Got the numbers for the Super Ego segment tonight. 10M+ and 2M on YouTube. There's more coming same topic, different shows, and multiple networks. If the industry makes enough noise as a whole, things begin to change. I've written articles on @FreightWaves that saw trash companies lose $2B in market cap in 20 minutes. You can literally just do things. Be loud enough about it to where the world, not just the industry demands change especially while we have an administration run by @SecDuffy and @BarrsDerek willing to drive real change.
Chameleon carriers are racking up safety violations, then evading enforcement by slapping a new name and federal ID on the truck. cbsn.ws/4cg87mc

At 70 mph, one 4-second football play = 411 feet driven blind. This driver had the game on a tablet on his dash. The carrier's record: phone violations, false logs, and drivers without valid CDLs or med cards. The trucking industry is systemically compromised. – at Hurst, TX

Why does society focus so much on airing driver failure but not on airing the carrier that selected, qualified, and hired the driver. Safer and Motus data are public because trucking effects everyones safety. So...why do we hide the trucks hiring and performing the worst? "Bow, NH. October 23, 2026, The Bow Police Department arrested a tractor-trailer driver on multiple charges after responding to a report of a commercial vehicle blocking Bow school buses at the bus parking lot at 12 Robinson Road in Bow. Officers responded to the reported incident and contacted the driver, who was ultimately determined to be driving while intoxicated. The driver refused to exit the tractor-trailer despite officers’ commands. Officers needed to remove the driver from the vehicle and took him into custody after a brief struggle. The driver was identified as: Edgar Ramirez 33 years old Odessa, TX During the investigation, officers located approximately 170 beer bottles inside the cab of the tractor-trailer. Several Hours earlier, the Bow Police Department was searching for this same tractor trailer after it was reportedly leaving a truck stop with an intoxicated driver. At that time, officers were not able to locate the truck. RAMIREZ was arrested and charged with the following offenses: Driving While Intoxicated – Subsequent Offense Open Container of Alcohol Resisting Arrest" – at Hurst, TX

Fun fact of the day... This address where Pullman Global Solutions and Andrejs Bradens are on the OFAC Russian Sanction list is shared with 👉577 carrier/broker DOTs list it as their address. 20 have active broker authority and 31 have active carrier authority. 👉8 ELD providers list Suite R or a PMB. FMCSA has revoked 5 of them. Plus: 👉300k businesses. 👉Texas Transgender Student Union – at Highland Springs, VA

Gracyns first time in main cab is a life lesson. She booked with the Amex companion ticket that put her in the nose bleeds. Her text to me from the back was, "leg room is a choice." Meanwhile I'm in the front. Free is never free. Even companion tickets cost you something. – at Sandston, VA

Next to IL and it's 4 of the last 10 governors who have gone to prison, VA is turning into another shady pay for policy corrupt state. – at Williamsburg, VA
Can you imagine someone going through security with $100k at the General Assembly building to pay the leader of the Senate in her legislative office so he could get on the list to get a retail cannabis license? Cash picture is an illustration of what $100k looks like in $100/bills.

What a difference a year makes on the highways. A lot is going on here in this one. 11k tire-related vehicle crashes occur each year in the US, and more than 600 people die in those crashes.

No way...fraud in the Serbian government?! Shocker! Any questions on how US trucking got to where it is today? One good place to start is the Serbian American Trucking PAC serbianamericanpac.com/
AMERIČKI EKONOMISTA SA UNIVERZITETA DŽONS HOPKINS STIV HENKI : Uoči izbora u nedelju, bivši predsednik Srbije Aleksandar Vučić suočava se sa optužbama za IZBORNU KRAĐU. Neke opštine imaju birački spisak sa 50% VIŠE imena nego što imaju punoletnih stanovnika. Kao viši savetnik vlade Markovića u tadašnjoj Jugoslaviji (1990–91), mogu da potvrdim da ovako nešto NIJE NIŠTA NOVO.

