    We Asked America's Truckers What's Really Happening... They Didn't Hold Back | Brake Check

    There are plenty of people telling you what trucking looks like from a boardroom. We decided to ask the people actually living it. Live from Shell Rotella SuperRigs at Bristol Motor Speedway, Brake Check handed the microphone to America's truck drivers for an unfiltered reality check on freight, regulations, pay, parking, respect, technology, and where this industry is really headed. No talking points. No corporate spin. No pie charts. Just honest conversations with the men and women keeping America moving. Joining Charles are trucking voices with decades of experience: Kenny Ziglar Daniel & Phyllis Snow ("The Goose") Mike Lombard Together, they tackle the biggest issues facing trucking today while hearing directly from drivers walking the show grounds. If you want to know what trucking really looks like in 2026, don't ask an analyst. Ask a trucker. Topics include: The real freight market Driver pay & respect Regulations & government oversight Parking & infrastructure Technology & a dancing cyber truck Recruiting & retention The future of trucking Live reactions from drivers across America If you believe trucking deserves a voice that comes from the road...not the boardroom.

    Laredo's New Rail Park, Trimble TMS Launch, & DeSantis Vetoes CDL Bill | The Morning Minute

    In this episode, we kick things off in South Texas, where developers are building a massive new rail infrastructure project designed to transform Laredo from purely a trucking gateway into a true multimodal freight hub. Following authorization from the Surface Transportation Board, Kraus Development and Ironhorse Resources plan to construct the two point six-mile Laredo Gateway Industrial Railway, connecting Gateway International Rail Park directly to Union Pacific's Laredo Subdivision. With capacity for more than twelve thousand railcars annually—potentially representing the equivalent of roughly sixty-two thousand truckloads—this short-line railroad will serve a sprawling industrial park in a border crossing that already processes between fourteen thousand and eighteen thousand commercial trucks every day and accounts for nearly thirty-nine percent of all U.S.-Mexico trade by value. Next, we explore the technology sector, where Trimble is aggressively expanding its product lineup with a brand-new transportation management system built directly from its massive European acquisition. The company has officially launched Trimble TMS for Shippers, a product that grew out of its twenty twenty-two acquisition of Europe's Transporeon for just under two billion dollars. Rather than forcing shippers to rip out existing systems, the new TMS offering uses a modular, cafeteria-style approach where customers can bolt on specific features like freight procurement, rate management, or carrier tendering to their current infrastructure and only pay for what they need. Finally, we cover a workforce development proposal in Florida that has hit a major roadblock as Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed a bill that would have allowed CDL training for certain state prisoners. The bill, which passed both houses of the Florida legislature with no opposition, was part of a larger vocational training measure targeting nonviolent inmates with two years or less remaining on their sentence. In his veto letter, DeSantis cited the program would be unnecessarily burdensome to the Department of Corrections and raised significant public safety concerns about authorizing incarcerated individuals to operate commercial vehicles in public thoroughfares.

    The $1,300 Brake-Check Scam: How Fraud Rings Are Forcing Nuclear Verdicts on Fleets | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

    The final Monday of June is packed with freight news, industry insights, and plenty of laughs on this episode of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? Hosts Malcolm Harrison and Michael Vincent kick things off by catching up on weekend adventures—from bourbon tasting and disc golf to a look at what's ahead for the freight industry this summer. In this episode: The Port of Brownsville completes its $295 million ship channel expansion and what it means for trade, LNG exports, and cross-border freight. A $500,000 bourbon shipment disappears after thieves pose as a legitimate trucking carrier. How cargo theft scams continue to evolve. FMCSA announces major enforcement actions, shutting down fraudulent CDL schools, removing non-compliant ELDs, and increasing investigations. Are these meaningful reforms or simply fixing long-standing problems? Tommy Slaymaker, Director of Fleet Services at The Pete Store, joins the show to discuss fleet maintenance, fuel costs, equipment lifecycle planning, and why proper truck specifications can save fleets thousands over the life of a vehicle. Plus, Grace Sharkey joins later in the show with more insights on the biggest stories shaping transportation and supply chain. ⁠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.

    $1.3M Cargo Theft Recovery, China Southern Orders Boeing Freighters, & ULH Biometrics Case | The Morning Minute

    In this episode, we kick things off by examining a massive cargo theft recovery near Chicago that reveals the sophisticated nature of organized freight crime. The Cook County Sheriff's Office recovered two stolen trailers containing over $1.3 million in copper wire and data center equipment at a truck yard in Elk Grove Township. Both trailers had been equipped with stolen license plates and were linked to the same unidentified driver, though no arrests have been announced yet. Next, we shift over to the air cargo sector where a state-owned Chinese carrier is making a landmark move that signals a major thaw in trade relations. China Southern Airlines placed an order with Boeing for seven freighter aircraft, including five of the all-new 777-8F models expected to hit the market in 2028. This represents the first purchase of the 777-8 freighter by a mainland China carrier and comes after China reopened its market to Boeing during President Trump's May visit to Beijing. Finally, we explore how a biometric privacy lawsuit filed in 2021 by an Illinois truck driver has just expanded into a potentially costly class action. A federal judge granted class status to the case against Universal Intermodal Services over fingerprint scanners used at its Harvey, Illinois facility. The broader class definition brings in workers from a Universal Logistics subsidiary and third-party staffing agencies, significantly expanding the scope of potential damages under Illinois' stringent Biometric Privacy Act.
