In this episode of Brake Check on FreightWaves TV, host Charles Gracey is joined by Lewie Pugh (Executive Vice President of OOIDA) & Dan Lindsey of the Broker Carrier Summit, to tackle the growing issue of "Chameleon Carriers" in the trucking industry. They dive deep into how bad actors exploit systemic loopholes—changing DOT numbers and carrier identities for a nominal fee to dodge regulatory oversight, enforcement, and safety accountability—and what this means for highway safety, honest truck drivers, and industry standards. Key topics discussed include: The anatomy of a Chameleon Carrier empire and how easy it is to exploit current regulations. The critical need for stricter carrier accountability, real training standards, and audited CDL schools. Legislative efforts, including the SAFE Act and new FMCSA registration updates. Why drivers often end up taking the fall for predatory carrier practices and poor oversight. ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Good morning, my talk today is very rough, not very uplifting. But I suppose it needs to be said, thank you.

This Friday edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Malclolm and Michael Vincent kick off the show with some banter before diving into major freight industry headlines and expert interviews. Key Industry Headlines Colorado Federal Court Ruling: U-Haul was dismissed as a defendant in a Colorado federal court trial following a fatal June 2024 accident where steel beams fell off a truck. The judge cited lack of clarity regarding whether the driver was hauling for U-Haul or Monique Trucking. Massive Drug Ring Busted: Roberto Lopez was sentenced to nearly 19 years in prison for his role in a trucking-based drug ring that moved cocaine and millions in cash across the southeast using stashes and falsified logistics. Fatal Chinese Shipyard Fire: A fire aboard the Liberia-flagged dry bulk carrier Ocean Melody at the Qingdao Beihai Shipyard resulted in 25 confirmed deaths. Border Produce Drug Seizure: DEA and CBP agents in South Texas uncovered 2,000 pounds of methamphetamine concealed inside a shipment of cabbage. Featured Guests Johannes Ariens (CEO, Range Zero Emissions): Breaks down the strategic consolidation of West Coast zero-emission commercial vehicle operations, including partnerships with Ziegler Truck Group and Hyundai Translead. He discusses scaling medium- and heavy-duty battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell fleets, navigating incentive structures, and redesigning dealership models to account for 40% to 60% less vehicle maintenance. Diane Hutson (Executive Director, Saint Christopher Truckers Relief Fund): Highlights the non-profit's milestone of delivering over $5.5 million in financial assistance to ill and injured drivers. She details their free preventative health initiatives—including cancer screenings, smoking cessation programs, and vaccines—and calls on industry leaders to help connect drivers directly to these critical resources. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Visit our sponsor - KOONER FLEET MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

Most people think getting into trucking means buying a truck, finding loads and driving. Johnique Taylor—the "Queen of Trucking"—says that's one of the biggest misconceptions about the industry. With 28 years of experience across trucking, logistics, supply chain, driving, dispatching, training and entrepreneurship, Johnique explains why many new trucking businesses fail, why buying equipment shouldn't necessarily be your first move, and how entrepreneurs can create multiple streams of income within the trucking ecosystem. Curtis and Johnique discuss the difference between owning a truck and building a trucking business, controlling overhead, maintaining access to capital, surviving changing freight markets, and creating additional revenue from assets already inside your business. Johnique also shares how she turned trucks into mobile advertising platforms and why collaboration with professionals outside the trucking industry creates additional opportunities for trucking entrepreneurs. This episode isn't only about trucking. It's about the fundamental difference between creating another job for yourself and building a business capable of producing income, capital and long-term wealth. In This Episode Why new trucking entrepreneurs struggle Owning a truck vs. owning a trucking business How to enter trucking without immediately buying equipment Dispatching and logistics opportunities Why excessive overhead can destroy a new trucking company Building multiple streams of income inside one industry Business credit, liquidity and financial resilience Turning trucks into mobile advertising assets Finding hidden revenue opportunities inside your business Networking and strategic collaboration Lessons from Johnique's military background Women in trucking Building a business designed for longevity rather than quick money Website: https://solidrocksolutionsgroup.com Email: johniquetaylor@yahoo.com Phone: 404-960-1766 Brand: The Real Queen of Trucking

