From freight market headwinds to the scent of slow-smoked brisket in the backyard, Episode 25 delivers a full plate. We kick things off with a profit calculator comparison, dig into English Language Provision enforcement, and look at a rail merger that could shake up lanes. Then we ease into a Money Line that connects patience, timing, and Kawanna’s brisket to trucking economics. Finally, my co-pilot of over 20 years jumps on the mic for some laughs, memories, and a taste of her perspective on our mutual trucking lives.
