The 2026 International Roadcheck is hitting the highways from May 12–14. With a national out-of-service rate sitting at 22%, expect massive parking as drivers choose to take a break rather than face the inspection blitz. Full episode: vist.ly/535e3

Another angle of the UA 767 that hit a truck on approach to Newark in Sunday. Man, had they gone a LITTLE bit lower it would have been catastrophic.😳😳 Very curious on how the inquiry will follow

[NEWS] German automakers are absorbing a bigger tariff hit: Trump is raising EU auto tariffs from 15% to 25%, reversing a deal struck just last year. Volkswagen Group already absorbed a $4.7 billion tariff hit in 2025. Bernstein Research says the extra 10 points could cost German carmakers another $3.05 billion in operating profit. Audi and Porsche U.S. retail sales already dropped 30% and 12%, respectively, in Q1 before this escalation. The Takeaway: Import-heavy luxury brands could face higher costs AND softening demand. Dealers carrying Audi or Porsche inventory should prepare for pricing pressure and potential supply shifts now.

Lucid has just reported its Q1 2026 earnings results. • Loss per share: -$3.46 vs -$2.64 expected • Revenue: $282M vs. $440M expected • Net loss: -$1 billion Lucid says it plans to adjust production, citing elevated vehicle inventories, which will likely mean reducing production output. “We ended the quarter with elevated inventory that we expect to convert to revenue and cash as deliveries normalize, while maintaining alignment between production and sales cadence. Our focus is on disciplined execution - driving structural cost improvements, managing capital efficiently, and improving operating leverage as we scale,” Lucid CFO Taoufiq Boussaid said.

🚨Honda is CANCELING it's $15B EV plant in Canada. The Honda plant was part of the failed $52B Liberal plan to shower manufacturers with subsidies to develop the industry here. Honda will make EVs and hybrids it needs in Ohio instead where it can do so on one production line.

[NEWS] Toyota is expected to post its fourth straight profit drop: Reports suggest a 27% operating profit decline for Q1, its fourth consecutive year-over-year drop. Full-year operating profit is projected to hit a three-year low of around 4 trillion yen ($25.4 billion). Supply chain exposure to Gulf oil imports is adding pressure, with aluminum and naphtha-derived inputs flagged as hard to absorb. "If the current situation in the Middle East continues, higher aluminium prices would be quite tough to absorb." Big picture: Four straight quarters of declining profit at Toyota signals real downstream risk for dealers. Tighter incentive budgets, higher input costs, and production adjustments could start hitting inventory flow within months.

The U.S Air Force’s VC-25B Bridge aircraft has officially completed modification and flight testing and is being painted, the USAF has said. The 747-8i Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) – donated by Qatar to the U.S. last year for use by Trump – is set to serve in the Air Force One role while the White House awaits the delayed delivery from Boeing of two fully-outfitted VC-25B Air Force One aircraft. "This program epitomizes what is possible when clear accountability is placed on one individual, and the entire enterprise of stakeholders aligns behind a single mission outcome … deliver a bridge capability as soon as possible to relieve pressure on the aging VC-25A fleet," said Gen. Dale White, Department of War direct reporting portfolio manager for Critical Major Weapon Systems.

Without brokers, small carriers will cease to exist and the mega carriers will get bigger and bigger. I think that’s the opposite of what small carriers want. Be careful what you ask for.
FreightCaviar 🚛@freightcaviar

Why getting rid of brokers would hurt small carriers—according to Steve Vest, Owner of Nationwide Equipment Transportation Inc. “I find it interesting that people want to cap brokers or get rid of them altogether. A lot of the conversations at the Broker-Carrier Summit were about the broker–carrier relationship and the value brokers bring to small carriers. Without brokers, many one- or two-truck operations wouldn’t exist. A lot of these carriers don’t want to handle sales or deal directly with shippers—they just want to run trucks. Brokers act as an extension of small carriers, helping them get access to freight and build relationships. The carriers who understand that and work with brokers tend to survive and grow. The ones who blame brokers for everything usually struggle because they’re not focused on building those relationships. Before deregulation, brokerages didn’t really exist, and the large carriers dominated. If brokers disappeared today, the big players would take over again. Small carriers would have a hard time competing on service and price or getting direct shipper access. What’s ironic is that the same people calling for transparency and caps on broker margins don’t see the bigger picture. More transparency is already benefiting the large carriers—they’re winning. The small guys are getting squeezed. So I don’t understand why anyone would want to go back to a system where the big players control everything.” From our latest 'Freight Gong Friday' Live episode, presented by OTR Solutions.

🚨META’S SMART GLASSES ARE RECORDING YOU IN YOUR MOST INTIMATE MOMENTS.. AND SENDING ALL OF IT TO WORKERS IN KENYA WHO WATCH EVERY SECOND.. THEN META FIRED 1,108 OF THEM FOR TALKING ABOUT IT.. Swedish journalists discovered that footage from Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses is being sent to a facility in Nairobi, Kenya.. Where workers manually watch and label everything the glasses capture.. Not AI watching.. Humans watching.. Over 30 workers confirmed what they see every day.. People in intimate situations.. People on the toilet.. People undressing.. Credit card numbers.. Banking passwords.. Private messages on phone screens.. All completely visible.. One worker said.. “I don’t think they know, because if they knew they wouldn’t be recording”.. Meta marketed these glasses as “built for your privacy”.. “You’re in control of your data and content”.. The AI features cannot function without sending your footage to Meta’s servers.. There is no local option.. If you use the AI.. Your private life leaves your device.. Swedish journalists visited 10 retail stores.. Every single sales rep incorrectly told customers all data stays on the phone.. Not one knew the footage goes to Kenya.. Meta claims face-blurring protects identities.. Workers say it barely works.. Faces fully visible in low light, fast movement, complex backgrounds.. People in your bedroom.. Fully visible.. To strangers making $1.50 an hour.. Workers said the facility was “saturated with content that could trigger enormous scandals if leaked”.. So the company put them under constant camera surveillance and banned personal devices.. Workers surveilled to prevent them from leaking the surveillance footage they were watching.. Then the investigation went public.. Meta terminated the entire contract.. Claimed Sama “didn’t meet our standards”.. Sama fired back.. “At no point were we notified of any failure to meet those standards”.. 1,108 Kenyan workers.. Fired.. Six days notice.. Labor activists called it retaliation.. “The workers who trained the AI saw everything.. Owned nothing.. And lost their jobs the moment they spoke about it”.. 55% of these workers report clinical distress.. 52% meet thresholds for major depression.. They earn $1.50 an hour.. Meta made $56.3 billion last quarter.. The head of the Data Labelers Association said it best.. “It is African Intelligence powering European intelligence.. Which they are now calling Artificial Intelligence”.. Meta has sold 7 million of these glasses.. Targeting 10 million by year end.. A class-action lawsuit has been filed.. Kenya’s courts ruled Meta can be sued directly.. 200 former workers are pursuing a $1.6 billion claim.. 7 million cameras on 7 million faces.. Sending everything to the cheapest labor market they can find.. And they called it “built for your privacy.”
