The FMCSA Data Crisis (with Danielle Chaffin) | Episode 312
Manage episode 507336871 series 3524041
The FMCSA’s sudden shutdown of data feeds threw brokers, carriers, and safety officials into chaos, cutting off access to critical verification tools and exposing major vulnerabilities in the freight system. Criminals are already exploiting these gaps by hijacking FMCSA credentials, altering carrier info, and stealing loads—while the agency fails to track changes. At the same time, industry groups continue to push the false “driver shortage” narrative, masking how low standards and oversupply are creating real safety and wage issues on the road.
