October 04, 2025 EPISODE 250: FIRE Without Fuel. Can AFFTRA Ignite Real Change or Will it Burn Down the Industry?
I got an email from Audrey Walleser, a PhD candidate in American Law and Policy who has 25 years of professional experience in constitutional law, political structure, statutory authority, and regulatory integrity. She had quite a bit to say about the Constitutionality of the AFFTRA and its goals to set minimum rates and driver pay in the Trucking industry. She is going to join me to walk through the civic process for movements like this and explain how to get things done through the government.

August 23, 2025 Episode 245: Does Landstar Take 35% of My Money?
It's been five years since we covered this topic in depth. When I made the first video, I did not have the experience and understand that I do now. We are going to go deep and provide an in depth breakdown of where the money comes from and how it is divided between the tractor, the trailer, the agents and Landstar. Don't miss this one. We are hopefully going to put this to bed once and for all.

August 09, 2025 EPISODE 243: TRUCKING BUSINESS STRUCTURES
I've had a lot of discourse on social media this week talking about taxes and business structure. It's been frustrating because there a lot of people that believe things that are simply and demonstrably untrue. We are going to talk about the BASICS of setting up a business, especially a Trucking business, and we are going to get the calculator out (Our friend the BSE9000) and let it speak for itself.
