Artificial intelligence isn't replacing truckers. It's giving smart carriers an advantage. In this episode of Brake Check, we separate real technology from industry hype and show how AI is helping carriers make better decisions, fight freight fraud, and run more profitable businesses. First, Dale Prax from ⁠Truckstop.com⁠ and FreightValidate pulls back the curtain on the latest freight fraud schemes, identity theft, fake MC numbers, and the tools carriers can use to protect themselves before a load ever moves. Then Jacky Zhao, Senior Director of Technology Innovation at ⁠Truckstop.com⁠, introduces AVA—the freight industry's first voice-native AI carrier assistant. Learn how voice-powered AI can help owner-operators and fleets search freight, check rates, and stay productive without taking their eyes off the road. Inside this episode: How freight fraud is evolving in 2026 The biggest identity verification mistakes carriers make The newest scams targeting trucking companies How Truckstop is fighting fraud What AVA actually does—and why it's different from the AI hype How AI can help carriers work smarter without replacing drivers Where trucking technology is headed next The future belongs to carriers that adapt—not because AI is replacing truckers, but because technology is becoming a competitive advantage.

Some carriers are surviving 2026. Others are quietly disappearing. The difference isn't luck. It isn't fleet size. And it isn't who has the newest trucks It's who has better information. On this episode of Brake Check, we pull back the curtain on what the data is really saying about today's freight market—and the hidden operational mistakes quietly costing carriers money every single day. Joining us: Sean Dehan – VP of Corporate Strategy & Development at Truckstop, breaks down what Truckstop's data is revealing about freight demand, rates, fraud, heavy haul, and the market trends every carrier should be watching. Robert Bain – Director of Partnerships & Senior Consultant at GLCS, exposes the hidden technology gaps, broken processes, cybersecurity risks, and operational blind spots that keep carriers from reaching their full potential. We cover: Where the freight market is really headed The biggest mistakes carriers make with load boards Freight fraud red flags every carrier needs to know Hidden profit leaks inside trucking companies Cybersecurity threats hitting carriers today Why some fleets grow while others quietly fail The operational changes that separate surviving from thriving If you're an owner-operator, fleet owner, dispatcher, operations manager, or anyone serious about building a stronger trucking business, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

More than just a place to refuel, America's largest truck stop is a massive, self-contained highway metropolis. It's a neon-lit engine powering the nation's supply chain, and a cultural sanctuary for the drivers moving our world.

More than just a place to refuel, Americas largest truck stop is a massive, self-contained highway metropolis that single-handedly powers the nations supply chain while serving as a cultural sanctuary for the drivers moving our world. In this special mid-tour episode of Own the Road, Kelli and Bob Phillips map out the incredible six-month journey ahead as they continue their mission to explore 250 years of American history, culture, and jaw-dropping landscapes across all 50 states. From the cutting edge of the space age to the opulence of the Gilded Age, the second half of this itinerary is diving deep into the heartbeat of America. Hidden within the ridges of East Tennessee, Oak Ridge—the "Secret City"—stands as a monumental site of American ingenuity and ethical weight, where a city was built overnight to change the course of history and usher the world into the Atomic Age. A monumental triumph of American grit over nature, the Hoover Dam stands as a concrete titan that tamed the Colorado River, sparking the rise of the modern West and serving as an enduring symbol of the nation's ability to engineer the impossible during its darkest hours.

In this week's podcast, Truckstop.com founder and CEO Scott Moscrip tells the story of his return to an active management role in the company after the prior CEO's removal and company board's insistence he retake the wheel. Since that happened, roughly a year ago now, "we started trimming at the top," he said. "About 80% of Truckstop's leadership was let go within about six months of me being back." The business's shaky financial position was such that at his June 2025 return it was a live question of that whether the company would even be able to continue, as he put it. "It was that bad," he said, with bloat in the employee rolls up from roughly 400 when he first retired in 2019 to 2025, when Truckstop employed more than 1,000 people. Regular readers will know Moscrip launched the load board as the first on the Internet back in the 1990s, when the most common question he got from a broker or trucker about it was "how do I connect to the Internet?" Fast-forward to today, and the company still employs hundreds, and contracts outside support all the way across the world in places like India and the Phillippines. When Overdrive reported on that particular move in 2024, there'd been something of an uproar among sources inside the company about it, folks who worried about support levels declining. Asked about the outsourcing, as you'll hear in the podcast, Moscrip confirmed those overseas teams remain in place, yet they've helped the core Truckstop.com team renews its focus on the fundamentals of the business -- serving the customers that use the board with functional improvements. Oversears support efforts, he felt, had improved over time, too. "They're up to speed now," he said. "We've also gotten better at outsourcing functions that really aren't necessairly industry-knowledge-based. ... You don't have to be an industry person to help somebody update their credit card." With old "leadership out of the way," he added about the big shift this past year, the remaining more than 300 "employees are now leading the way." The load board's business, he said, is back to being "about our customers, and what we can do to help them. ... We've allowed them to come back and fill our idea buckets," which resulted in a 30-for-30 push on the company's 30th anniversary this year. That is: 30 new planned product enhancements for customers that's shaping up to be well more than 30. The company outlined all of the updates completed or planned as of mid-April in a document you'll find in the post that houses this podcast here: https://overdriveonline.com/15826494 In essence, Moscrip admits, the company strayed from what any business should be most closely focused on -- serving the customer. The loss of focus came a time that compounded the difficulty, as the “uberization of trucking” he questioned a decade ago came to fruition over the post-pandemic period. The negative ramifications were that entities flooded in looking at trucking like an easy-in-easy-out “gig economy,” he said , not playing by the same rules and regs established truckers and brokers did. The fraud and rates turmoil that resulted, he added, are top of mind for the load board as it makes new moves toward better tools.

No corporate talking points. Just real conversations about where trucking is headed — and who may not make it there. If you're a driver, owner-operator, broker, fleet owner, or anyone who cares about the future of freight, this is the conversation the industry needs to have.

In episode 4 of the Fraud Watch podcast, Phil Brink sits down with Dale Prax, Strategic Fraud Advisor for ⁠Truckstop.com⁠, to break down what's happening behind the scenes as industry leaders head to Washington, DC to meet with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and members of Congress on May 14th. The conversation centers on a core issue driving cargo theft and freight fraud today: identity. It is not a lack of regulation, but a failure to verify who is actually operating inside the system. They discuss how bad actors exploit gaps in onboarding and registration and why enforcement has fallen behind. They also cover what changes could actually make a difference. From stronger identity verification and TWIC requirements to better data sharing across vetting platforms, this episode outlines what real solutions could look like and why this moment matters.

In today's episode, we discuss the harsh realities of the domestic surface market as a wave of bankruptcies among small and mid-sized carriers sweeps across the United States. Facing a prolonged freight recession, depressed spot rates, and high operating costs, vulnerable carriers are simply running out of financial runway and filing for Chapter 11. Next, we explore how logistics giant UPS is deploying cutting-edge technology by expanding its use of automated package sensors to virtually eliminate lost parcels. This massive rollout of RFID labels will streamline sorting operations, drastically reduce misloads, and give e-commerce shippers unprecedented real-time visibility into their freight's exact location.
