I went out and toured one the the plaintiff's facilities in OK a few years ago. I was very suprised to learn how much spot freight they were booking from the big brokers. Infact they picked up a less than profitable lane we gave back to the broker which was weird as it was a losing lane.
And here it is. These motor carrier plaintiffs worked for a shipper & allegedly lost the business to TQL & CH. They argue they cannot service the account in a cost effective way, because the defendants allegedly use unsafe carriers. Spoiler: that’s not how RICO works

So worksites are now safe zones for illegal immigrants?
NEW: DHS says @ICEgov is not arresting illegal immigrants at worksites in Kansas— @SecMullinDHS saying, “ICE is not conducting worksite operations in Kansas. ICE law enforcement has conducted operations targeting heinous criminals including murderers, rapists, and drug traffickers and illegal aliens with final orders of removal.” This comes as livestock associations in Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma released a joint statement pushing back on workplace enforcement operations and local news outlets are reporting that “some businesses in southwest Kansas are shutting their doors temporarily this week as federal immigration agents make arrests.”

Imagine that. DAT is now going after shippers directly. It’s a bit ironic that brokers provide the data that powers the new tool, which could put ultimately hurt their business.

Reality sets in. He forgot to mention some things. Fuel prices continue to rise, as will operating costs. These costs will be passed back to shippers, who will then pass them on to manufacturers. They will then raise their prices on consumer goods to cover the increased freight costs. Consumers will have to eat these added costs. Politicians will argue over who is responsible, then use that to campaign. Then we will do it again next election cycle.
Here's what's gonna happen on October 1st. A few trucks will shut down. The naysayers will laugh and point their fingers. The fuel prices will stay high. A few smaller Owner Operators will not make it. It'll be business as usual. People will find something else to fight about. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Gas and diesel react to completely different global shocks: Gas spiked under Biden from post-COVID demand surges & the war in Ukraine. Diesel rose higher under Trump because Middle East tensions hit heavy crude refining hardest. But diesel spikes hit much harder: because trucking, farming, and shipping power the supply chain, rising freight costs force retailers to raise consumer prices across the entire economy. That means we all pay more

Gas and diesel are two different markets: • Gas spiked under Biden due to post-pandemic demand & Russian oil disruptions. • Diesel hit higher levels under Trump due to Middle East conflict squeezing heavy crude refining. Gas is passenger cars. Diesel is global freight.

I know DoorDash drivers are independent contractors, but shouldnt they still require the person driving to be here lawfully?
I am representing Wilbur - the man who was shot by ICE in Austin, TX while he was in the middle of a DoorDash delivery. The hospital refused to give his wife access to him or provide any meaningful details on his condition.

I need an ambulance now for standby events but damn, they are expensive.
A few weeks ago, I had an idea to start an event medical company that provides BLS- and ALS-level care at sporting events, festivals, and conventions in southeastern TN. I was more interested in developing my own ePCR system. The more I looked into the legalities, the more I realized it was a pretty decent business model for this area. Insurance costs weren't too nutty; I could build the tech myself, and plenty of EMTs and Medics are looking for side work, so I registered the company, bought the insurance, built the tech, and hired a medical director. I placed an ad and quickly built a roster of nearly 40 providers who are ready to work. I built an agent that finds the events and emails an intro to our company to the event director. The first 10 emails received 7 replies. The first 20 emails led to two booked events and a bunch of plans for next year. Crazy. Looks like I am getting back into the medical field.

It's funny. I spent a few hours this morning trying to build out a quote automation tool in one of my client's TMS systems and instead built a version of Front, but on steroids. Shared inbox, load and email tagging and filtering, load linking, customer history with each email and one click quoting, all inside the TMS. I pushed the feature to the client with the note...I got carried away.

There will be NO trucker shutdown... the people claiming there will be are simply doing it for engagement.

What?
Trump hasn't necessarily been on my good side lately but I'm going to say this. It sure looks like big oil and the Democrat party are working together to affect the midterms by price gouging gas and diesel prices. In reality, Diesel prices should be priced at a max $3.60. It's long past time to quit playing politics at the expense of the American people. That shows me and many others that this has nothing to do with the betterment of our country, but your need for power. You people are sick!
