This Week In Trucking
This Week in Trucking is a podcast dedicated to helping owner-operators and small carriers run profitable trucking businesses.
We like to dive into the numbers behind running a trucking operation, such as truck and trailer payments, insurance, fuel costs, revenue, and cost per mile.

How Carriers Get Scammed in 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Freight fraud isn't just double brokering anymore. They're hacking carrier emails, stealing entire freight bills, running ghost fleets, and impersonating legitimate trucking companies. And most carriers don't know they've been hit until a broker calls asking where their load is.
In this episode of This Week in Trucking, John Cantera: the Double Broker Bounty Hunter, 25-year logistics and supply chain veteran, former Air Force logistics officer, and certified war planner, breaks down how freight fraud has evolved, how carriers are being targeted right now, and what you can do today to protect yourself.
NOTE: This conversation was recorded before the Supreme Court's Montgomery v. FCA ruling. The ruling has since been decided, removing broker preemption and opening the door for freight brokers to be held liable for negligent hiring. John's breakdown of what was at stake and what it means for carriers and brokers is now playing out in real time across roughly 900 cases nationwide.
