In this episode of Freight Expectations, Craig Fuller and Matthew Leffler break down one of the most important legal battles in the trucking industry: the Supreme Court case involving broker liability and CH Robinson. If the Court rules that freight brokers can be held responsible for accidents caused by carriers they hire, it could fundamentally reshape the logistics industry—impacting brokers, trucking companies, shippers, and insurance costs across the entire supply chain. ⁠Follow the Freight Expectations Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Just Another Trucking Podcast, Tom and David tackle a viral Reddit nightmare involving a husband who throws tantrums in the ice cream aisle and refers to his own anatomy with baby names. While David tries to argue that acting like a toddler is just a sign of being "comfortable" in a relationship, Tom and Krista are ready to stage an intervention.The conversation takes a sharp turn into the "disgusting" reality of UK service stations. Tom issues a savage public service announcement to stay away from Moto at all costs, while David sparks a heated debate by claiming that American truck stop showers are "immaculate" and likely cleaner than the one in your own house.In this episode, you'll also hear about:The $30 COVID "Piss Take": Tom revisits his deep-seated trauma over a tiny Chinese ready-meal and the absurdity of being forced to "walk-through" a drive-thru in a 50-foot truck.The "Wonderwall" Cringe: David confesses to a drunken 21st birthday performance that still haunts his dreams to this day.TikTok Disasters: What happens when you tell your partner they can sing just to be "nice," and they end up roasted on a global cringe page.3D Printing & Gaming: Tom reveals his massive, full-scale Helldivers shotgun build, while David explains how a drone ban led him to create his own trucking video game.The "Drift" Factor: Why American shopping carts are superior because they allow you to "drift" through the aisles with your kids in the seat.So let's strap down, let's strap in, and let's do this.If you are new to our Trucking Podcast, our hosts all have their own Youtube channels; Tom, Chloe, David, and Jamma are the host of the showSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/just-another-trucking-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The lumber market is deep in the **fog of war**. Freight is tightening, trucking rates are jumping, and species spreads are shifting fast. In Episode #159, Ashley, Gregg, Matt, and Charles break down why flatbed capacity is suddenly scarce, how Southern Yellow Pine is catching a bid while eastern spruce softens, and what heavy Doug Fir production in the West could mean for the market. The crew also tackles the big question: **where is the missing demand?** Canadian shipments are down, production is lower across North America, yet prices haven't fully reacted. Are buyers simply running leaner inventories and buying lumber just‑in‑time? If you buy, sell, trade, or build with lumber, this episode helps you navigate freight disruptions, changing buying habits, and the real supply‑and‑demand signals shaping the 2026 lumber market.

Our guest on this week's episode is Jackson Wood, director of industry strategy, global trade intelligence at Descartes. The United States is now at war with Iran in military actions that have now spread throughout the Middle East. With that part of the world being in major disruption, what are the implications for global transportation, ships moving oil and gas, and just supply chains in general? In an interview with Ben Ames, our guest offers some insights.  Having agility within our supply chains is a crucial way to prepare for unexpected events, whether that is a pandemic or now with the new war in the Middle East. Yet, Victoria Kickham reports on some new research that shows agility is something that many warehouses still struggle to achieve.There are some signs that the long-term freight recession in the trucking sector may be coming to an end. Ben Ames reports on some new statistics that point to some light at the end of the tunnel for carriers.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Truckers are sold to 24/7 — by brokers, shippers, insurance companies, fuel programs, tech apps, dispatchers, and every “solution” in the industry.But here's the truth most won't say out loud: small carriers aren't failing because they don't know how to drive… they're failing because they're misinformed, misled, or marketed to in ways that have nothing to do with reality.In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam sits down with John Landrum, an 8-year logistics strategist and marketing leader whose work has centered around understanding how carriers think, decide, and survive in a world full of noise.This isn't about factoring.This isn't about products.This is about how the industry shapes the narrative, what truckers get wrong, what companies get wrong, and what it actually takes to cut through bad information in 2025.If you're tired of being sold to and ready to actually understand the influence game behind this industry — this is your episode.

Our guest on this week's episode is Fab Brasca, senior vice president of market strategy at Kinaxis. The use of artificial intelligence is growing and its potential impacts on supply chains might be practically limitless. But how fast should companies move on adopting these technologies – and who is way ahead of the pack in implementing AI? Ben Ames answers these questions with today's guest.Our supply chains are supposed to be in motion to be efficient, yet a lot of the time our freight is stuck in neutral due to road congestion. The American Transportation Research Institute published its annual ranking of the country's worst freight bottlenecks this week. Find out where the worst bottleneck in America is snarling traffic.This week we learned about a new cybersecurity threat to worry about, and this comes from a brand new technology called quantum computing. In fact, this technology is no new that it's really still in development, not in the markets yet. But that isn't stopping hackers from using it already, as cyber-adversaries are harvesting companies' encrypted data now even though they can't open those files, because they plan to decrypt it on a future date, once quantum computing becomes powerful enoughSupply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Is trucking entering a new era? In this episode of Brake Check on FreightWaves, we examine two forces shaping the future of freight workforce development and legal accountability. First, Lindsey Trent of the Next Generation in Trucking Association joins us to discuss the mission of the next generation in trucking. Are we finally fixing the pipeline? What are we getting right  and where are we still missing the mark? Then we turn to the Supreme Court ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC with Shannon Everett of American Truckers United. We break down:• What the ruling actually means • Whether broker immunity is narrowing • Insurance and liability ripple effects • The impact on small carriers • Non-domiciled CDL concerns • Whether this strengthens accountability  or destabilizes freight This episode connects the next generation entering trucking with the legal framework they're stepping into. Because when liability shifts, capital shifts. When capital shifts, freight shifts.

After years of lobbying, trucking standards have become increasingly more lax, allowing for illegal immigrants to be hired for pennies on the dollar and with little ability. Earlier this month, in a trend that's continued over the last few years, four Americans lost their lives as a result. Co-Founder of American Truckers United Shannon Everett joins Will to explain the growing presence of illegal immigrants in the trucking industry, how so many illegals get commercial driver's licenses, why certain states allow it to happen, and what we can do to set things right.Plus, Congressman Wesley Hunt (R-TX) sits down with Will to discuss his current run for U.S. Senate and his belief that Congress should have a maximum term limit of 12 years, before sharing some of his personal background and reacting to his Democratic opponent James Talarico's (D-TX) views on religion.

Liam Quigley, reporter covering parks & sanitation for Gothamist and WNYC, talks about his investigation into NYC's tow truck industry, where he found unscrupulous practices that have consequences for street safety, insurance claims and more.

Critics warn this move to close safety loopholes could eventually push nearly 200,000 drivers out of the market.
