HOW TO PROFIT WHILE THE DOT PURGES THE GURUS

[00:00:03]Hey, hey, hey, it's Brian with DD214 Transport. Please like, subscribe, hit the little bell for notification. Hey guys.

[00:00:11]We are here. It's Wednesday night and we are live. Tonight we are connecting the dots for you.

[00:00:18]We're going to connect the dots that the steering wheel holders are going to completely miss and most people aren't even going to see.

[00:00:26]Right now, spot rates have shattered records jumping to an all-time high.

[00:00:33]The social media gurus screaming that it's easy money.

[00:00:41]But they are lying to you by admission.

[00:00:45]This boom isn't a fluke. It is a structural chokehold.

[00:00:51]The whip The Look, the the FMCSA has weaponized its new Motis registration system forcing a strict biometric identity checks via Login.gov and ID.me.

[00:01:09]And this is basically just set up to systematically slaughter these chameleon carriers and double broker rings.

[00:01:18]Well, it's catching everybody.

[00:01:21]So, combined with massive physical crackdown on the border the feds have forcibly yanked 40,000 40,000 non-compliant trucks off the interstates.

[00:01:38]But here's the fatal mistake they're making right now.

[00:01:44]Ignoring the broker accountability mandate.

[00:01:50]Due to recent regulatory action, brokers are now directly be for verifying the carriers they dispatch.

[00:02:01]So, they got to make sure you have an impeccable safety score.

[00:02:07]Now, tonight I'm exposing the exact map on why this federal purge has triggered the spot make uh spot market reset and how to profit while the amateurs run straight into a compliance strict uh trap.

[00:02:28]So, look, if you're interested in the trucking industry, and particularly hotshot trucking, like, subscribe, and hit the little bell for notifications, and leave a comment down below.

[00:02:40]Let me know what you think and where you're watching this from.

[00:02:47]It helps us reach more people, and we really appreciate it.

[00:02:53]So, now, before I go too far, as I always do, I want to thank our veterans and first responders for all they do and all they continue to do for this country. We would not be the country we are without them.

[00:03:10]So, before we get into that, we're going to give you our lease-on and dispatching information.

[00:03:18]There that is.

[00:03:20]And how to profit while the DOT purges the gurus. Spot market boom.

[00:03:29]That's what we're going to be talking about.

[00:03:32]Before we get to that, tonight we've got a little bit of news to cover. Not much, just a little bit.

[00:03:38]Uh let's see what we got going on. We have fuel prices. Well, they're down. They're still high. They're down to 506 a gallon. That's down 15 cents from last week.

[00:03:59]Now, hang on 1 second.

[00:04:03]Let me see this real quick.

[00:04:09]Now, guys, look at this. This just came through. HR 8870 highway bill shoots for higher trucking standards.

[00:04:20]Higher barriers for entry for brokers and motor carriers to weed out bad actors.

[00:04:31]And some of that is a motor carrier entry standards. And that is to develop findings and recommendations on the minimum requirements for entry for entities to seek obtain uh and obtain a motor carrier. They got broker standards and CDL standards.

[00:04:54]They're asking for 30 There we go.

[00:05:15]I found something. I don't know exactly what happened.

[00:05:18]Echo test.

[00:05:28]>> Yes, I can hear you.

[00:05:29]>> Uh test 1 2 3.

[00:05:31]>> Yes.

[00:05:32]>> You got me? Well, I'm going to keep going.

[00:05:34]>> You're good.

[00:05:35]>> All right. So, uh not exactly sure what's happening with our uh with our camera here, but um >> I think it's the internet.

[00:05:45]>> I Yeah, I think it's the internet. We've got a windstorm or something out there going on.

[00:05:51]Uh Yeah, see >> Cute cute.

[00:05:55]>> All right. So, anyway, so On the next end of this thing, we've got this week on Duffy uh announces uh Secretary Duffy announces American Supply Chain Sovereignty Initiative to move freight faster at a lower cost for American people.

