Rob Carpenter

If you missed the @CBSNews segment on brokers today you can find it here cbsnews.com/live/. I'm sharing the whole thing because you need to hear the whole thing. While I consulted on and did the undercover interview a lot goes into these and Michael Kaplan did an awesome job, @GenLogs again played a huge role. At the end of the day we have dangerous highways because we have non existent or very limited barriers to entry. At the end of the day there are consequences of this that we must focus on like Delilah Coleman and her family. Marcus also did great in this segment. This is what we're fighting for. Highway accident mitigation through appropriate barriers to entry, and licensing standards among so many other things. Brokers are a part but they're not the only part.

@EOSTrucking @TQLogistics 😂

Good Morning @TQLogistics #tutashexpresscarrieroftheyear

If you don't follow @CierraReporter in Indy of @NBCNews @WTHRcom, you're missing out. She is also working on the Chameleon Carrier issue on the Journalism side, and she dropped a good report last night on the Indiana Sam Express AJ Partners crash. I'm on with @TrucksafeLLC and I appreciate her work and her time. Anything I can be in the same video report on with my friend Steve Bryan, or Bluewire, I'm taking advantage of. @GenLogs is also covered here, in all its glory, as I showcase photos of how many shippers and brokers were still shipping with Sam Express and AJ Partners even after the crash. wthr.com/article/news/i…

@AnnetteRMC Good question

@RobCarpenter Was this during the walkout protest?

Yesterday in Goldsboro, NC, a school bus hit a 7.5-foot bridge carrying Dillard Charter Academy students. 9 kids on board. 6 were transported to the hospital. Driver airlifted. 20.3 million kids ride school buses every day in America. 108 people die in school bus crashes every year. 13,200 get injured. The bus is still the safest option.

@FreightWaves Every year the bad carriers hide out🙌

Roadcheck Week is coming, and it could shake up the freight market. Craig Fuller explains on the State of Freight Webinar why it could make already high rejection rates tick up a few more percentage points.

🚨ONE YEAR OF THE TRUCKING CRACKDOWN 🚨 @SecDuffy says: “The trucking industry has been allowed to operate like the Wild, Wild West for far too long. We’ve brought back common-sense rules of the road… and we’re just getting started.” 🇺🇸💪 breitbart.com/border/2026/05…

@garrett_makes @WhiteSmoke Yeah man it worked didn't work the first few times but it worked today I just did it yesterday

@RobCarpenter @WhiteSmoke IT WORKS?! I honestly gave up waiting on some of mine.

Somebody finally gave it up. I got my name back...@whitesmoke is officially retired and back to the old-school @RobCarpenter handle.

ONE YEAR of taking on the TRUCKING INDUSTRY! 🚚 ✅ 20,000 drivers REMOVED for not meeting English-speaking standards ✅ 28,000 illegally issued licenses REVOKED nationwide ✅ 6,800 non-compliant training providers REMOVED from the @FMCSA registry And we will not stop making sure YOU are SAFE on America’s roads 🇺🇸

Today's show is Free-Form Friday on @TruckingSense and we are kicking it off with @SecDuffy from @USDOT and @BarrsDerek of the @FMCSA ... Tune in at 3pm est for your daily dose of @TruckingSense on @SIRIUSXM channel 146 @RoadDogTrucking

@iamyesyouareno I 100% thought this was a trucking company post

The absolute state of Canada.

@dcryansnyder @POTUS @SecDuffy @FreightWaves @BarrsDerek Thank you sir

@robcarpenter @POTUS @SecDuffy @FreightWaves @BarrsDerek Great article Rob!

On April 28, 2025, @POTUS signed the executive order to Enforce Commonsense Rules of the Road for America’s Truck Drivers backed by @SecDuffy and team. Wednesday was the one-year anniversary. Monday, our @FreightWaves interview with @BarrsDerek goes out as we talk about year one success and lessons, and where we go in year two. freightwaves.com/news/how-an-ex…

Good morning Virginia! Trash company: "Service will be disrupted until the bill is paid." Also the trash company 👉 (Vehicles crash into buildings 100+ times per day in the US. 36,500 per year. About 16k Americans injured and more than 2,500 are killed annually in vehicle/building crashes)

@GordMagill @POTUS @SecDuffy @FreightWaves @BarrsDerek This will be my opening question. "From the desk of @GordMagill."

@robcarpenter @POTUS @SecDuffy @FreightWaves @BarrsDerek Looking forward to watching this, thanks. When do the equipment seizures start?

This is the industry we created with bottom dollar rates, low wages, imported labor. Everybody sees the act. Not everybody sees the system behind it. ATRI says drivers are detained 117 to 209 hours per year depending on mode. That pressure along with cheap rates and cheap competition and cheap labor has turned US drivers into machines instead of people just to compete. Not excusing this just explaining why it should concern you.

@Brick_Suit They have also been paid for like one week this entire year on time

These are TSA agents standing against the wall. They are only there to perform the hand screening of the items the guests are carrying into the venue. Thats all they do (SS does metal detectors). They are unarmed. It's understandable that they fled. Don't get mad at them.

A driver with a Russian CDL hauling a quadruple brokered load for a chameleon carrier owned by a Russian group, killed a father of 3. One of my many expert witness cases closing out in highway accident litigation. This isn't rare. Drove the truck at night using flashlights as makeshift lights. Import 3rd world, you get 3rd world. Especially for safety-sensitive roles. @USPS starts its non-domiciled CDL ban again today. Broker accountability ruling in a month. Both worthy of note after this case. @USDOT @FMCSA