Josh Lovan has seen how trucking companies die. Not slowly, from rates. Fast, from one crash. Before he became an advisor at J. J. Keller, Josh was Director of Safety and Security for a major carrier — the man in the room when the accident call came in, when OSHA showed up, when the lawyers started prepping for trial. He's sat in the depositions. He's watched a single wreck, with shared fault and complicated facts, turn into a verdict big enough to erase a company. And before trucking, he was a law enforcement detective running undercover operations — which is exactly the background you want advising fleets on security in the middle of a cargo theft epidemic. Here's what he'll tell you that most safety conversations won't. The lawsuit doesn't start when the crash happens. It starts years earlier — in the driver file you didn't complete, the camera footage you never reviewed, the coaching conversation you skipped because the truck was making money. When the plaintiff's attorney gets your records, they're not looking for the accident. They're looking for the pattern. And most small carriers are handing them one without knowing it.We get into what actually gets carriers destroyed in litigation, how to use dash cams to coach drivers instead of policing them, the safety management cycle that turns compliance from paperwork into protection, the hours-of-service exceptions most small carriers misuse, what a mock audit catches before the real one does, and — from a former undercover detective — how thieves and fraudsters are actually targeting carriers right now, and what stops them. Good drivers are made great on purpose. This episode is the blueprint. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What's driving freight costs higher — fuel, tight capacity, inflation, or all of the above? On this episode of Freightonomics, Zach Strickland and economist D.J. Donahue break down the latest economic data and what it means for transportation, consumers and the broader freight economy. Producer prices are rising, with energy playing a major role. Diesel prices have surged, putting additional pressure on trucking and transportation costs, while elevated tender rejection rates point to a freight market that remains tight. The show also examines consumer credit, historically high credit card rates and what slowing credit growth could signal for consumer health and future freight demand. The conversation then turns to trade policy and the latest tensions with Canada. Zach and D.J. examine proposed restrictions on Canadian imports, the potential economic impact and why some of the targeted trade flows may have a much smaller effect on overall freight volumes than the headlines suggest. In the second half, Thomas Wasson joins Zach to explore the changing North American freight landscape. They discuss Mexican cross-border trucking, cabotage enforcement, falling Laredo freight volumes, shifting Mexico trade flows and the growing influence of data-center construction on freight demand. Data-center investment is generating demand for electronics, steel, concrete and open-deck capacity even as traditional consumer demand remains relatively muted. The episode also dives into ocean freight rates, fuel costs, congestion and the impact of weather on trans-Pacific shipping. Finally, Zach and Thomas examine changing FMCSA data and what it really tells us about trucking capacity. The bottom line? Capacity is not meaningfully growing yet, and the industry may be moving toward a smaller, more closely vetted and safer carrier base — but at a higher price. ⁠Follow the Freightonomics Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Trucking is spending a fortune on AI and automation. But what if fleets are automating the WRONG damn thing?AI can quote freight, process tenders, move data, predict maintenance problems and eliminate hours of back-office work. What it CAN'T do is lead your people.On this episode of Brake Check, Charles puts both sides of trucking's technology revolution in the hot seat. Grace Sharkey of Orderful has lived freight from nearly every angle .... brokerage executive, FreightWaves journalist and now freight-tech insider. We break down AI in trucking, freight automation, EDI, back-office technology, carrier productivity and how small fleets can separate REAL technology from another expensive demo with “AI” slapped on the front. What should a 20-truck carrier automate FIRST? What should stay human? How do you prove a technology investment actually delivers ROI? And how can you tell the difference between a real AI product and somebody who simply wrapped a shiny dashboard around an API?Then Dr. Vernard “Doctor V” Jenkins of Knight-Swift Supply Chain takes the other side.With 29 locations and roughly 10 million square feet of operations, Doctor V tackles leadership, employee retention, frontline management, AI implementation, change management and developing the next generation of transportation leaders. Because a dashboard can tell you WHAT happened. It still takes a leader to figure out WHY. And then we put $100,000 on the table:SOFTWARE OR PEOPLE?You can only choose one.If you're a fleet owner, trucking executive, owner-operator, freight broker, logistics professional, operations leader or anyone considering AI and automation, watch this before buying another piece of technology.The future isn't about choosing humans OR machines.It's knowing which damn job belongs to which.AUTOMATE THE WORK.