[00:06:18]News, here we go. Tennessee law now requires proof of citizenship and uh proficiency in English language uh to obtain a regular driver's license and a license plate. I think they should do that all over the country. I don't think it should be just a one-and-done here for just uh uh you know, for just the trucking company. Uh I'm not exactly sure why we are giving licenses to people that are illegal in this country.

[00:06:54]I think we need to make it harder and harder for them, not easier and easier.

[00:06:59]All right. Look at this, guys. C.H.

[00:07:02]Robinson named again. Now, believe it or not, that uh Harjinder Harjinder Singh situation down in Florida last year that killed three people doing that illegal U-turn. Well, guess who brokered that freight?

[00:07:20]C.H. Robinson brokered that freight, and they're named in that lawsuit now.

[00:07:29]Man.

[00:07:30]Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel and killing people just to line your pockets.

[00:07:40]Now, I call BS on this right here because brokers want the FMCSA to draw a bright line between safe and unsafe carriers. And you know, all this does is puts the onus back on the government so the brokers can say if something happens, "Hey, look. See there? They said they were safe." That's all that's about.

[00:08:05]Okay? And the reason I call BS is because this is what's on the safer web right there. There's three trucking companies right there.

[00:08:13]One has no experience whatsoever. The brokers won't touch them now, okay? One has three inspections and seven drivers inspections has zero out of service. They're great to be hired, okay? The next one has 141 inspections and 41% of those are out of service.

[00:08:40]At the bottom of the bottom of each one of these it says 22.26% is the national average. So, if you're not if you're above the national average, I think that's a good enough hammer right there to keep you from doing anything and to save the brokers butt. All the brokers are trying to do is is get somebody else to point fingers at.

[00:09:06]In the news this oversized load was stopped on Interstate 10.

[00:09:11]A total of 32 violations including no commercial driver's license, no insurance, no oversized permit, no certified pilot car, 10 of the 14 brakes were inoperable making this haul and just legitimately unstoppable. You couldn't stop this freight if you wanted to.

[00:09:33]All right, here's your announcement.

[00:09:35]CVSA's Operation Safe Driving Week is a couple weeks away, July 12th through the 18th.

[00:09:42]Uh the Brake Safety Week, this is a big one, August 23rd through the 29th.

[00:09:49]Tip or Truck Safe Tip Line is 888-368-7238 and pictures of the week, we got Albert out there on He's running a water truck.

[00:10:02]We have Anthony, he's got a box of stuff. Don't know what it is, it's just a box of stuff.

[00:10:10]Now this was a jungle load. I really felt sorry for Brian or Brandon.

[00:10:14]Uh he he had a fit. He used every strap he had on the truck to to get this squared away and get it right.

[00:10:24]There's Brian, he sent this to me telling me he knew I love clouds and I do.

[00:10:29]That's a good picture, I like it.

[00:10:33]Uh Clay, hey Clay.

[00:10:36]I have a have a container on me.

[00:10:42]And this is David running some AC units.

[00:10:47]Now Freddy had a fit with this one.

[00:10:50]Uh the load actually shifted and he had to go back in and have them reset it. It wasn't set on there right and when he moved it it shifted on him.

[00:11:02]And there's Greg, Greg's back from vacation. He's running the load, that's a good picture, Greg.

[00:11:09]And Yianni, Yianni always tarps. You never know what he's carrying, but he's always got a good looking tarp job.

[00:11:17]And the picture of the week is Jason.

[00:11:21]There's Jason. Well actually, I think I gave that away. There's the picture, that's Jason's picture holding a reel.

[00:11:29]And there's Marty's running, that's a good picture, Marty. Pulling some reels.

[00:11:36]There's Tony running some equipment.

[00:11:41]There's Miss Mila. Miss Mila was playing with a box knife.

[00:11:46]And she missed.

[00:11:48]And we had to take her to the ER and get some stitches put in that hand.

[00:11:54]Nice nails.

