    The Freight Floor E4: The Truth Behind MOTUS and Why it is broken

    The FMCSA’s rollout of the new Motus registration system has caused massive disruption across the trucking industry. While intended to stop fraud and modernize the DOT, severe glitches, automated lockouts, and a broken system build have left thousands of legitimate owner-operators locked out of their accounts and risking their operating authority. In this video, we break down exactly why the Motus rollout is failing, the massive technical bugs causing the "insurance black hole," and the specific role of the prime contractor, Changeis, Inc., alongside third-party vendors like IDEMIA and Login.gov This episode and all episodes is brought to you by the ClearPath Initiative, a 501(c)3 registered non-profit focused on providing a clear path into the logistics industry for former foster youth and other at-risk children.  https://www.clearpathinitiative.org/ Support the show

    The Freight Floor E2: Diesel, Debt, and the Death of the "Good Ol' Boy" Economy

    Welcome back to The Freight Floor. Look around your room right now. Every single thing you see—from your coffee maker to your boots—was on a truck. But most of you have no idea how it got there, or how close the whole system is to breaking. This week, we are looking at the new federal regulations threatened to choke out small business truckers, why the mainstream economic numbers you hear on TV are a total lie, and why waving a flag won't fix a supply chain. If you want to know what's actually happening to the American economy, you don't look at Wall Street—you look at the freight floor. Let’s get into it.
