Brett is a 22 year old trucker from Central Florida, living in Tennessee now. I came across Brett on my fyp on tiktok where I he was sharing his disdain for lumper services, so I thought why not talk about it a little bit more!

Brett talks about his journey into trucking which is a remarkable story that includes the birth of his child WHILE he was in CDL School. We talk about some issues with new trucks, and journeys over the road!

Driver Eddie aka the Interstate Avocado comes on the show to talk his journey into the trucking industry. We go into some awesome detail regarding his CDL school experience, and what he has crammed into just over 3 years. From some horror stories at CRST to how he now works for an outfit that operates somewhat outside the rule of law. Eddie is a fantastic person, and driver who truly has a passion for the trucking lifestyle. This is an interview you don't want to miss.

Earlier this summer I made the goal of transitioning off OTR by at least this fall, or by next summer. Getting backed into back in May essentially expedited that process. The time has come for me to get off the road, and I will be selling my truck. The first reason is family, and the second is truly the market. I got into business to grow something, not fight for the status quo.

Unfortunately for the ATA and the establishment, I'm not going anywhere. I'll still be working in transportation, AND in fitness. So they should still check under their beds at night before they go to sleep.

This was a hard episode for me to record, and I probably left out some things I wanted to say, but oh well! There is some raw emotion here, and I think that's what listeners, and our country deserve more of, authenticity.

Justin Martin from Freightwaves comes back on the show so we can talk about a new piece of legislation being introduced in the house that once again misses the mark on how problems need to be addressed in the trucking industry.

Also, apparently SWIFT Transport has drivers send a qualcomm message for every time they back up?

That and more freight nerd banter.

Yellow officially fired for bankruptcy and their CEO has done nothing but play the blame game.

A new interview has been out with damning first hand experience regarding the Afghan withdraw.

I go into why accountability and extreme ownership matter.

I also explain the meaning behind my brands slogan, and how it's a mentality that can you can apply to how you adapt to life's challenges.

Lora Andela, true to her name, is 5'3" and corrals bulls and other livestock and hauls them back and forth around the country. Aligned with New York's history she is of Dutch descent, and was raised in upstate New York near Cooperstown. Homeschooled by her parents she got into college and soon realized maybe this wasn't the path for her and trucking got into her mind. Her story is a fascinating one from hauling a milk tanker, meeting her boyfriend organically and not through a social media app, to now doing one of the toughest and most essential jobs in the freight industry.

The lesson in her story is to always make sure you teach yourself how to teach yourself, and to not let the distractions of the world or the validation of others stop you from doing whatever you want

I was driving today and had some raw material floating around my head that I felt like I needed to say. Yellow's absence from the media didn't sit right with me. I'm looking to contact Rep Colin Allred to come on the show and talk transportation as he is running for Senate against Ted Cruz.

I show some of my vulnerability in how I struggled with not being my true authentic self, and why we need to rally around each other.

I close with a great quote and remarks on why we are all truly born perfect.

- Waymo takes a huge L and is sidelining autonomous trucks

-Laredo is the largest land port in North America and is set to get even bigger. US Sen Ted Cruz has put together a coalition of TX politicians to help expedite the expansion of the World Trade Bridge as well as construct three more.

-Heartland Express and CFI are doubling down on the CDL Milling Industrial complex and I go scorched Earth on why this is important.

Recorded LIVE from Laredo, TX, the nail is in the coffin for Yellow. A leaked memo posted by Freightwaves says Yellow has stopped new shipments and will be having a company meeting on Friday. There is just no coming back, so I give my take on their final round up, and why the can was kicked to alleviate the strike.

Also got my first boost of clout on the internet as a "Course seller" who calls himself G Face posted a response over the weekend to a video I made about him four months ago where I call him a fraud. I pick apart his response and really peel back the layers of the onion on how the systems in place for our supply chain have failed and have compromised it. Mainstream media remains silent on this because in reality, the ATA enjoys that it's happening because it destroys small business to they can assume their quest for total control.