[00:11:59]Now, the picture of the week winner is Jason. I gave it away. Damn. Gave it away. So, yeah.

[00:12:07]That's a cool picture.

[00:12:11]Hey, WTF? This came in from a friend of mine today.

[00:12:15]Uh wanted you guys to take a look. If anybody out there here, real quick, we have to go tonight, but if anybody out there real quick can tell me what the problem is here, can you type it in the comments? Mila, throw it up there.

[00:12:28]Did we got it?

[00:12:30]Okay.

[00:12:32]We only We We only got a couple minutes.

[00:12:42]We got one?

[00:12:44]No? I can go on?

[00:12:46]Okay.

[00:12:47]So, I'm kind of zoomed in here on me today. Yeah.

[00:12:52]So, this is what we're talking about tonight, guys.

[00:12:56]How to profit while the DOT purges the gurus. Now, the gurus are the guys that are out there telling you how to take shortcuts, how not to to follow the the you know, how not to follow the rules, how to get around the rules.

[00:13:14]And they're not there anymore, man.

[00:13:16]They're They're just not going to be there. It's just one of those things that uh is pretty safe. I'm going to zoom out cuz I'm a little ugly.

[00:13:25]Mila said, "God damn, you're too damn ugly for that." So, let me get back. I don't even know if I can back up.

[00:13:33]There we go. Now we got all kind kind of stuff. She yelled, "Too far, too far.

[00:13:38]You're seeing all her stuff back there."

[00:13:40]All right, so anyway, uh there's some crazy stuff right here.

[00:13:46]Uh anyway, it's it's All right, so this is what we're getting into tonight.

[00:13:56]Now, I want you guys to pay attention to this because this this is going to get it's going to get serious real quick.

[00:14:04]Now, we're talking about tonight first of all, the Motis Hammer and Operation Checkmate.

[00:14:13]Now, >> [clears throat] >> let's look at the hard facts.

[00:14:19]The legacy FMCSA platforms officially gave way to the new online system, Motis.

[00:14:29]Now, the gurus told you it was just a cosmetic software update and they were wrong.

[00:14:38]By partnering with ID.me and login.gov, the feds instituted an advanced identity document verifi- verification. If you haven't done it yet, you got to do it.

[00:14:51]But, I had to upload a bunch of documents to prove that it was me.

[00:14:57]So, to open a portal uh to open a portal or perform bi-annual updates, the system demands real-time validation linked directly to the actual company official.

[00:15:14]If your principal place of business I'm tongue-tied tonight. If your principal place of business is a PO Box or your foreign entity hiding behind a stolen MC number, you cannot pass this check.

[00:15:33]If you think the compliance purge is restricted restricted to a digital database, look at what just happened with Operation Checkmate.

[00:15:45]Border Patrol and DOT swarmed commercial motor vehicles arresting dozens of semi-truck drivers.

[00:15:53]Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy testified that the department has actively canceled 28,000 illegally issued licenses for unqualified drivers and knocked out another 20,000 for failing to meet basic English proficiency laws.

[00:16:21]Think about it.

[00:16:24]The feds didn't ask nicely. They executed a coordinated, technological, and physical wipeout of bad capacity over 40,000 trucks.

[00:16:41]Now, you got 40,000 trucks gone from commercial service since this crackdown escalated. 40,000.

[00:16:51]They're going off the board and they're not coming back.

[00:16:57]Now, the bankruptcy math of the market and broker liability.

[00:17:09]So, what happens when you erase tens of thousands of corner-cutting trucks while out there the manufacturing demands is expanding.

[00:17:22]Well, the law of economics kicks in with a vengeance.

[00:17:29]Spot rates skyrocketed to record-breaking highs.

[00:17:34]Van load to truck ratios on that are up an insane 92% year-over-year and flatbed ratios are up a staggering 189% while tender rejections hit 17.55.

[00:17:54]Meaning asset-based carriers are turned turning down contracted freight and going to spot.

