This week on the Channel 19 Experience, we’re blowing the smoke off the stack and diving straight into a red, white, and blue mess of headlines and hard truths. It’s Independence Day weekend, and we’re talking freedom with responsibility—starting with a whiny UK article about American trucking policy that didn’t even make it out of first gear.
We break down freight fraud with real talk from brokers and dispatchers—Jason Rabine and Clint Larby expose the double-dealing dumpster fire that’s still burning on the load boards. Then in the Money Line, we dig into a 2011 FMCSA report showing that Limited English Proficiency drivers have higher crash and violation rates—and how California, of all places, practically ghosted enforcement.
And don’t miss our interview with Ryan Carraux from D&E Transport, the dispatcher wrangling Danger Dave and Mile Marker Mike. He shares what it’s like on the ops floor, how dispatchers survive the madness, and who he’d bet on when it really counts (spoiler: somebody’s feelings are gonna get hurt).
Grab a hot dog, hit that Jake brake, and tune in—because freedom ain’t free, and trucking sure as hell ain’t easy.
