1392. #TFCP - Scams & Sweeps: How the DOT is Cleaning Up the Freight Market!

In this episode, we'll discuss flatbed market trends where seasonal rate stability continues with predictable spikes tied to construction demand and higher weekend freight rates caused by carrier shortages, the FMCSA CDL training crackdown targeting hundreds of non-compliant schools, and why overall trucking capacity remains high with excess trucks still in the market despite enforcement efforts.

I also address the rising broker fraud risks, including lessons from the AGX Freight situation, why stronger vetting and accountability are critical for protecting carriers and shippers, the new non-domiciled CDL compliance rules, and what brokers and carriers must do now to stay compliant and competitive!