[00:18:04]But here's what the internet gurus will never teach you.

[00:18:10]A high-paying rate confirmation will still drive you straight into bankruptcy if you treat this like a job instead of a business.

[00:18:25]Input costs are brutal right now. The average cost of diesel is now setting at 5.06 per gallon which is up nearly two bucks year-over-year.

[00:18:39]Insurance premium for brokers and 3PLs are projected to skyrocket up to five times higher following a recent Supreme Court ruling.

[00:18:51]Amateur operators are thinking they're making money.

[00:18:56]They don't calculate their exact cost per mile.

[00:19:01]They don't build a bulletproof maintenance escrow for a $9,000 transmission failure.

[00:19:08]They don't know how to structurally secure specialized loads.

[00:19:13]And they treat compliance like an annoyance.

[00:19:17]Now, the spot the spot market is resetting because the bottom tier operators are being removed by DOT.

[00:19:27]Now, if you want to capture this premium revenue, your business infrastructure has to be flawless.

[00:19:35]True leverage out here doesn't come from finding a neat shortcut or bypassing the regulations or skipping your pre-trips.

[00:19:48]It comes from being so disciplined, so safe, and so organized that high-value shippers and brokers trust you with their critical industrial equipment when the market is in total chaos.

[00:20:08]I want you guys to listen to this real quick.

[00:20:14]>> Part of a family that owned one of the largest trucking companies and like was frequently sued for no fault of their of the the drivers or the carrier. And anyone who's ever been an asset-based trucking knows that the up to be the larger carriers that the compliance and safety and insurance groups run those businesses to mitigate risk.

[00:20:34]That's a very new development for freight brokers where perhaps the compliance person existed mostly on security and sort of mitigate if something happened around the freight having claims. But we're talking about a completely different playbook where now plaintiffs attorneys are going to find fault in anything and everything that they can prove or at least argue that you've done. I don't think I don't think brokers are prepared for that.

[00:21:01]>> Now, and the nuclear verdicts, Craig, don't come so much from the facts of the accident. They come from the plaintiff attorneys seizing upon systemic failures of those in the supply chain. Right now, it's the carriers. It is what they do or fail to do in their hiring, training, supervision, along those lines. We're going to see that next in terms of the brokers. Did the broker in selecting this carrier make an informed decision and do a good job to make sure it was a safe carrier? You know, I contacted the folks at the CAB Report and the data they gave me is 95% of the carriers that have had at least one inspection are unrated. You know, we have only 40,000 satisfactory carriers, according to their data. The conditional carriers, the unsat carriers, those I think are going to be ones that the brokers are going to be hesitant, if not loath, to proceed with in that case.

[00:22:00]>> And there you go.

[00:22:02]This is what I've been saying all along.

[00:22:05]I want to lay out a little bit of blueprint here to try to help you get through this, okay?

[00:22:13]Now, the first thing you need to do out there, the first thing you need to do is get your legacy MC number into the mode of spot.

[00:22:25]Your DOT number is still your primary business identifier.

[00:22:30]The critical step right now is to ensure that the login.gov email used for your company official inside the legacy FMCSA portal matches the exact email you used to initiate your new mode of dashboard.

[00:22:51]You got to make sure you deal with that.

[00:22:54]And you have to deal with it quickly.

[00:22:57]The next thing is this. How to deal with a violation or a ticket.

[00:23:03]Now, something you have to understand is that there are certain violations that you can do nothing about.

[00:23:12]Absolutely nothing.

[00:23:14]Uh but there are things that you can do about.

[00:23:20]And the number one thing is you never just pay a ticket.

[00:23:25]Paying it is an admission of guilt.

[00:23:29]That immediately drops your safety score.

[00:23:32]You fight it using a an attorney.

[00:23:39]If you don't do anything else, get it reduced to improper equipment or something like that.

[00:23:45]But do not just pay off a ticket. We had a driver written for uh bypassing a check station.