Interview with David Wolfin, CEO of Avino Silver & Gold MinesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/avino-silver-gold-tsxasm-record-revenue-powers-three-mine-expansion-strategy-8753Recording date: 4th September 2026Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:ASM) enters the second half of 2026 in the strongest financial position in its 57-year history, and that strength is now being deployed toward a decision that could reshape the company's production profile. Q2 2026 revenue reached $26.8 million, up 23% year-on-year, driven by higher realised silver prices at $68.90/oz and increased throughput from La Preciosa development material. Net income of $10.9 million and EBITDA of $12.6 million both grew strongly year-on-year, and the company closed the quarter debt-free with $144.2 million in cash and $140.8 million in working capital.That balance sheet strength underpins the company's most consequential near-term decision: whether to build a standalone processing plant at La Preciosa, its silver development project 19 kilometres from the existing Avino mill. Management estimates a facility comparable to Avino's current 2,500-tonne-per-day mill would cost $200-300 million, roughly half of which the company already holds in cash. A pre-feasibility study now underway with an independent engineering firm is expected within 8-10 months, after which Avino could move directly to a construction decision.The case for going standalone rests on both economics and optionality. Trucking material 19 kilometres at a much larger scale would strain logistics and community relations at the volumes a full La Preciosa operation would require, and CEO David Wolfin has been explicit that a standalone plant is the better use of capital once the study confirms it. Recent drilling supports that confidence: intercepts including 7.9 metres of 1,600 g/t silver and 2 g/t gold, and a further 6 metres at 550 g/t silver, suggest underground mining grades could exceed the diluted, open-pit-based resource model inherited from the project's previous owner, Coeur Mining.Underpinning this is Avino's first mineral reserve in company history, published in April 2026 after the company crossed the $90 million trailing-revenue threshold required under NI 43-101 to report reserves. The combined 127 million silver equivalent ounces in proven and probable reserves, alongside 301 million ounces of measured and indicated resources, gives the growth story a formal technical foundation it lacked a year ago. Average reserve mine life across the portfolio comfortably exceeds the roughly 8-year average among primary silver peers, a comparison management uses to argue for a valuation re-rating as the company de-risks.Risks remain concentrated in execution. Costs rose alongside the cash build, with all-in sustaining costs of $38.75 per silver equivalent ounce in Q2, reflecting the expense of developing a new mine rather than deterioration at Avino itself. Copper production fell 50% year-on-year as the company processed oxidised material from historical open-pit walls, a sequencing decision expected to reverse over the next six to eight months. Investors should also note that much of the grade upside management points to remains in step-out drilling not yet reflected in the reserve model; an updated estimate is expected in Q1 2027.For investors, Avino offers a rare combination: an operating, cash-generating mine funding a second high-grade asset, a debt-free balance sheet providing genuine optionality, and two concrete near-term catalysts: the La Preciosa pre-feasibility study, and the Q1 2027 resource update against which to track execution.View Avino Silver & Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/avino-silver-gold-mines-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe

Interview recorded on August 18, 2026.Freight rates are moving higher as the truckload market starts to tighten. In this episode, Chris Caplice is joined by Dr. Alex Leslie, Senior Research Associate at the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), to break down the findings from ATRI's latest Operational Costs of Trucking report.The report points to a different kind of freight recovery than the industry has seen in recent cycles. Rather than a major surge in demand, capacity has been leaving the market after several difficult years for carriers. At the same time, fleets are facing higher costs for benefits, maintenance, insurance and equipment.In this conversation, they cover:

Marc Cox opens the third hour reacting to media coverage following the passing of feminist icon Gloria Steinem at age 92, while examining the deadlocked deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial.

Motoring historian Jon Summers records a monologue from Highway 40 in New Mexico about long-haul trucking, sparked by a former FBI agent's book claiming many truckers are serial killers; Jon argues the job's transience and past lack of surveillance could enable predators, while stressing most truckers are not killers. He links truck-stop culture with prostitution/sex trafficking and discusses how CCTV and truck monitoring change risks today. He also describes the alienation of American rest stops, grueling hours, energy-drink dependence, dangerous speed differentials, and how trucking's distances strain family life. Exploring his fascination with big rigs, especially Freightliner and Volvo dominance due to fleet support networks and aerodynamics, while Kenworth/Peterbilt serve owner-operators and Mack fills niches. Jon considers buying a truck, CDL requirements, owner-operator “indentured servitude,” pay claims, high turnover, and predicts autonomous trucks will end the era of piloted over-the-road hauling. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Trucker Serial Killer Claim 03:00 Transience and Truck Stops 05:13 Sex Trafficking Connection 07:24 Love's and Driver Fatigue 11:01 Freightliner Obsession 17:47 Why Fleets Choose Volvo? 20:04 Autonomous Truck Future 22:21 Buying a Used Rig 26:19 Pay Rates and Turnover 29:34 The Owner/Operator Trap 32:11 City Driving, Wrap Up and Network Credits ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian.

