Is the trucking industry being pushed to the brink?On this episode of Brake Check, we dive straight into the issues drivers, carriers, and industry leaders are talking about but rarely hear addressed without filters.First, Gord Magill joins the show to break down the degradation of trucking as we know it and what he exposes in his new book about how the industry has evolved ...and not always for the better. From regulatory shifts to structural changes in the business of freight, we examine whether the foundations of trucking are quietly eroding.Then Shannon Everett of American Truckers United climbs into the cab to talk about something drivers across the country are watching closely: Delilah’s Law. We dig into what the legislation aims to accomplish, who is supporting it, who is opposing it, and what it could mean for the future of drivers in America. When policy, politics, and profit collide, who actually pays the price?Finally, Paul Gibson joins the conversation to bring it back to the people behind the wheel. While analysts and economists debate the freight cycle, drivers are living the reality every day. We talk about how drivers are feeling right now, what they’re seeing in settlements, and where the industry may be failing the very people who keep freight moving.This episode connects the dots between policy, freight economics, and the real-world impact on drivers and carriers. If you care about the future of trucking, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.Guests in this episode Gord Magill – Author and trucking industry analystShannon Everett – American Truckers UnitedPaul Gibson – Broker-Carrier Summit/ Host of the Freight BreakTopics Covered • The changing structure of the trucking industry• Delilah’s Law and trucking policy debates• Freight market swings and driver sentiment• The impact of politics and regulation on truckers• What carriers and the industry may be missingSubscribe for more conversations about trucking, freight markets, regulations, and the future of the industry.