[00:23:54]And uh we fought that. Uh it it cost him, I think, $750 uh in attorney fees.

[00:24:05]But it was reduced down to not even a moving violation. It was parking 12 in too close to a curb or something or too far away from a curb.

[00:24:17]But guys, don't pay a speeding ticket.

[00:24:20]Don't pay any kind of ticket.

[00:24:22]Uh now, if you get a DOT violation, those are different. They're handled different. They have to be appealed.

[00:24:30]Uh some things you can appeal.

[00:24:34]There's some things you cannot appeal.

[00:24:36]They're just not appealable.

[00:24:38]Uh we had a driver written up for not certifying his logs recently.

[00:24:44]Guys, that's an unforced error. There's nothing you can do about that. Can't even appeal it. You just have to chew on for two years.

[00:24:55]So, all right. Now, how to deal with a ticket. Let's Let's watch this real quick. Here you go. Here's from the pros.

[00:25:03]>> What happens when a commercial a commercial driver actually gets a violation? How does FMCSA enforce it?

[00:25:10]How does that actually work? What do they do?

[00:25:11]>> Here's the key point. The um it's the the conviction that leads to the disqualification, the 60- or 120-day disqualification. It is not the ticket itself. It is not the incident itself.

[00:25:25]And the the disqualification starts at the time of conviction. So, it doesn't start on the road when you get the ticket. It starts when that ticket goes on your record and you are you are found guilty. When you are pulled over, the first thing you should do is consider fighting the ticket. You can hire a lawyer on your own. You can appear in court on your own or you can you know, this is what we do. It's what Off the Record does. It's why why we exist. When you have that lawyer, the lawyer goes to court, puts up a defense on your behalf. If the ticket is dismissed or the charge is reduced to what's considered a non-serious traffic offense, then you're good. That that ticket will not you know, it it it will not count towards your two ticket disqualification number.

[00:26:11]Now, if the ticket unfortunately does land on your record the the you know, the case is not successful, then that one ticket goes on your record. If you get another ticket, that's when or another conviction rather, that's when the 60-day disqualification would start. Now, what we see is active commercial drivers will not fight will not contest the first ticket often times, but then they'll get the second ticket and they realize that they are it's it's a bigger matter now because the second conviction would bench them essentially.

[00:26:52]And there you go.

[00:26:54]Fight every one of them, guys.

[00:26:56]If If you can fight them, fight them.

[00:26:59]Now, what do you do if your safety score has already been compromised?

[00:27:08]It's a great question, and this is what I'm going to recommend to you.

[00:27:13]Your carrier safety score has to be impeccable as possible to survive.

[00:27:21]Okay?

[00:27:24]You get your system straightened up, you get your structure underneath of you, you go back through and you look at what you failed at, and you fix it.

[00:27:36]And once you get it fixed, you go get as many as many inspections as possible to help you push that safety score down.

[00:27:49]It is tough to push that safety score down once it's up.

[00:27:55]Okay?

[00:27:56]So, yeah, now I'll just You just have to go do it. You have to go get those inspections.

[00:28:07]Now, real quick, did we get anybody that come up with the right answer on that question?

[00:28:11]>> I don't know what they said.

[00:28:13]>> All right, show me what they said.

[00:28:16]Hang on. What Robert Kahn, there's my brother from another mother.

[00:28:21]Robert Kahn is absolutely correct. You have no binders.

[00:28:27]Okay?

[00:28:28]Anything that is 10,000 lb or over, 10,001 lb or more, you have to have a chain and binder on each corner.

[00:28:43]Okay?

[00:28:45]Michael Michael is also correct.

[00:28:48]We need a separate securement point for the blade. That is correct.

[00:28:54]Good job. Good job. We got any more?

[00:28:58]No more. Everybody else got it. So, look here. Need a binder.

[00:29:03]Binder on both sides.

[00:29:07]Need a binder for the blade. You need a binder here. Okay? Got to have all this stuff secured separate.

