  1. You Can’t Recruit Your Way Out of This… Trucking’s Driver Crisis EXPOSED | Brake Check

    You Can’t Recruit Your Way Out of This… Trucking’s Driver Crisis EXPOSED | Brake Check

    Today on Brake Check, we’re tackling one of the most talked-about and most misunderstood issues in trucking: Driver recruiting. Some say it’s never been harder. Others say the industry just hasn’t adapted. But here’s the real question… - Are we actually short on drivers… -Or are we just failing to recruit and retain, the right way? Because while companies scramble to hire, the headlines tell a different story Incidents, accountability gaps, and a system that keeps pushing drivers out faster than it brings them in. We break it all down with: Josh Mecca (Grammar Logistics) – Recruiting, retention, and building smarter supply chains Rebecca Anderson (Transland) – Talent pipeline, culture, and the future of driver hiring What drivers actually care about right now Why recruiting strategies are falling flat How retention is the real battlefield What the next generation of drivers expects (and why most carriers are missing it) And the hard truth about what happens if nothing changes Inside this episode: We also hit the headlines from a shocking bus incident to the growing questions around accountability in companies like C.H. Robinson and ask:How do you recruit drivers into a system they don’t trust? Then we close it out with a wild autonomous truck moment that proves one thing: You can bring in all the tech you want…but without drivers, and without fixing the foundation none of it works. No fluff. No spin. Just real trucking talk. Sound off in the comments: Is this a driver shortage, good job shortage … or a recruiting failure? #Trucking #DriverRecruiting #CDL #FreightWaves #BrakeCheck #Logistics #TruckDrivers #SupplyChain #DriverShortage #Recruiting ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  2. C.H. Robinson Broker Liability, Canada Post's Historic Loss, and FMC Global Shipping Shifts | The Morning Minute

    C.H. Robinson Broker Liability, Canada Post's Historic Loss, and FMC Global Shipping Shifts | The Morning Minute

    We kick off this episode in Washington, where Federal Maritime Commission Chairman Laura DiBella discusses how the agency's priorities have shifted to address a wave of transformational global crises. As detailed in our coverage of how the U.S. is adapting its maritime focus, geopolitical challenges recently led the regulatory body to reject emergency fuel surcharges from ocean carriers to ensure better financial accountability. Next, we head north to examine the massive labor dispute that drove Canada Post to its largest recorded pre-tax loss in history. After strike activity caused a staggering 87% widening of its annual deficit, the government-owned operator is navigating a comprehensive turnaround strategy that includes phasing out residential delivery. Finally, we unpack the intense public scrutiny surrounding one of the world's largest freight brokers after a national television broadcast questioned its safety practices. While the logistics industry awaits a landmark Supreme Court decision regarding legal responsibility for accidents, C.H. Robinson continues to defend its operations by emphasizing its strict reliance on federal regulatory data to vet trucking companies.

    The Great Freight Awakening: Safety, Sovereignty, and the Future of Autonomous Trucking | Freight Expectations

    In this episode of Freight Expectations, Matthew Leffler and Craig Fuller dive deep into the "Great Freight Awakening" currently sweeping across the United States. As major media outlets like 60 Minutes turn their spotlight on the industry, the public is finally beginning to see the cracks in the facade of modern supply chains—from the manipulation of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) to the tragic reality of 5,000 truck-related fatalities every year. Craig and Matt explore the controversial but necessary conversation around American citizenship for trucking company owners, drawing parallels to the strict regulations found in the aviation and banking industries. They argue that without domestic accountability, bad actors—specifically foreign entities operating from overseas—can continue to defraud drivers and compromise highway safety with zero fear of criminal prosecution. ⁠Follow the Freight Expectations Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  4. Why Your “Best Driver” Is Actually Your Biggest Liability | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

    Why Your “Best Driver” Is Actually Your Biggest Liability | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

