    Trucking Insurance Costs Soar, Echo Broker Case Remanded, & Rail Safety Bill Advances | The Morning Minute

    22/05/2026 | 3min
    In this episode, we kick things off by examining the brutal reality of commercial trucking insurance as premiums have surged at double the rate of inflation while insurers themselves operate deep in the red. The American Transportation Research Institute documents an average annual premium increase of eight point three percent between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty-five, with smaller fleets bearing the heaviest burden at a staggering twenty point three cents per mile.

    Next, we explore the seismic shift in broker liability law as a major case previously won by Echo Global Logistics has been sent back to a lower court following the Supreme Court's landmark Montgomery decision. This unanimous ruling opens the door for brokers to be held liable for negligent hiring, and plaintiff attorneys are already aggressively screening catastrophic trucking cases for broker involvement at intake.

    Finally, we shift over to the rails to discuss the fierce battle over a Trump-backed safety measure as the Association of American Railroads slams the Railway Safety Act's inclusion in a major transportation funding bill. The legislation mandates two-person crews and stronger inspections, prompting railroad leaders to call out what they describe as hypocrisy for locking yesterday's operating models into federal law while simultaneously creating a framework for autonomous trucks.

    Drivers Aren’t Leaving Trucking… They’re Leaving YOU | Brake Check

    21/05/2026 | 52min
    The trucking industry keeps talking about a “driver shortage”…

    But what if the real problem is the industry itself?

    On this episode of Brake Check, Charles Gracey dives headfirst into the recruiting and retention crisis ripping through trucking right now — why drivers are leaving, why some fleets can’t keep seats filled, and why the companies winning in 2026 are doing things very differently than the rest of the industry.

    We also tackle the shifting legal and operational pressure hitting freight as carriers, brokers, and fleets try to survive one of the most volatile eras trucking has seen in years.

    Featuring:

    Tim Norlin from ⁠Roehl Transport⁠

    David Lowry from ⁠Bennett Family of Companies⁠

    The truth about the “driver shortage”

    Why trucking struggles to retain drivers

    The recruiting tactics fleets still get wrong

    Why lead-gen culture changed trucking

    Flatbed demand & the freight market outlook

    The growing pressure on brokers and carriers

    What fleets MUST do to survive the next phase of trucking

    Topics include:

    No fluff.

    No corporate spin.

    Just real trucking talk for real trucking people.If you’re a driver, carrier, broker, dispatcher, recruiter, or fleet owner… this is the conversation the industry needs right now.

    Freight Doesn’t Kill Most Carriers — Cash Flow Does | The Long Haul

    21/05/2026 | 31min
    Most trucking companies don’t fail because freight disappears.

    They fail because cash flow breaks first.

    In this episode of The Long Haul Podcast, Adam sits down with Michael Bunton to discuss one of the most overlooked realities in trucking: cash flow management.

    Michael’s background is unique — from professional baseball with the Chicago Cubs organization to human performance coaching before entering transportation finance and working directly with small carriers across the Southeast.

    This conversation breaks down:

    Why profitable carriers still go out of business

    The dangerous cash flow cycle many small fleets ignore

    Why emotional decision-making destroys margins

    The hidden operational costs small carriers overlook

    What owner-operators misunderstand about factoring

    And why discipline matters more than revenue

    This episode is not about promoting factoring.

    It’s about understanding how trucking businesses survive.