Trucking says young people don't want to drive trucks. BULLSH*T. They're showing up. The real question is why we keep losing them.... With driver turnover still hammering parts of the industry, trucking keeps searching for the next generation while arguing about recruiting, CDL training, driver pay and a supposed lack of young people willing to work. What if the pipeline isn't actually the biggest problem? What if it's what happens AFTER they enter it? On this episode of Brake Check, Charles sits down with Lindsey Trent, President and Co-Founder of Next Generation in Trucking, and Tim Crawford, Co-Founder and CEO of Tenstreet, to dig into what it will actually take to recruit ... and KEEP .... trucking's next generation. We break down young truck drivers, Gen Z in trucking, CDL training, Workforce Pell, high-school CDL programs, apprenticeships, driver recruiting, onboarding, mentorship, home time and driver retention. Can small trucking companies realistically build relationships with high schools and CDL programs? Who pays the training bill? What happens to 18-to-20-year-old CDL holders who can't run interstate? What does the next generation actually expect from a carrier? And are fleets building careers young people want — or just feeding more drivers into the same turnover machine? Then we turn to the technology side. Tenstreet CEO Tim Crawford joins us to discuss small-fleet technology, carrier verification, fraud prevention, compliance, broker trust and Driver Pulse Fleet — including why legitimate carriers increasingly feel like they're being treated as guilty until proven innocent and what small fleets can do to better prove who they are. We also tackle one uncomfortable question trucking can't avoid:If changing jobs can cost a driver thousands of dollars and they're STILL willing to pay it just to leave your company...what does that say about YOU? The next generation isn't some future trucking problem. THEY'RE ALREADY HERE. Now trucking has to give them a reason to stay. #Trucking #TruckDrivers #GenZ #CDL #CDLTraining #DriverRecruiting #DriverRetention #OwnerOperator #TruckingIndustry #Freight ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Greg Feary runs the most powerful transportation law firm in America. Scopelitis represents the nation's largest trucking companies — when a mega-fleet gets sued, there's a good chance his firm answers the phone. He's spent four decades watching carriers get dismantled in deposition rooms, and prepping them to survive it. So I asked him to do something no guest has done on this show.Depose me. Mid-episode, we run it live. I play the owner of a nine-truck fleet after a serious crash — a fictional company, built from every real carrier I've ever coached. The 1099 drivers in company trucks. The driver files that got started and never finished. The dash cams nobody watches. The dispatch text that says push through. Greg does what the other side's lawyer would do with all of it, and I sit there and take it, so you can hear exactly what that room sounds like before you're ever in it. Then we break down where I died, what would have saved me, and the truth his four words on our intake form captured better than any regulation ever has — carrier vetting is fluid. The safety bar isn't set by the FMCSA anymore. It's set by juries, after the crash, and most small carriers are being measured against a standard they've never seen. We close with the misclassification time bomb sitting under half the small fleets in this country, and what the biggest carriers in America are doing right now that you can't see from the driver's seat. You've been told your paperwork will be used against you. Today you hear it happen. ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Jay Vaughn is a Board Certified Truck Accident Law Advocate at Hendy Johnson Vaughn, P.S.C., whose practice focuses on trucking litigation, traumatic brain injuries, wrongful death, and other serious personal injury matters. In this episode, Mirena Umizaj Dumas and Jay discuss what separates a true trucking litigation specialist from a generalist firm, the insurance coverage details attorneys often overlook, and why referral fee sharing can become one of the most expensive ways to grow a practice. They also explore how artificial intelligence is changing client behavior after a recent client found Jay's firm by searching ChatGPT and Claude before Google. Jay shares the human side of the work as well, including the moment he recognized the effects of a client's brain injury before she did, how he manages the emotional weight of serious cases, and why trucking lawyers ultimately hope their work makes preventable crashes far less common.

