1516. #TFCP - Multi-Generational Trucking: The Blueprint For A Lasting Freight Legacy!

from The Freight Coach Podcast

Welcome back to another heavy-hitting episode as Zach Meiborg of Meiborg Companies joins us to strip away the industry fluff and tackle the massive regulatory hurdles strangling our owner-operators and fleet operators! We dive straight into the rampant electronic logging device (ELD) fraud that is currently disrupting the trucking industry, detailing exactly how bad actors are gaming the system while the government turns a blind eye. Zach brings a straightforward perspective on why our archaic, 90-year-old Hours of Service (HOS) rules are the actual root cause of this mess and proposes a fiercely practical 14-on, 10-off schedule to instantly level the playing field and boost safe productivity. If you want to cut through the bureaucratic red tape and hear the unfiltered reality of the freight business and what it takes to survive and run a profitable business in today's cutthroat market, you can't afford to miss this conversation!   About Zach Meiborg Zach Meiborg is the Chief Executive Officer and Owner of Meiborg Companies, a Rockford, Illinois–based provider of asset-based trucking, warehousing, 3PL, oilfield, and fuel services.
