The unwillingness to be self-deprecating is one of the strongest predictors that someone will be a bad leader.
The biggest misconception I see in freight brokerage pricing is that you're competing against the most sophisticated competition to win shipper bids. In reality, you're competing against your dumbest competitors who either don't know or don't care about market dynamics and will…
Rates are struggling to stay above prior year. No surge in volume after the government reopened or heading into Thanksgiving next week. I'm tired, boss.
It’s a bad day to be a Bruin at Neyland North. Go Bucks !!!
UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava will not play in tonight’s game against Ohio State due to a concussion, according to On3’s Brett McMurphy. 11w.rs/4r0bnZz
Those in favor of abolishing or severely restricting non-domicile CDLs should be furious with the utter ineptitude of Duffy's DOT/FMCSA administration. There was another order from the courts yesterday in regards to the interim final rule regarding non-domicile CDLs. The tl;dr…
The first major legal challenge to the new non-domicile CDL policy has gained an early win.
DOT's new emergency rulemaking looking to push 200,000 non-domiciled CDL drivers out of trucking has been paused by the U.S. Court of Appeals D.C. Circuit overdriveonline.com/15771493
We're now several months into the ELP, non-domicile CDL, and trucking immigration policy shifts. I know that a lot of folks are talking about potential impacts and sizing the population of drivers that could be removed from the market. That being said, the impact thus far can…

For the month of October 2025, national dry van spot rates (excluding fuel) were up ~2.5% versus the prior year. Not great, not terrible.
If you can rationalize one child going hungry based on even the most egregious SNAP abuse, you are a bad person. Thanks for coming to my Friday Ted Talk. Go Bucks.
Dry van spot rates are up ~$0.05/mile (+2.5%) nationally YoY and have been holding steady at those levels. For context, last year rates were up ~$0.10/mile (+6.5%) per mile YoY during the same time period. For additional context, at the same time in 2020 rates were up…
I posted yesterday about the national rate trends, but wanted to dig in at the lane level today. This sample is a comparison of spot rates on lanes >250 miles with significant liquidity. I compared the market rate yesterday with two weeks ago. In total, there were about 2000…
The truckload rate rally is losing quite a bit of steam. It's starting to feel more and more like a roadcheck week type event. I think that next couple of weeks are going to indicate the permanence and overall impact of the immigration policy changes.
