  • The show about freight

    There are few freight shows that get how to have fun and how to make these concepts relatable. This show isn’t one of them. It’s not just a great show about supply chain, it’s simply a fantastic podcast in general. The guy who doesn’t like the enthusiasm sleeps in dirty underwear under a wet blanket.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why 20,000 Mexican Truckers Just Lost Their Visas
Q: What are the broader implications of the visa crackdown for freight costs and labor markets?
They discuss the supply-demand effects on freight costs, noting how reduced availability of Mexican drivers could push up rates and intensify competition for domestic labor while pressuring US carriers to adjust networks.
Why 20,000 Mexican Truckers Just Lost Their Visas
Q: What is the scope of the visa revocations and what does it mean for US-Mexico cross-border trucking?
The hosts explain the revocations pertain to Mexican drivers over cabotage violations, totaling tens of thousands of drivers over the period, and reflect enforcement efforts to prioritize domestic jobs while maintaining safety and regulatory standards.
The $1,300 Brake-Check Scam: How Fraud Rings Are Forcing Nuclear Verdicts on Fleets
Q: What is the biggest investment you would advise for fleet managers to make right now?
Maintenance and keeping up with maintenance is the most critical investment, followed by driver education to ensure vehicles are operated correctly and efficiently.
Amazon Just Lost to the Teamsters: Inside the NLRB Ruling
Q: What is driving the momentum behind RNG adoption in fleets, and how does it compare to traditional diesel in practical terms?
Chad Lindholm explains that RNG provides diesel-like performance with emissions reductions, a reliable fueling network, and total cost of ownership advantages, making it a viable upgrade path for fleets without sacrificing productivity or quality of service.
Why Professional Drivers Are Demanding MORE In-Cab Surveillance
Q: How do you balance driver privacy with the visibility that cameras and monitoring provide?
There are controls like turning off cameras, blurring faces, and data staying within the cab; the aim is to enhance safety and driver well-being while giving fleets the tools to act on risk and defend themselves in discovery processes.
