In today's episode, we dive into a recent piece on the legislative push to remove Chinese military-connected companies from U.S. supply chains, highlighting a new bill introduced by Representative Elise Stefanik and Senator Tom Cotton. This proposed legislation enforces strict security certifications across the entire trucking industry, directly impacting everyone from prime defense contractors down to individual owner-operators. Next, we discuss an analysis of the intensifying global tariff fight as the Trump administration launches new trade probes into 16 partner nations, including Mexico and China. These investigations will scrutinize whether foreign industrial overcapacity is flooding the U.S. market with surplus goods, suppressing wages, and threatening domestic investments. Finally, we wrap up the show with an update from Uber Freight's latest market outlook, which warns shippers to prepare for rising spot rates and sudden cross-border disruptions. The report emphasizes that current logistics volatility is being driven by localized, lane-level shocks rather than broad macroeconomic shifts, requiring supply chains to remain highly agile.

Is the trucking industry being pushed to the brink?On this episode of Brake Check, we dive straight into the issues drivers, carriers, and industry leaders are talking about but rarely hear addressed without filters.First, Gord Magill joins the show to break down the degradation of trucking as we know it and what he exposes in his new book about how the industry has evolved ...and not always for the better. From regulatory shifts to structural changes in the business of freight, we examine whether the foundations of trucking are quietly eroding.Then Shannon Everett of American Truckers United climbs into the cab to talk about something drivers across the country are watching closely: Delilah's Law. We dig into what the legislation aims to accomplish, who is supporting it, who is opposing it, and what it could mean for the future of drivers in America. When policy, politics, and profit collide, who actually pays the price?Finally, Paul Gibson joins the conversation to bring it back to the people behind the wheel. While analysts and economists debate the freight cycle, drivers are living the reality every day. We talk about how drivers are feeling right now, what they're seeing in settlements, and where the industry may be failing the very people who keep freight moving.This episode connects the dots between policy, freight economics, and the real-world impact on drivers and carriers. If you care about the future of trucking, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Guests in this episode Gord Magill – Author and trucking industry analystShannon Everett – American Truckers UnitedPaul Gibson – Broker-Carrier Summit/ Host of the Freight BreakTopics Covered • The changing structure of the trucking industry• Delilah's Law and trucking policy debates• Freight market swings and driver sentiment• The impact of politics and regulation on truckers• What carriers and the industry may be missingSubscribe for more conversations about trucking, freight markets, regulations, and the future of the industry.

Increased fuel costs could drive some trucking business under according to an industry association. War in the Middle East has effectively closed the Hormuz strait, a vital shipping lane, meaning oil prices are volatile. A barrel of Brent Crude is just over $100 US dollars. The New Zealand Trucking Association says fuel has now overtaken labour as the biggest cost for trucking companies. CEO David Boyce spoke to Lisa Owen.

SummaryOn this episode of the Startup Junkies podcast, Alex Kruchten, co-founder of Hemut, joins Caleb Talley and Harrison Kitson to share his journey from adventurous student to tech entrepreneur and how Hemut is revolutionizing the trucking industry.Alex unpacks the founding story of Hemut, a venture born from the resourcefulness of his co-founder, who overcame extraordinary odds and built a multimillion-dollar trucking operation in his teens. Together, their team identified a major problem: trucking companies rely on outdated systems, with most current Transportation Management Systems (TMS) dating back to the ‘90s or early 2000s. Hemut's mission is to modernize these processes, eliminating unnecessary middlemen, and finally giving trucking companies the automation and workflow efficiency they deserve.The conversation highlights Hemut's unique approach, including co-locating their development team within client offices to ensure rapid iteration based on real-time user feedback. Alex also explains how programs like Y Combinator and Arkansas's Fuel Accelerator expanded their network, opening doors to communities geared toward supporting high-growth tech businesses.Beyond the business, Alex emphasizes the power of genuine relationships, taking risks, and the value of authentic connection. To sum up, this episode isn't just about tech innovation; it's a powerful story of resilience, teamwork, and the importance of community—one that every entrepreneur will find both insightful and inspiring.

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.

Voice Of GO(r)D welcomes back to the show Mr Rob Carpenter, trucker, consultant, software developer, expert witness, and industry researcher and reporter, amongst so many other hats he wears.A question I am often asked by friends and followers is “How do these small companies employing people with no experience and no training in the trucking industry get insurance?” Rob has delved into that question, and has written a series of articles for his own Substack, The Tea , as well as on Twitter/X, and over at FreightWaves, and joins the show to tell us what is going on here.His work is so deep and detailed and explains so much of what is going on that he has had several meetings with FMCSA head Derek Barrs and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.The first of a seven part series by Rob looking into the insurance side of the equation can be read at FreightWaves, and they are all worth your time.https://www.freightwaves.com/news/the-dumping-ground-insuring-americas-most-dangerous-truckers-no-questions-askedRob's writings have been so revealing about the dysfunction in the insurance market that various entities have asked FreightWaves to take his articles down.Clearly he is over some targets.https://x.com/Thewhitesmoke/status/2025184999821971527Rob has also written extensively on the utter lack of accountability enforcement throughout all levels of regulation in the business, including the fact that those who have murdered others by truck are still out their in business on our highways.https://www.freightwaves.com/news/the-driver-involved-in-the-10-fatality-alabama-crash-is-back-in-business-and-still-crashingAnd for those of you into other types of Murder, or Murder Mysteries, if you will, Rob has written about FBI investigations into serial killers who happen to have CDLs.https://x.com/Thewhitesmoke/status/2013764452244455806I reference some of Rob's voluminous output in my book coming out on March 24, which I am told by my publisher has already sold over 1000 copies on pre-order.Secure your copy today!In The US, you can order it directly from my publisher, Creed and Culture -https://creedandculture.com/books/end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/In Canada, you can pre-order from Chapters/Indigohttps://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/9781967613021.htmlAnd if you must order from Amazon, make sure you go back and leave a review for me there after you read it; that greatly helps with the algorithm.https://www.amazon.com/End-Road-Inside-War-Truckers/dp/1967613028/Thanks for listening, and please share with someone you know who might be a trucker or involved with the industry - word of mouth is the best advertising, especially for a one man show podcast project that generates zero dollars.Questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

In this episode of Freight Expectations, FreightWaves founder and CEO Craig Fuller and “The Armchair Attorney” Matthew Leffler dive into a historic day for the American supply chain. Following the Supreme Court's landmark ruling to overturn the use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEPA) for revenue generation, the duo analyzes the immediate legal and economic fallout for the trucking and shipping industries.From the potential for a massive West Coast import surge to the tactical shift toward Section 122 tariffs, Craig and Matt break down how this ruling creates a new “Black Swan” catalyst for freight demand.

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. The latest series is now available on Top Threats to our Supply Chains. It covers topics including Geopolitical Risks, Economic Instability, Cybersecurity Risks, Threats to energy and electric grids; Supplier Risks, and Transportation Disruptions  Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

This week on the Oakley Podcast, host Jeremy Kellett talks with Oakley Owner-Operator Craig Taylor about his journey from a long, successful career in wealth management to trucking and becoming a first-time owner-operator.

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.

#779 What if, instead of spending four years in college, you could build a multimillion-dollar business by age 28? That's exactly what Andrew Gomez did — starting his trucking company at just 18 years old! In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, Andrew shares how he went from dispatching for his brother to financing two trucks and launching AJG Transport while still a teenager. Over the years, he expanded into truck repair, logistics brokerage, government contracting, and even launched a trucking-focused software company.
