Brake Check | Who Wins, Who Loses, and Who Pays the Price

This episode of Brake Check asks the question the trucking industry keeps dodging: Who actually benefits from the way this system is built, and who’s left paying the price? We kick things off with Tim Crawford, CEO of Tenstreet, breaking down the real people trends shaping trucking today. From hiring shifts and workforce pressures to what carriers and fleets need to be watching right now, Tim cuts through the noise and lays out what’s ahead in a freight market that’s anything but stable. Then we bring in Lewie Pugh, Executive Vice President of OOIDA, to tackle the growing disconnect between drivers and carriers. We dig into who benefits from that divide, what legislation is coming, and...most importantly...how drivers and small carriers can actually get involved instead of being talked over. And then we shift gears. Danielle Chaffin joins the show to expose a serious question facing the industry:  Why is the Department of Defense moving freight with non-domiciled drivers and unverified carriers and what does that mean for safety, security, and accountability? No pie charts. No PowerPoints. No sanitized narratives. This is real trucking talk with real trucking people...calling out broken systems, asking uncomfortable questions, and demanding accountability where it’s long overdue. If you care about the future of trucking, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss. Welcome to Brake Check. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
