There Is NO Truck Driver Shortage—Here's the Real Problem
In this episode of Freight Expectations, Craig Fuller, Max, and transportation attorney Matt Leffler challenge one of the trucking industry's biggest myths. They explain why the issue isn't a lack of drivers, but poor compensation, high turnover, and decades of structural changes that have reshaped the freight industry. The conversation expands into the growing shortage of diesel technicians, why skilled trades may be the safest careers in the age of AI, and whether America has undervalued blue-collar work for too long. The team also breaks down several major U.S. Supreme Court decisions, including what they could mean for federal agencies, executive power, transportation policy, and the future of regulation.

Should Amazon Buy Forward Air? Plus Freight Fraud, Insurance Reform & Trucking’s Safety Reckoning
Amazon’s expansion into the LTL market is raising big questions across the transportation industry. In this episode, Craig Fuller, Tom Albrecht, and attorney Matt Leffler examine why Forward Air could be a strategic acquisition target for Amazon and what such a move would mean for carriers, brokers, and shippers. The conversation explores Forward Air’s unique airport-to-airport network, the controversial Omni Logistics merger, and the legal battles that reshaped one of freight’s most closely watched companies. The panel also breaks down Amazon’s growing logistics ambitions and whether it can successfully build or buy its way into the LTL sector. Beyond M&A, the discussion turns to trucking safety, insurance requirements, freight fraud, FMCSA reforms, and the industry's ongoing struggle with outdated regulations. The hosts analyze proposed safety initiatives from the Truckload Carriers Association, debate higher insurance minimums, and discuss why stronger oversight of CDL training, ELD certification, and carrier registration could reshape the trucking landscape.