While feds chase the immigration papers of a congresswoman, records show the father of her children ran a Minneapolis trucking company that registered as a Medicaid ride provider, in the same program Minnesota now ranks among its 14 highest-risk for fraud.

Rental trucks were in 145 fatal crashes from 2005 to 2010, killing 177 people. 44% traced to the driver and 0% to the truck. No CDL. No training. Just $19.99 and go. – at Yorktown, VA

You should read this if you haven’t already.
According to the Islamic Center of Maineville, Ohio’s official website, Phoenix Cargo, LLC was tasked with overseeing the fundraiser initiative for its new mosque construction in the ‘New Motherland Maineville, Ohio’. (Image attached - this statement has since been removed from the site.) This video was taken in late 2025 by Phoenix Cargo, LLC’s OWN truck driver alleging that the trucking company is committing fraud and forcing its drivers to partake in the fraud. In the video, the driver shows a pile of truck signage that is used to swap the operating authority based on what dispatch relays to the drivers. I have also attached several images recently obtained from GenLogs proving that the SAME vehicle from the video is shown driving under MULTIPLE different MC authorities an entire year AFTER this video was taken. These images are from August of 2026. In other words, this vehicle is STILL partaking in these sign-swapping activities. I have also included the Phoenix Cargo driver’s statement from their public Facebook post below: “I have come to denounce a truck company called Phoenix Cargo. First, the recruiter named Susan contacted me and offered me a job, she went through all the processes with me. Then she made me go to the Ohio office at 2100 Chickasaw Dr, Circleville, OH 43113. When I arrived, they gave me a 525 truck and gave me 4 USDOT number sheets, which are from four different companies. Every time they send you a load, they also tell you which USDOT number you must put on the truck door, because they put a plastic sheet on the door where you can change the USDOT sheets whenever you want. When I came for a week, they told me that the truck I was driving was owned by someone else. They make me drive 24/24, they don’t want me to sleep, they manage the logbook, so I tell them I’m not involved in fraud, they don’t pay me, I work weeks and drive day and night. They make me drive long distances. I have all the proof of what I’m telling them. When they make me come to the premises to bring the truck, 5 people put me in the middle of them and threatened me. Please, I need your help, the company is working outside the law, abusing many drivers and putting the lives of many people in danger.” I was threatened with a ‘racism’ lawsuit for reposting this publicly available information. As an independent journalist, I believe that this activity must be investigated as I believe this situation poses a threat to the safety of the public on our roadways. @maybedanielleee @supertrucker @GordMagill @atutruckers @GabeGuidarini @lukerosiak @WeWillBeFree24 @MathewsforOhio @jenniferforrep @WarrenDavidson @WCProsFornshell @ChiefShughes @CptQshort @BarryKRiley1 @HamiltonTwpPD @WCSO_Ohio @OSHP

VA just sent out the "You can use dyed diesel..." notice after you call first and pay the tax. If Executive Directive 5 aims to reduce diesel costs for Virginia's farmers, truckers, and businesses, why does the DMV require payment of the state highway fuel tax, which normally accounts for much of the price difference between dyed and clear diesel? What measurable per-gallon savings does the Commonwealth expect operators to realize after paying the backup tax? I need to actually read more into their BS, but initially...I don't get it.

It's that time of year again for NDTA. If you're in Dallas next week it's a busy week but we will be there and there's a lot going on there's the Women in Trucking event but I will be at the NDTA fall meeting. If you'll be there hit me up. I think I am speaking Monday and Wednesday if you'll be there. – at Newport News, VA

Diesel emissions systems are killing trucking. Why are we giving $285M in grants to private bus companies to buy greener vehicles? $285M to First Student is insane. youpaidforthat.com/diesel

11 days to the election. For our election and PAC mapping, it's all about the trucks and highways: who is voting for whom, who's proposing laws, and who is paying for those votes. Before you vote, check your state and local crash rates and truck fraudsters by location. Then ask those running what they have done or what they intend to do to improve trucking and highway safety. Oil and gas and emissions votes are also in there. youpaidforthat.com/maps#dist…