This week on the Oakley Podcast, Jeremy Kellett sits down with OOIDA's Lewie Pugh to unpack several key issues affecting truckers today, including the Freedom Haulers initiative that helps military veterans transition into civilian trucking by waiving certain CDL tests, and why carriers still need to provide extra training and support so veterans don't get caught in industry churn. They dig into Delilah's Law and related DOT rule changes on English proficiency and non-domiciled CDLs, stressing the need for drivers to contact lawmakers to get these protections codified. Lewie updates listeners on broker transparency efforts, widespread fraud, and why building direct shipper relationships matters more than ever. They also cover the national truck parking shortage, new funding and expansion projects (like on I‑70 and in Illinois), and how future highway bills could add more free parking capacity. Finally, they discuss the sting of surging fuel prices, the importance of solid fuel surcharge structures and discounts (including OOIDA's fuel card), and the broader mission of OOIDA to advocate for drivers, lower turnover, and keep small trucking businesses alive. Key topics in today's conversation include: Value Of a Good Shop and Long-Term Maintenance Relationships (3:17) Freedom Haulers Event at the White House and Veteran CDL Waivers (7:54) Extra Training Needed When Veterans Transition To Civilian Trucking (11:12) Delilah's Law, English Proficiency, and Non-Domiciled CDL Crackdown (15:24) Detention Time, Shippers, Receivers, and Loading Inefficiencies (18:27) Broker Transparency, Fraud, Motus Issues, and Safety Concerns (23:11) Illinois Rest Area Projects and Upcoming Federal Parking Funds (27:54) Mental and Physical Toll of Trucking and Daily Frustrations (33:18) Oakley's Fuel Surcharge Structure and Fuel Discount Strategy (38:03) OOIDA Fuel Card, Multiple Discount Cards, and Controlling Costs (39:44) Truck Driver Appreciation Week and Long Beach IANA Event (43:45) How To Join OOIDA, Membership Code, and Key Member Benefits (44:59) Closing Thoughts and Final Thanks to Drivers (48:15) Oakley Trucking is a family-owned and operated trucking company headquartered in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

Why would a truck driver spend thousands of dollars .... and an entire weekend ..... making a WORKING truck look better than some people's houses? Because this isn't really about chrome. And it damn sure isn't vanity. On this episode of Brake Check, Charles  sits down with Evan Steger of Evan's Detailing & Polishing / Time2Shine and David Lowry of Bennett Motor Express to uncover what truck pride is actually worth .... to the driver, the trucking company, the value of the equipment, and something much bigger than any trophy. We're going inside Stars, Stripes & White Lines, where working trucks aren't treated like trailer queens. Some competitors must prove tens of thousands of working miles, drive into the show under their own power, and then face serious judging to see who's really earned the shine. But that's only half the story. The weekend supports the mission of placing wreaths on veterans' graves at Andersonville National Cemetery through Wreaths Across America. We dig into the real business behind truck appearance and driver pride: Does keeping a truck show-clean increase resale value? Can pride in equipment improve driver retention? What does it actually cost an owner-operator to maintain that shine? Why do carriers invest in truck shows? And what can a fleet owner learn from drivers willing to spend their own money taking care of company equipment? Then we get to the reason this weekend exists in the first place: Remembering the Americans who served long after the trucks leave the speedway. Show trucks. Working trucks. Heavy haul. Owner-operators. Truck polishing. Driver pride. Fleet culture. Wreaths Across America. Veterans.It all comes together here. Because sometimes chrome isn't about showing off. Sometimes it reflects something worth remembering. #Trucking #TruckShow #ShowTrucks #OwnerOperator #WreathsAcrossAmerica #TruckDrivers #HeavyHaul #TruckingIndustry ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Shane Gillis and Joe Rogan see the problem: big corporations and government are deeply intertwined. But is giving the government even more power really the solution? Nate and Charlie break down the call for another Teddy Roosevelt and argue that the very institutions designed to control powerful corporations helped create the incentives behind today's corporate-government relationship. They dig into Roosevelt's view of executive power, railroad regulation that protected companies from competition, antitrust enforcement, the early framework that led toward the Federal Reserve, and the growth of federal control over drugs, food, and meat processing. The recurring question is simple: if government becomes the gatekeeper to running a successful business, where are corporations going to spend their money and influence? The guys also get into the absurdities of trucking regulations, government-created railroad monopolies, USDA meat-processing rules, and why another government agency probably isn't fixing government corruption.   Follow or subscribe to Good Morning Liberty, and leave us a rating and review wherever you listen. 00:00 Good Morning Liberty + Charlie's Former Band 03:15 Shane Gillis and Joe Rogan Want Another Teddy Roosevelt 07:15 The Problem They Almost Get Right 10:30 Why More Government Creates More Corruption 13:15 Teddy Roosevelt's Theory of Presidential Power 15:30 How Railroad Regulation Protected the Railroads 19:15 When Regulation Spread From Railroads to Trucking 22:45 Monopoly, Antitrust, and the Free Market 28:15 The Government-Created Railroad Monopolies 33:00 Teddy Roosevelt and the Road Toward the Federal Reserve 36:30 The Origins of Federal Drug and Food Regulation 43:00 How Regulation Helps Consolidate Industries   Join GML: https://joingml.com All GML Links: https://gml.bio.link Watch All Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr_8o0dDOX8DxO_Wwxu6WYhhA Watch Host Favorites: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr__Zu40RL7mWxCuOOe54zgy2 Join the Fed Haters Club: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub Martens Minute: https://martensminute.podbean.com/