[00:29:14]>> Can you strap over the blade?

[00:29:16]>> You could use a strap over the blade.

[00:29:18]Yes. Just got to be secured. Okay?

[00:29:22]All right. Well, good job. I'm glad Robert's here. Glad Michael Michael's here. Everybody.

[00:29:28]I think what we need to do right at the moment is I think we probably ought to be talking about this. If we got Roman in the house?

[00:29:39]Let's see. Roman's in the house. Hey, Roman Owen. You are not home. What happened?

[00:29:45]>> I got delayed.

[00:29:47]So. [laughter] >> Oh, you going to be in trucky?

[00:29:51]>> Uh yeah, absolutely. I got delayed and ended up having to tow All right.

[00:29:58]Park next to my truck over here.

[00:30:00]>> Oh, man. I hate that. We won't keep you long. I just want to talk about it a minute. So, did you hear the show? What did you talk about?

[00:30:08]>> Uh I thought think that things are changing, man. And the gurus thought they were going to the you know how the the rates are coming back up and everything's looking good other than the diesel, but that'll correct itself. That'll go down.

[00:30:23]Especially now with the news that the in Iran's pretty much a wrap.

[00:30:30]Uh but the rates are going up and that's a good thing. And you know, the vultures are down >> They're they're they're they're the vultures were circling waiting for things to get better so they can get back in with their get rich quick, but it ain't happening this time.

[00:30:46]>> Yeah, now now it's different.

[00:30:48]>> That's right.

[00:30:49]It's a different animal.

[00:30:51]>> Uh I want to show you guys this this next little clip here I have.

[00:30:55]I found some really good clips for this week and uh I want to hit this real quick. Hang on.

[00:31:00]>> It kind of hit me over the head and you guys have probably talked about this. I was listening to the um you know hours of the Wells Fargo Transportation Conference last week and um Jim Filter is the uh CEO in waiting there. Uh I had to like do a retake cuz it hit me like a a ton of bricks. He said uh there aren't 50,000 carriers in the US that would pass a minimum safety requirement test.

[00:31:23]They have 14,000 in the database and I know from my time doing the research, I believe the number's around 500,000 total trucking authorities. Maybe only 50% of those are, you know, actively participating in brokered freight on a regular basis, but if you think about that, that's just a staggering number.

[00:31:40]You kind of as we sit right now and I'm as I'm talking to investors, my base case is 5% of supply is more or less permanently over the next 3 years coming out of the market and I think you can make a bull case for as much as 20% and in an industry where one every 1% matters tremendously, I think, you know, you just have this very unique uh regulatory driven bull cycle that I think's going to go on longer and higher than anyone uh expects. And so, the metaphor that I would use, this is not 2026 AI. This is calling a, you know, uh AI a bubble in 2023. I think we're in the second or third inning. You're just now at estimates on the sell side are far behind the curve in terms of So, the stock's kind of look expensive and they've they a lot of easy money has been made, but um I think, you know, on the supply side, you've got that and then you've got 5% demand growth such that you now have this positive spread of double digits between supply and demand and then it's feeding into um you know, it's going to be a big margin recovery and a lot of late rate increases that we're already seeing.

[00:32:43]>> Yeah, so it's looking up for a while.

[00:32:46]>> Mhm.

[00:32:47]>> Yeah.

[00:32:48]>> Yeah.

[00:32:48]>> And uh I think I think what we have to do though, guys, is you have to remember that that this is a business and and if you treat it like anything else, you'll run it in the ground and it'll be gone.

[00:33:05]>> Yeah.

[00:33:06]>> No matter how much money you make.

[00:33:08]Now, I want to show you something real quick. I'm going to bring it up here.

[00:33:12]We're going to talk about this a minute.

[00:33:15]This is a truck I saw here in in Dentral. It's a hot shot.

[00:33:20]This truck is 10 months and 17 days old when I took the picture.

[00:33:24]Okay?

[00:33:25]It's not a year old. It was born This MC was born 7/30/2025.

