Take a look back on 2018 and, viewed through the lenses of time and the myriad of conversations and voices heard on the Overdrive Radio podcast, 2018 might well be dubbed the year of ticky-tack and more serious issues related to the implementation of, what else, the electronic logging device mandate. Owner-operators’ adjustments in light of that rule, which started being enforced in a significant way on April 1 of 2018, ride over almost the entirety of the top 10 most-listened to episodes here, including some mailbag rounds of callers’ messages on related issues that very nearly made the top 10 themselves. Excerpts here from all 10, in bottom to top order. Also a repeated theme: Focus shifting to or continuing on for many independents in the audience to the occasionally fraught, and often challenging, relationship with freight partner brokers. A big part of that is contractual games brokers have played for years, occupying No. 3 and No. 2 slots.
