    Einride's Ohio AV Deployment, Volvo's 2027 D13 Engine, & BNSF Ops Chief Out | The Morning Minute

    In this episode, we kick things off by examining autonomous trucking's major geographic expansion as Einride deploys cabless electric trucks in Ohio in partnership with EASE Logistics. This proof-of-concept deployment represents a significant shift beyond the Sun Belt, bringing SAE Level 4 autonomous technology to the industrial Midwest for the first time. Operating between warehouses in Marysville, the project is part of Ohio and Indiana's Truck Automation Corridor initiative to evaluate real-world impacts on safety and freight efficiency. Next, we explore the equipment sector where Volvo Trucks North America has unveiled a completely redesigned D13 engine engineered to meet 2027 EPA standards taking effect January 1st. The next-generation powerplant slashes nitrogen oxide emissions by a staggering eighty-three percent and particulate matter by fifty percent, making it Volvo's cleanest engine ever. With compacted graphite iron block construction, a higher compression ratio, and innovative fourteen-wave piston design, the engine delivers up to 540 horsepower while fundamentally redefining heavy-duty performance and environmental compliance. Finally, we cover a sudden leadership shakeup at the western Class I railroad as BNSF's chief operations officer departed after just five months in the top operations role. Matt Garland, a twenty-five-year BNSF veteran who took the COO position on January 1st, has been replaced by Craig Morehouse, who will now oversee the entire operations organization. The abrupt transition comes as Berkshire Hathaway's new leadership pushes BNSF to further improve its operating ratio and operational performance.

    “See You In Court” — Brokers Are Panicking, MOTUS Is Live & Trucking Changed Overnight | Brake Check

    The trucking industry just got hit from every direction. The Supreme Court dropped a broker liability ruling that has brokers, carriers, and insurance companies scrambling. MOTUS is officially live and already changing the compliance game. And while all of that unfolds, Washington is pushing a new Highway Bill that could reshape freight, enforcement, and trucking operations for years to come. In other words… the rules just changed. On this episode of Brake Check, Charles  sits down with Matthew Leffler along with Brandon Wiseman and Rob Carpenter from TruckSafe to break down: What the SCOTUS broker liability ruling REALLY means Why plaintiff attorneys are paying attention How MOTUS changes compliance overnight The mistakes fleets are already making What small carriers need to do NOW And whether trucking is heading toward accountability… or absolute legal chaos No fluff. No corporate spin. No “everything is fine” conference room nonsense. Just real trucking talk for real trucking people. If you’re a broker, carrier, fleet owner, dispatcher, safety director, or driver… this is the episode you cannot afford to miss. #Trucking #SCOTUS #BrokerLiability #MOTUS #FMCSA #Freight #OwnerOperator #TruckDrivers #BrakeCheck ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  3. $240B Transportation Bill, BNSF-UP Rate War Explodes, & Cargo Fraud Schemes Surge | The Morning Minute

    $240B Transportation Bill, BNSF-UP Rate War Explodes, & Cargo Fraud Schemes Surge | The Morning Minute

    In this episode, we kick things off in Washington, where the U.S. House of Representatives has just unveiled the BUILD America 250 Act, a sprawling federal surface transportation reauthorization package. This massive legislation allocates $240 billion in authorized and direct funding for trucking, rail, aviation, and ports, including a historic $102 billion investment in passenger and freight rail—the largest federal rail commitment since Amtrak's creation—along with $110 billion for roads and bridges, $17 billion for port upgrades, and $25 billion for airport modernization. Debate on the bill begins Thursday, just months before the current authorization expires in September. Shifting gears to the rails, we examine a brutal rate war erupting between two Class I giants as they battle for freight customers in front of federal regulators. Union Pacific has filed a 129-page complaint with the Surface Transportation Board alleging that BNSF Railway hiked reciprocal switching charges by as much as 472 percent at locations where UP recently won or grew business from BNSF customers. UP claims BNSF canceled longstanding unit grain train switching rates and forced customers to pay nearly triple the cost under merchandise train rates, while BNSF has rejected entire unit train shipments this month, allegedly to make UP service noncompetitive and drive shippers back to BNSF. Finally, we unpack the evolving threat landscape in supply chain security as traditional cargo theft tactics give way to far more sophisticated criminal operations. While overall theft incidents declined to 574 in the first quarter of 2026, deceptive pickup fraud schemes using fake identities and forged credentials jumped 31 percent year over year, with nearly half of those fraud incidents occurring in California. Electronics remained the most frequently targeted cargo at 17 percent of all incidents, while auto and parts thefts surged 142 percent from Q4 2025, prompting warnings from security experts that organized criminal networks are heavily investing in fraud infrastructure that traditional security measures like padlocks simply cannot stop.