[00:33:32]Now, if you think things aren't hot out there, this guy has had 43 total inspections.

[00:33:43]32 vehicles, 43 were driving.

[00:33:49]On the vehicle side, he has failed 19 of them.

[00:33:53]That puts him at 59.4% out of service.

[00:33:59]And on the driver side, he failed 23 and that's 53.5% out of service.

[00:34:08]And my question for you is, in 10 months and 17 days, this guy is still on the road.

[00:34:16]Now that all this crackdown has happened, how long do you think he's going to remain on the road?

[00:34:22]That's the question I have.

[00:34:25]How long do you think this guy is going to remain viable and care and brokers and shippers are going to continue to use him knowing that he's way over the national average.

[00:34:43]>> Yeah.

[00:34:44]Hopefully not long, but it's interesting that earlier the brokers wanted the government to give them a clear a bright line as as they call it, but I I agree with you that you don't you that's just try to put pass the buck onto the government again.

[00:35:02]>> they're doing.

[00:35:03]>> Because you can look at that right there and see this guy we're not giving this guy Next. And that's it.

[00:35:11]I mean you don't need the government to cuz that's all that is is the government to say, well, they said this was okay, so you know, it's on them now. So, no, it's not on them. It's on you guys and that last uh the the the first guys that were talking that they're not prepared for this and they don't know how to handle this cuz they don't have departments to Well, you know what? You better figure it out.

[00:35:36]>> You got to figure it out.

[00:35:37]>> The the the Supreme Court spoke and it's on them now and it's really in my opinion it's really not complicated. It's really just a matter of them not wanting to do the work to look up this information right here and say, okay, we can't do this guy.

[00:35:55]>> Once you have the number, you key it in and there it is.

[00:35:57]>> Yeah, but they don't want to do that because they're used to just throwing out uh loads to these bottom feeders and they run it and they make money and they don't give a that the guy does a U-turn and kills three people in a van. They they can care care less. And now they're being forced to care by the Supreme Court and they're scratching their head and saying, well, we need the government to give us this clear line. No, you don't.

[00:36:24]No, No don't.

[00:36:25]>> [laughter] >> So, this is obvious, man. It's simple. Look at the numbers and see this is not a healthy uh person to give a load to. And and >> Exactly.

[00:36:36]>> the goal is to have like this off of our roads. And they're working on it and they're doing a good job in my opinion of of really cracking down on this >> I I totally agree with you. I totally agree. And look at this, too, Rome. You I don't know if you made it in for this, but there this is in this new bill.

[00:36:57]They're wanting uh you know, they're wanting higher standards to even get an MC. And you should. I mean, my god, $300 should not be the standard to get an MC.

[00:37:09]>> Yeah, they they have to >> A guy comes off a roof who just spent the last 24 years hammering nails into a roof, knows nothing about the industry at all, logistics at all.

[00:37:24]Nothing about the regulations. If he plops down 300 bucks, he can have an MC.

[00:37:29]>> Yeah.

[00:37:29]>> That's it. So, they're working on that.

[00:37:32]>> They're working on that. The broker standards we talked about that they're working on. And then that's that's the one I wanted to just hit on real quick, the CDL standards.

[00:37:40]>> Yeah, real quick.

[00:37:40]>> It's got again, you got to you got to you got to address this kind of stuff.

[00:37:46]You can't have a guy get a CDL with, you know, 6 hours of behind the wheel experience and then here you go, you're good to go.

[00:37:54]You know, they're going to it's just got to be addressed and then I don't disagree with any of that stuff. If these are all just things that that are they're doing to make the industry better and I told y'all I mean, I told y'all all the time, it's going to take every bit of 4 years of Duffy's tenure in in in this administration to to to fix this. It's going to take every single bit of the 4 years.

[00:38:19]>> All right, let let me yell over here real quick and say hi to everybody. Give me a real quick. Miss Mila and her three stitches are in the house.
