Good morning! God bless you. This is the last part of First Corinthians 9, verses 17 to 27. DAY 320 ☕️ LAST BOOK — "Part 3-How Does A Preacher Get Paid?" This chapter is very important to all of us, not only the church elders. Okay?—JC. ★ Support this podcast ★

Our guest for the hour is Stephen Laskowski, president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance, a group that advocates for trucking companies as well as owner-operators. His group is calling for the federal government to crack down on the use of independent contractors in the industry -- essentially gig work. We also hear from Navi Aujla, service director with the Labour Community Services of Peel who has helped drivers file labour complaints and we hear from CBC reporter Robyn Miller.

The most common question I get is, "When is a good time to start a trucking company". In this Episode Craig and I are going to answer that question and the answer might not be what you think.  But..... before we get into that, I tell a story about a stressful situation one of our drivers experienced that has a happy ending and gives you faith in humanity. What to Expect in Episode 181 Starting your own business is never an easy decision. It requires a huge leap of faith and a lot of guts. Most people just are not willing to jump into the unknown like that. I commend you for even thinking about it. The entrepreneurial spirit is one of the biggest, if not the biggest reason the United States is the greatest country in the world. The right time for you to start a trucking company is a very personal decision and I hope this episode will give you some insight to help you make that very big decision. I think there are different 4 scenarios or "triggers" that when you meet at least one of them you are increasing your likelihood of being able to run a successful operation. The first three are things that are well within your control. The last one is not in your control and I think it is also the one that involves the most risk and most prone to failure. It is also the one that entices most people to make the leap.   Get the full show notes: http://bit.ly/haulinassets   Motor Carrier HQ: http://bit.ly/motor-carrier   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/haulinassets Podcast/ iTunes: http://bit.ly/ha-itunes Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/ha-google-podcasts Stitcher: http://bit.ly/ha-stitcher

Key Takeaways: Beyond the Tracks: The Next Frontier of American Rail Rail freight industry is exploring innovations like longer trains, digitization, cleaner energy, and inland terminals to enhance efficiency and sustainability. Rail transportation is suitable for high-volume freight over long distances, typically 500-600 miles or more, with a minimum volume equivalent to four to eight truckloads. Railroads move freight in two primary components: intermodal (containers on flatcars) and carload/merchandise commodities. Rail transportation enables efficient, low-carbon freight movement, reducing emissions by 75% compared to trucking. Trucking goods by rail instead of road has sustainability advantages and helps address the shortage of long-haul truck drivers. Commtrex is a platform connecting rail shippers with service providers across the US, Canada, and Mexico, providing visibility and facilitating communication. Short-line railroads transport freight from Class 1 railroads to the final destination, often using transloading facilities for last-mile delivery. The freight visibility platform Commtrex assists shippers in locating facilities and services required for rail transportation. Rail freight provides cost savings, sustainability benefits, and supply chain diversification/flexibility for shippers moving commodities or bulk goods. Commtrex connect shippers, logistics providers, railroads, facilitating rail freight growth to support nearshoring and environmental goals.

Also, perhaps the most famous role soldier-truckers ever played was the “Red Ball Express.” Then, the “Code Talkers Flag,” which honors Navajos who used their language to help the U.S. in World War II, was lost until a trucker found it.

This episode focuses on a flurry of pro-trucker policy actions from the Department of Transportation, including a national audit of non-domicile CDL practices, withdrawal of a speed limiter rule, and two new pilot programs that allow more flexible hours-of-service.

Step back in time to the formative years of the logistics industry! In this episode of “Fuller Speed Ahead,” host Craig Fuller sits down with his father, Max Fuller, to unearth the incredible, often wild, history of their family's journey in trucking. Part 1 dives deep into the legend of Clyde Fuller – Craig's grandfather and a true pioneer of long-haul trucking. Max paints a vivid picture of the “Wild West” days before and during the heavily regulated era of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). Discover how Clyde, a charismatic “hell-raiser,” navigated a complex landscape, from hauling chickens with one truck to cleverly leveraging “shipper co-ops” to grow his business, often pushing the boundaries of the law. You'll hear captivating stories about: - The early, highly profitable days of trucking and the respected role of drivers. - The challenges of gaining ICC authority and how Clyde found “gray areas” to operate. - The dramatic real-life events, including a controversial “quickie divorce” and a memorable run-in with a lawyer that landed Clyde (technically) in jail. - How Clyde's audacious personality shaped his approach to business and life. -This is more than just industry history; it's a raw, unfiltered look at the grit, determination, and colorful characters that built the foundation of modern logistics. Don't miss this fascinating glimpse into the origins of a trucking empire!

In this episode of Tank Talks, Matt Cohen speaks with Ryan Manucha, research fellow at the C.D. Howe Institute and author of Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups, about a critical issue that remains largely invisible yet impacts every business operating in Canada: interprovincial trade barriers.Despite being a G7 economy, Canada continues to operate like a collection of fragmented markets, with conflicting provincial regulations creating friction across supply chains, licensing, and commerce. From inconsistent building codes to restrictions on transporting wine, the regulatory inefficiencies between provinces quietly stifle economic growth, suppress competition, and make it harder for startups to scale.Ryan outlines how these barriers originated, why reform has been so difficult, and what solutions, like mutual recognition and targeted legislation, are gaining traction across the country. He also shares how political will, industry pushback, and regulatory inertia are all part of the story. If you've ever wondered why your favorite B.C. wine can't be shipped to Ontario, or why it's so hard for businesses to scale across Canada, this episode is for you.Canada's Fragmented Internal Market (00:01:00)* Why interprovincial trade feels like dealing with 13 separate countries* How protectionist policies quietly hurt entrepreneurs and consumers* The story of Gérard Comeau and the constitutional fight over beerThe $200 Billion Opportunity (00:06:43)* Why eliminating internal trade barriers could add up to 7.9% to Canada's GDP* The dynamic benefits of freer internal markets beyond the static estimates* Why mutual recognition matters more than full harmonizationReal-World Examples of Dysfunction (00:09:56)* The absurdities of cannabis excise tax stamps and meat supply chain barriers* Trucking regulations, GST/PST discrepancies, and licensing headaches* The “invisible” cost of credentialing and compliance across provincesWhy the U.S. and Australia Do It Better (00:12:03)* How stronger constitutional laws and market pressure keep the U.S. more unified* Australia's model of mutual recognition and regulatory transparencyThe Politics Behind the Gridlock (00:15:35)* How provincial self-interest, regulatory capture, and lobby pressure slow reform* Why strong leadership from premiers like Doug Ford and Danielle Smith is key* The federal government's role in bridging the gaps and building capacityFixing the System (00:20:56)* Why the Canadian Free Trade Agreement is full of opt-outs and loopholes* How a “coalition of the willing” could lead the way* Using market pressure and interprovincial courts to drive changeWhat's at Stake for Startups and Innovation (00:36:37)* How trade barriers inflate the cost of living and suppress entrepreneurship* Why tech founders and business leaders need to speak up* Ryan's call to action: “If you see something, say something.”About Ryan ManuchaRyan Manucha is a research fellow at the C.D. Howe Institute, a Harvard-educated lawyer, and the author of Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups, which won the 2022 Donner Prize for best Canadian public policy book.
