterfeit Chinese airbags exploded during crashes, sending shrapnel through vehicles. The NHTSA is investigating, with cases tied to used Chevys and Hyundais.   Foreign Trucker Crisis Deepens: Indian nationals driving illegally in the U.S. are causing deadly crashes after repeatedly failing licensing tests. Bryan reports on one driver who failed ten times but still obtained a CDL through a corrupt Washington State program.   Silicon Valley Honeypot Spies: China and Russia are planting operatives — often young women — inside Bay Area tech firms to steal AI and defense secrets through seduction and marriage. Bryan shares a chilling real-life CIA story illustrating the tactic's human toll.   AI and the Power Problem: OpenAI's massive Texas data center will now run on its own natural gas plant, while the White House expands geothermal energy projects across the West. Bryan calls it “good news for your electric bill — and bad news for America's enemies.”   Good News for U.S. Workers: Provalus, a call center company, is bringing jobs back from India to rural America, paying $40,000 salaries for customer service roles. Bryan says, “It's proof that good business and good patriotism can live in the same company.”   Medical News — Social Media and the Brain: New research shows teens who spend more time on social media score lower in reading and memory tests, suggesting digital overstimulation harms brain development.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: TikTok China interference NYC mayor race, Zohran Mamdani Andrew Cuomo, Senate Democrats block funding bill, Trump tariffs manufacturing growth, U.S. mortgage rates 6.19, Chinese counterfeit airbags NHTSA, illegal Indian truck drivers Washington State CDL, Silicon Valley honeypot spies China Russia, OpenAI Stargate Texas natural gas, geothermal energy leases Nevada Idaho, Provalus rural call centers jobs, social media brain research teenagers
