  • Should I Panic?
    Mar 25 2026

    Should I Panic?

    The US supply chain faces ongoing volatility from global conflicts, intensified regulatory pressures, & persistently low freight volumes. Escalating Middle East tensions, including US-Israel strikes on Iran & related disruptions, have delayed any large-scale return of container shipping to the Red Sea, forcing rerouting around Africa, higher surcharges, & increased costs for energy, commodities, & imports.

    Domestically, freight demand remains subdued after 2025's tariff-driven front-loading, with containerized imports softening, trucking & rail volumes depressed, & spot rates mixed amid weather impacts & regional capacity tightness.

    With all of that said, I asked two of the brightest minds in freight, Jason Miller of the Michigan State University - Eli Broad College of Business & Ken Adamo of DAT Freight & Analytics to join the Armchair Attorney® Podcast to help me answer the age old question: "Should I Panic?"

  • FMCSA Final Rule and ‘Dalilah’s Law’ target CDL eligibility
    Mar 19 2026

    The U.S. government took two big steps to fix problems with truck drivers who live outside the country. One is a new rule from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Restoring Integrity to the Issuance of Non-Domiciled Commercial Drivers Licenses (CDL), which tightens rules on who can hold a commercial driver’s license.

    The other, Delilah’s Law, is a new Senate bill that proposes even stricter nationwide changes. The bill is named after Dalilah Coleman who was five years old in June 2024 when she was critically injured in a multi-car pileup in Adelanto, California. The crash was caused by an 18-wheel tractor-trailer driven by Partap Singh, an Indian national who had entered the U.S. illegally in 2022.

    Both moves come after deadly crashes and widespread state noncompliance, and they could reshape the pool of available drivers for fleets. Here is an article I wrote that was recently published with Freightwaves.

  • ACT Research 74th Commercial Seminar: Law & Insurance
    Mar 9 2026

    Who would have guessed that a panel about law & insurance would electrify the attendees at ACT Research Co.?

    I, for one, expected it.

    For 40 years, ‪ACT Research Co. has brought the trucking industry together to anticipate change and chart its future. What's more, ACT Research Co. recently hosted its 74th Market Vitals: The Current & Future Health of the Industry Seminar in Columbus, IN. The event marked a special milestone of 40 years delivering commercial vehicle and freight market intelligence to the industry.

    On the third panel of the day, ol' Armchair Attorney® brought some sizzle. It's easy to do that when you share the stage with the likes of Thom Albrecht, Chief Revenue Officer at Reliance Partners; Anthony Johnson, President at Marvin Johnson & Associates, and the imperturbable Timothy Denoyer as our esteemed moderator. We covered insurance and litigation pressures in the freight market. But so much more! We discussed the latest issues regarding non-domiciled CDLs, nuclear verdicts, IEEPA, and motor carrier insurance.
