Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Keynote: Jesse Elison, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | FFS26
Q: Jesse, as the Deputy Administrator of the FMCSA, you have the opportunity to really talk about the major issues. You have an illegal and compliance background. How is FMCSA looking at fraud right now and what fronts are you addressing?
FMCSA is actively addressing fraud on multiple fronts, within the authority it has, while recognizing that some criminal acts lie outside its jurisdiction. They are pursuing enforcement, modernization of registration (MODIS), improved data sharing, and tighter controls on chameleon carriers, with continued collaboration across agencies to address cross-border and interstate dimensions of fraud and safety.
Why Professional Drivers Are Demanding MORE In-Cab Surveillance | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?
Q: Johan, from your perspective, what is the biggest challenge fleets are facing today with the current mix of technology and risk?
The biggest challenge is balancing visibility with driver privacy while leveraging AI to reduce accidents, manage cargo security, and address rising costs like fuel and nuclear verdicts; the industry needs trusted, scalable solutions that can be deployed broadly to actually change operations.
The Trucking Bloodbath Isn't Over. It's Just Changing Victims. | Brake Check
Q: What does Drayage-focused growth look like and how did KTI scale before and during the pandemic?
The company found its niche in drayage, built long-term carrier and customer relationships, and expanded wallet share within trusted Fortune 100 accounts, which enabled scalable growth without chasing every market opportunity.
Why Your “Best Driver” Is Actually Your Biggest Liability | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?
Q: What does good leadership look like in preventing distracted driving from the top down?
Leadership should communicate expectations clearly, model appropriate behavior, and involve themselves in enforcement to prevent a drift where drivers feel special treatment is acceptable; the goal is a culture where safe practices are the norm even when no one is watching.
Why Your “Best Driver” Is Actually Your Biggest Liability | WHAT THE TRUCK?!?
Q: Mike, you work closely with transportation leaders on safety, culture, and risk. Where do we get started with this?
He emphasizes establishing clear policies, consistent enforcement, and leadership modeling the right behavior; accountability should be universal and not allow exceptions for top performers, as that undermines safety culture.