    In this Monday edition of What the Truck, host Malcolm Harris explores the critical intersections of safety culture and technological innovation in the logistics industry. Opening the show, Mike Fackler from Travelers joins the conversation to mark Distracted Driving Awareness Month, reframing distracted driving not just as a driver error, but as a symptom of leadership and organizational culture. Fackler emphasizes that true safety requires absolute accountability from the top down, noting that when leaders model poor behavior—such as taking calls while driving—it undermines the entire safety message. He argues that companies must move beyond simple awareness to consistent enforcement of clear policies to truly move the needle on road safety. We then shift the focus to the “broken” state of roadside repair with Alex Bezzubets, CEO of MyMechanic Inc.. Alex details his transition from firefighting to transportation entrepreneurship, driven by the realization that roadside assistance is currently plagued by a lack of connectivity and archaic manual processes. Through MyMechanic, He is building a digital ecosystem that aggregates service providers and provides real-time GPS visibility, allowing for a more efficient, “Uber-like” experience that leverages data to predict breakdown hotspots and reduce downtime. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Visit our sponsor - TRUCKSTOP⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

    Strait of Hormuz Shipping Risks, National Airlines' Boeing 777 Freighter Debut, and Declining Mexico Truck Exports | The Morning Minute

    We kick off this episode by looking at the air cargo sector, where ⁠National Airlines is preparing to launch its first Boeing 777-200 freighter⁠ into service this May. This new twin-engine aircraft offers a 112-ton payload and increased fuel efficiency for a market currently facing tightening widebody availability. Out on the water, experts warn that the ⁠Strait of Hormuz may remain restricted for six months or more⁠ even after the war concludes due to unmarked mines scattered in the waterway. These severe safety hazards have caused marine insurers to declare force majeure and drastically hike war risk premiums for commercial vessels. Finally, we head down to the border to examine how ⁠Mexico's heavy-duty truck exports experienced a noticeable decline⁠ during the month of March. This manufacturing contraction is directly tied to cautious fleet investments in the United States, which remains the dominant market for these outbound shipments. ⁠Follow the FreightWaves NOW Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

    The $287k VIN Hack & The “Super Ego” 60 Minutes Scandal | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?

    Is the logistics industry being blinded by the “shiny object” of AI while foundational security and revenue strategies crumble? Today on WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, we’re peeling back the curtain on a $287,000 “VIN hack” that exposed a massive gap in trailer identity and asset security. The 60 Minutes Fallout: We dive deep into the Super Ego defense statement following the explosive “Chameleon Carrier” segment. Is it a case of media misunderstanding, or a “My Cousin Vinny” style legal defense? Ed Burns (TruSygnal/Burns Logistics) joins us to break down why “disruption” is not a moral justification for cutting corners. The AI Death Trap: Eric Williams (Beagl Technologies) sounds the alarm on why chasing a 3% reduction in SG&A through AI is a losing game. We discuss why you should stop trying to “automate away” your staff and start focusing on “Quality of Revenue.” Plus: J.B. Hunt Q1 Reality Check: What the earnings report actually says about the state of the freight market. The 100-Year Carrier Secret: Why the most successful companies ignore the spot market noise. Freight Fraud Symposium: A preview of our upcoming event in Cleveland.

    UP-NS Merger Demands, Knight-Swift Q1 Guidance, & Uber Eats Retail Returns | The Morning Minute

    In this episode, we dive into the latest freight market shifts, starting with major shipper groups demanding transparency in the proposed mega-merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern. We discuss why these organizations are petitioning the Surface Transportation Board to unseal critical documents to better understand the true impact on freight rail competition. Next, we explore the truckload sector where the industry's largest player, Knight-Swift Transportation, has dialed back its first-quarter financial expectations. Despite severe winter weather and depressed spot rates dragging down margins, executive leadership remains highly optimistic about the long-term fundamentals of the market. Finally, we look at how the gig economy is tackling the multi-billion dollar headache of reverse logistics with Uber Eats' brand new retail returns feature. This innovative service allows consumers to easily return unwanted packages directly from their doorsteps, marking Uber's aggressive expansion into a comprehensive everyday logistics platform.
