Episode 4726: U.S. Halts Visas For Commercial Truckers; Will Russians Agree To Peace Deal

Trump Has a Plan to Reform America's Elections. The Lone Star Lockup, Illegal Truckers. Crossroads with Joshua Philipp A new movement is starting to remake America's election laws, and President Donald Trump says he will lead this effort. Also, Texas is opening up its equivalent of Florida's Alligator Alcatraz. Their newly opened immigration detention facility, which is now the largest in the United States, is being dubbed “Lone Star Lockup.” And in other news, an illegal immigrant trucker accused of killing a family of three while driving across several lanes sparks a movement to identify illegal immigrants in the truck driving industry. We'll discuss these topics, and others, in this episode of Crossroads. Watch this video at-  https://www.youtube.com/live/m1PZGwnNdMU?si=P1umJKzzXKdbdfwv Crossroads with Joshua Philipp 617K subscribers 14,900 views Streamed live on Aug 19, 2025 Crossroads Podcast Josh's new special report BANNED DYES is premiering this Friday.

The Democrats are in a state of panic, and their desperation is showing. A federal judge appointed by Barack Obama has ordered the closure of the "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention facility, citing environmental concerns and ordering the infrastructure to be ripped up. The hosts argue that this is a politically motivated move to halt the deportation of illegal immigrants, who they believe are "future Democrat voters." They contend that the judge's actions are a prime example of the left's "punitive judicial overreach" and their fight to keep a specific demographic in the country to change the census and gain political power. The hosts also celebrate Senator Marco Rubio's new policy, which suspends the issuance of truck driving licenses to foreigners. They connect this action to a recent fatal accident involving an illegal immigrant truck driver, arguing that this is a common-sense safety measure that will also create jobs for American truckers who have been losing work to illegal immigrants willing to work for "dirt." The conversation highlights the hosts' belief that the Democratic party has disdain for American citizens and that these recent events show that the "war with you" has been escalated. They end on a positive note, saying "we are winning" and that these developments are "the beginning of the good news."

In “Project 61: The Mission to Give Truckers a Longer, Healthier Life”, Joe Lynch and Jeremy Reymer, the Founder and CEO of Project 61, discuss the shocking statistic that the average life expectancy of a truck driver is just 61 years and the organization's mission to address this health crisis. About Jeremy Reymer Jeremy Reymer is a recognized leader and innovator in the trucking industry with over 20 years of experience as both a carrier and vendor. A frequent speaker and podcast host, he addresses critical issues such as driver recruiting, retention, compliance, and health and wellness. In 2016, Jeremy founded DriverReach, a driver recruiting and compliance technology solution later acquired by Tenstreet. He also launched the popular podcast Taking the Hire Road in 2021, where he continues to spotlight industry voices and share insights. Deeply committed to the future of trucking, Jeremy serves on several industry boards, including Next Generation in Trucking and the Indiana Motor Truck Association. In late 2024, he founded Project 61, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to tackling trucking's greatest health crisis—the 61-year average life expectancy of CDL drivers. About Project 61 Project 61 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to improving the health and longevity of America's truck drivers. Named after the shocking statistic that the average life expectancy of a CDL driver is just 61 years, Project 61 is leading an industry-wide movement to confront this crisis head-on. Through awareness campaigns, education, and innovative health solutions, Project 61 seeks to empower drivers, carriers, and industry stakeholders to take action toward a healthier, more sustainable future for the trucking workforce. By addressing critical wellness challenges - including nutrition, fitness, mental health, and preventive care - Project 61 is working to change the trajectory of drivers' lives and extend careers that are vital to the nation's economy. Key Takeaways: Project 61: The Mission to Give Truckers a Longer, Healthier Life In “Project 61: The Mission to Give Truckers a Longer, Healthier Life”, Joe Lynch and Jeremy Reymer, the Founder and CEO of Project 61, discuss the shocking statistic that the average life expectancy of a truck driver is just 61 years and the organization's mission to address this health crisis. The Trucking Industry's Health Crisis: Project 61 is founded on a shocking statistic: the average life expectancy of a CDL driver is only 61 years old. This fact serves as the primary motivator for the organization and its mission. The podcast should emphasize this data point to highlight the urgency and severity of the issue, framing it not just as a health problem, but as an industry-wide epidemic that needs immediate attention from all stakeholders. Jeremy Reymer's Passion and Experience: Reymer's background as a seasoned leader and innovator in the trucking industry provides him with unique credibility. His previous success with DriverReach, a company he founded and sold, demonstrates his ability to identify a problem, develop a technology-driven solution, and lead a successful venture. This personal journey from a carrier and vendor to a nonprofit founder shows his deep commitment to the future of trucking beyond just business. Addressing Wellness Challenges: The podcast can delve into the specific health challenges that Project 61 aims to tackle. These include nutrition, fitness, mental health, and preventive care. The unique lifestyle of a long-haul truck driver—with its sedentary nature, isolation, and often unhealthy food options on the road—contributes to high rates of chronic conditions like obesity and diabetes. Discussing these specific issues will give listeners a concrete understanding of the problem. The Power of Community and Technology: Project 61's approach isn't just about awareness; it's about providing practical, accessible solutions. The organization recently acquired Offshift, a digital health platform specifically designed for truck drivers. This shows a commitment to leveraging technology and community to foster habit change and provide free tools and resources that drivers can use on the road. This technological component is a key part of the strategy to make a tangible difference. Beyond the Individual Driver: The mission of Project 61 extends to the entire industry. The nonprofit aims to empower not just drivers, but also carriers and other industry stakeholders. The podcast can highlight how investing in driver health is beneficial for businesses, leading to reduced healthcare costs, higher retention rates, and improved safety. This reframes driver health as a smart business investment, not just a moral obligation. A Collaborative Movement: Reymer's work with organizations like Next Generation in Trucking and the Indiana Motor Truck Association underscores his belief in a collaborative approach. The podcast can stress that solving this crisis requires a unified movement involving carriers, vendors, insurance partners, and the media. This collaborative spirit is central to Project 61's strategy of creating an industry-wide change.

