Fraud, Empty Bank Accounts & Broken Fleets: The Real State of Trucking in 2026
The spreadsheets say one thing. The bank accounts say another.
On Brake Check, we uncover what trucking companies really feel in 2026...fear, pressure, frustration… and in some cases, flat-out survival mode.
With Jessica Dotson from Triumph, we dig into the real emotional state of freight.
Then CloneOps.ai shows how voice AI may become the next big weapon against freight fraud.

Safety is slipping
Competency is being questioned
