WHAT THE TRUCK?!? | Kicking it with Kevin!
from FreightCasts · host FreightWaves
On this Friday edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, host Malcolm Harris is in Chattanooga breaking down the week’s biggest headlines and talking with industry titans. First, we dive into the FMCSA’s new emergency rule that immediately restricts the issuance of non-domiciled CDLs. Then, we cover President Trump’s new tariffs targeting heavy trucks and other goods, which could lead to higher costs for imported trucks and parts. Other topics include Volvo making side curtain airbags a standard feature on all new North American models and a CDL testing scam in Massachusetts. This episode features two incredible guests: Kevin Nolan: Founder of Nolan Transportation Group (NTG) and the mastermind behind OTR Solutions, Marquee Insurance, PayHawk, and Sope Creek Capital. Kevin joins Malcolm in the studio to discuss everything from building a business and evolving with the industry to their shared love for Atlanta hip-hop. Kevin also gives a preview of the epic after-parties planned for the F3: Future of Freight Festival, including specialty cocktails, an 80s cover band, and live midget wrestling. Brandon Wiseman: President of Truck Safe Consulting. Brandon provides an expert legal breakdown of the FMCSA’s emergency rule on non-domiciled CDLs. He clarifies that while there are an estimated 200,000 such CDL holders, the rule will likely impact a smaller percentage by narrowing eligibility criteria.