  Larry Crafard - The Leads the Warren Commission Lost Part 1 & 2 at Kennedys & King Larry sparked John's interest as it seems he was sort of pushed out of the Warren Commission. Crafard testified before the Warren Commission over the course of three days. Leads were not followed up on. People feel Crafard has some similarities with Oswald. Was he an Oswald imposter? Crafard was tracked down to his sister's in Michigan after JFK and Lee were murdered. Robert Kermit Patterson went to Naval Intelligence in Dallas He reported that he'd seen Oswald in his club but it was Crafard. Waitress Mary Lawrence said she saw Ruby and Crafard together at the B&B Cafe the morning of the assassination. Gloria Fillman confirmed that she went to the B&B Restaurant with Crafard and Ruby. Washburn sat down and plotted out Crafard's timeline after Crafard left Dallas. Earl Ruby described getting a telephone call telling him that Oswald had been shot. When the FBI visited the Carousel Club, Andy Armstrong supplied the FBI with Crafard's mail and notebook. John felt that the FBI was very efficient in trying to find information on Crafard. They did not want to probe Ruby. The American public had to be convinced that the government, police and Warren Commission had things under control. The aim of the Warren Commission was to determine that Oswald was the lone shooter. Crafard's FBI testimony on Thanksgiving Day to the FBI was pretty thorough. Crafard's alibi for 11/22/63 is questionable. Crafard stated in 1st interview that Armstrong had woken him up at the Carousel Club. Incredibly, Crafard undermines his testimony from 1st statement, changed times he had interacted with Armstrong. Armstrong didn't give Crafard an alibi until January of 1964. This alibi didn't match Crafard's testimony. Was Crafard on a bus, headed out of Dealey Plaza, in order to confuse people? Ruby was at the Dallas Morning News at the time of JFK's assassination. Ruby could see Dealey Plaza from the office window. Detective Jim Leavelle arrived at the Tippit murder scene approximately about 1:30 PM. Did Leavelle deal with the 2nd wallet? After Dan Rather saw the Zapruder film, he tried to mislead the public, lying and stating Jack's head shot forward. Was Mary Bledsoe on the bus with Oswald? Did Oswald and a blonde woman get off Mary's bus? Did police board the bus? Was Crafard taken off Mary Beldsoe's bus to help take care of Office Tippit? Was he at the scene when Tippit was shot? Warren Commission's Leon Hubert and Burt Griffin did not feel that Crafard was a shooter. Officer Kenneth Croy arrived on the Tippit scene at the same time as Officer Hill. Bill DeMar testified that he felt he saw Lee Harvey Oswald in the Carousel Club. Could it have been Larry Crafard that he saw? Dan Rather's testimony actually destroys the "Magic Bullet Theory". Did Ruby think there was a plot to murder John Connelly? Was he surprised when he found out JFK had been murdered instead? The Warren Commission requested a search on Crafard's social security number to see where he had been employed. A Carousel Club stripper said that Crafard had a police badge and was impersonating being a police officer. What was hanging up in Tippit's car? Was it a shirt? Was it a jacket?

