Washington spent a year threatening states over truck safety enforcement. Here’s who we give millions to for trucking enforcement and how they spend it across million inspections.
The groundbreaking Montgomery case will head back to the federal district court where it began.
On July 3, 2026, President Trump pardoned early a dozen people who were convicted under the Clean Air Act for tampering with diesel emissions, months after the Justice Department stopped prosecuting diesel cases entirely. The technology is still bolted to every truck on the road, and nobody in Washington wants to discuss the “what now” of who pays for it.
A driver rounds a curve on a dark rural road and sees a woman standing near the fog line, head shaved, wearing nothing but a beach towel, no other car or person anywhere in sight. Something is wrong. He acts. That woman turns out to be a human trafficking victim, and because a truck driver […]
Idaho has become the latest U.S. state to eliminate non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses.
You can run loads consistently, work with solid brokers, and still feel pressure every week because most invoices take 30, 45, or even 60+ days to get paid. That delay is exactly why freight factoring has become one of the most widely used financial tools for owner-operators and small fleets. It’s the fastest way to […]
The bipartisan CORCA bill passed the House with overwhelming support, but a growing debate over cargo theft data has followed it to the Senate. Critics question whether documented losses justify a larger federal response, while supporters argue the current reporting system misses much of the problem.
Why Choosing the Right Insurance Agent Can Make or Break a Trucking Company Most trucking companies think about insurance only when the bill comes due or after an accident. But according to Jessica Howington of United Commercial Insurance, that way of thinking can cost carriers far more than money. “The biggest mistake people make is […]
The TQL-Pink Cheetah broker transparency case will hear oral arguments in September.
If you’re running loads consistently but waiting 30, 45, or 60 days to get paid, freight factoring becomes less of a luxury and more of an operational necessity. But before using it, there’s a straightforward question every carrier asks: What does freight factoring actually cost—in real dollars? This guide breaks it down without fluff. No vague […]
Indiana police arrested a California truck driver after recovering nearly $2.9 million worth of tungsten oxide powder that authorities say was stolen in Pennsylvania. Police allege the driver used fraudulent documents to obtain the shipment, which was headed to Japan.
Some carriers see it as a practical tool to keep cash flow moving. Others associate it with high costs, confusing agreements, chargebacks, or bad experiences with companies that were not clear from the beginning. And that is the real issue. In many cases, the problem is not factoring itself. The problem is how factoring has […]
The benchmark price used for most fuel surcharges fell for the eighth straight week.
In the span of five days, three tractor-trailers were struck by CSX freight trains in metro Atlanta. The trucks were destroyed. Fires broke out in each case. By something close to luck, no one was killed. That cluster is worth every owner-operator’s attention, not because Atlanta is uniquely dangerous, but because the same scenario repeated […]
From July 12 to July 18, 2026, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance runs Operation Safe Driver Week across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and for those seven days the number of officers watching for unsafe driving goes up sharply.

A Montana man received a 41-month federal prison sentence after admitting he transported more than $181,000 in stolen construction equipment from Montana to Idaho.
When most people think about transportation collections, they picture an agency making phone calls to recover overdue freight invoices. While recovering unpaid invoices remains the foundation of the business, today’s transportation collections industry has evolved into something much larger. Fraud, broker failures, double brokering, compliance issues and increasingly complex legal disputes have transformed collections into […]
For years, commercial trucking insurers have encouraged fleets to participate in telematics programs by offering premium discounts in exchange for access to electronic driving data. Programs that once focused primarily on rewarding safe driving have gradually become an increasingly important part of commercial underwriting. Progressive Commercial’s Smart Haul program has been one of those initiatives, […]
A claim is circulating that stops you mid-scroll: a California small fleet can now buy a Tesla Semi for as little as $50,000. The Tesla Semi carries a $290,000 sticker. The post lays out how two California incentive programs stack to knock $240,000 off that price, leaving a net cost of roughly $50,000, which it […]
