What happens when policy meets pavement?In this episode of Brake Check, we bring you both sides of one of the most controversial issues in trucking today.First—Jorge, a truck driver and DACA recipient, shares his story as new CDL crackdowns threaten his livelihood, his future, and everything he’s built behind the wheel.Then—we sit down with the CEO of GenLogs, a company using real-time data and intelligence tools to expose freight fraud, cargo theft, and ELD manipulation across the country.Two perspectives. One industry.We break down:
The real-life impact of CDL enforcement on working drivers
The rise of freight fraud and organized cargo theft
Whether enforcement is fixing the problem—or missing it entirely
What the future of trucking looks like if both trends continue
This isn’t about picking sides. It’s about understanding what’s really happening.Because while some drivers are being pushed out…Others are gaming the system.And the question is—who’s actually being held accountable?