Overdrive's June Trucker of the Month Scott Smith, owner-operator of Sapphire Cartage out of Searcy, Arkansas, has a couple of secret weapons when it comes to bookkeeping, tax accounting and business analysis. The first is his wife, Stephanie, who after time in the health care field and then with Scott rearing four young children, found new work Scott Smith describes in this week's edition of Overdrive Radio. Stephanie's built accounting expertise as support for a small-biz accounting software system, and her expert handling of the Sapphire Cartage back office has taken that load off of the independent. The second of those secret weapons regular readers encountered in the June 30 feature detailing Smith's history trucking: https://www.overdriveonline.com/trucker-of-the-year/article/15749527/trucker-of-the-month-bets-on-equipment-diversity-as-failsafe Namely, it's a custom spreadsheet the owner-operator built himself to effectively analyze per-ton rates in the hopper-bottom freight business when it comes to load offers. But not only that -- it's his go-to tool for week-to-week business performance as well. As was detailed in the story, Smith uses the spreadsheet to set revenues against not only hard costs like those for fuel but his weekly home needs, his own personal driver salary, if you will. What he needs to contribute to household take-home figures as an expense there, on a weekly basis. What he describes in the podcast brings to mind in some ways Overdrive's own Load Profit Analyzer tool you can access at any time to game out rate scenarios or compare load offers: https://overdriveonline.com/load-analyzer With that tool, using your own fixed cost per day, variable cost per mile and that self-pay salary figure per day to then compare as many loads as you like for profit potential, you too can set those driver-pay needs to be calculated on the expense side of the profit analysis. For June Trucker of the Month Scott Smith, though, it's his own system that accounts for all of it -- indeed a now not-so-secret weapon we'd wager many owners out there might do well to emulate in whatever form works best for the operation. In the podcast, hear more about Smith's operation and history trucking from the start, back in the early 2010s when like many out there he just happened into a love for the road via work in a different sector than the hopper- and flatbed-hauling work he does today.

The Texas Supreme Court just tossed out a $100 million nuclear verdict against Werner.

In this episode, Linda continues her two-part conversation with Shannon Everett, co-founder of American Truckers United, an organization formed to inform, advocate, and protect truckers and citizens from the dangers of allowing non-citizens, especially those without valid IDs and/or those who cannot read or speak English, from obtaining a CDL in our country. America depends on truckers every single day. The highway heroes on our roads have often been the eyes and ears for the American people, alerting us to dangers that may affect our safety and national security. Many laws are designed to regulate the industry, but loopholes, especially around immigration laws, allow for illegal activity, safety issues, and homeland security threats. This is important information for every American who cares about highway safety and national security.

FMCSA will renew an exemption for oversize and overweight loads, in part because those rigs realistically have no place to park. Also, many truckers have tried CBD, but a doctor says it could cause truckers to fail a drug test. Then, court case delays, appearing in court and case dismissals – all three are things you need to know about if you're going to court. And the spot market is moving along according to seasonal expectations. Brent Hutto of Truckstop joins the show to break down all the numbers. 0:00 – Truck parking plays big role in oversize load exemption 10:12 – Doctor says that CBD is never safe for truck drivers 24:48 – Truckers need to know how things work in court 39:16 – Summer is here, and the spot market is acting appropriately