    Why Spot Rates Just Spiked 5.5% (And the Supreme Court Storm Coming Next) | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

    Welcome to a jam-packed Monday edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? with your hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent! Today, we are breaking down the biggest headlines hitting the supply chain, talking rock & roll snubs, and sitting down with three incredible industry experts to tackle everything from highway financial nightmares to explosive fleet growth. Travelers’ Stephen Brasher reveals that 83% of motor carriers have experienced excessive towing rates. He outlines the critical steps to negotiate inflated invoices, demand itemized bills, and avoid devastating insurance coverage gaps. While legacy players were panicked by volatile equipment values, Avery Tomek shares how a “deal of a lifetime” allowed him to buy 200 lightly used trucks at an absolute fire-sale price—fueling rapid, unprecedented growth. John Weisblatt breaks down how NextPass is bringing interoperability to North American toll roads by replacing outdated windshield transponders with smart, plate-reading camera tech. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Visit our sponsor - TAYLOR AND MARTIN⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

  6. 5,100+ Freight Layoffs, $7M Florida Theft Ring, & MicroVision's Luminar Deal | The Morning Minute

    5,100+ Freight Layoffs, $7M Florida Theft Ring, & MicroVision's Luminar Deal | The Morning Minute

    In this episode, we kick things off by examining a brutal wave of workforce cuts hitting the U.S. supply chain sector. More than 5,183 freight-related workers have been affected by shutdowns, restructurings, and contract losses spanning at least twenty states across logistics, manufacturing, and transportation. The largest single reduction came from California-based FreshRealm, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after disruptions tied to a 2025 listeria outbreak, with major cuts at third-party logistics operators and automotive parts manufacturers also contributing to the staggering totals. Next, we explore how Florida law enforcement has dismantled a massive organized theft ring in an investigation known as Operation D-Fence. Authorities arrested fourteen people and estimate that roughly $7 million in proceeds moved through the criminal enterprise over the last year, with the operation allegedly functioning like a business complete with theft crews, transportation networks, centralized storage locations, and online resale channels targeting major retailers and construction sites across Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Finally, we unpack how the wreckage of the autonomous driving boom is being repurposed into a new generation of commercial trucking safety technology. MicroVision secured Luminar's assets for $33 million after the company's bankruptcy, gaining production programs with Volvo, an ASIC design team in Colorado Springs, and world-class validation facilities in Orlando. For fleet operators, the value proposition translates directly to cost-per-mile savings, with advanced driver-assistance systems delivering substantial accident cost avoidance and some insurers offering up to twenty percent reduced premiums.

    Freight’s Legal Earthquake: What the Supreme Court Ruling Means | Freight Expectations

    Craig and Matt are joined by freight strategist Ken Adamo to break down the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in F4A Montgomery and what it means for brokers, carriers, insurers, and shippers across the country. The conversation dives into the legal and operational fallout of the decision, including broker liability, negligent carrier selection, insurance market reactions, and why many believe the freight industry has entered a completely new era. The panel explores the uncomfortable reality that most carriers don’t have formal safety ratings, the growing burden now placed on brokers to determine “safe” carriers, and how rising insurance costs could reshape the industry through consolidation, higher barriers to entry, and inflationary pressure on freight rates. ⁠Follow the Freight Expectations Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

The SCOTUS Verdict: Broker Liability & f4a John Kingston, Editor at Large at FreightWaves, joins the show to dissect the unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling regarding the Montgomery case. We discuss: Why the industry didn’t see a unanimous decision coming. How this ruling removes the “iron curtain” of f4a protection for brokers in safety-related lawsuits. The potential “boost” for big brokers like CH Robinson and the massive new vetting burdens facing smaller players. What this means for the future of M&A and skyrocketing insurance rates. Solving the Parking Crisis with AI Joe Caivano and Venu Colli from SpotOS AI and Best Truck Parking join the quad-box to discuss why truck parking can no longer be an afterthought. How SpotOS AI is streamlining operations for facility owners using pattern recognition and real-time data.
