  • “Brokers and Carriers are Saying the Same Thing. We're Just Speaking a Different Language.”

    “Brokers and Carriers are Saying the Same Thing. We're Just Speaking a Different Language.”
    Nov 6 2025

    OOIDA has long been leading the fight for more broker transparency, so when executive vice president Lewie Pugh made the trip to Orlando last month for the Broker Carrier Summit, he knew the issue would come up. And it did, because Lewie made sure it did. And as a result, summit founder Dan Lindsey said some misunderstandings were cleared up, which is the whole point of the Broker Carrier Summit – narrowing the divide between brokers and carriers. Dan and Lewie explain how that ends up benefitting the industry as a whole.

    Calls for Stronger Driver Training Standards Grow Louder

    With the Trump administration cracking down on English-language proficiency and non-domiciled CDLs, there’s an important issue at the very center of the conversation: driver training. Lots of folks are doing it right – but too many are not – which is what led us to reach out to a group that’s making sure its members do it right, the Commercial Vehicle Training Association. Executive Director Andrew Poliakoff and Chairman of the Board Jeff Burkhardt joins us to talk entry-level driver training standards, CDL mills, the Training Provider Registry and more.

  • Well That’s Concerning…

    Well That’s Concerning…
    Nov 4 2025

    The American Transportation Research Institute is out with its annual Top Industry Issues report, and a few new issues cracked the top 10. But what might strike you is the difference between what motor carriers are concerned about and what truck drivers are concerned about. They don’t exactly line up. ATRI President Rebecca Brewster said there’s a lesson there, one that carriers would do well to learn.
