No studio. No script. No safe answers.

This episode of Brake Check went down LIVE at the Tenstreet User Conference in Las Vegas. Executives from all over freight came together to look at the latest industry trends and what is happening out on the road.

The freight recession might finally be over. But as rates climb and the market shifts to benefit carriers and drivers, the real challenges are just getting started. From drivers getting pushed into unregulated markets to well-intentioned laws making job hunting harder, we talk to the people building the tech and pulling the strings.

We break it all down with:

• Kevin Nadeau & Tom Resz (Tenstreet)The shifting market, the Job Store, and driver retention.

• Scott Fierman (HireRight)The DAC employment history file and building a better partnership with drivers.

• Meghan Gleason (⁠TruckersReport.com⁠) Job board traffic, the Hammer app, and finding the right fit.

• Carlo Solórzano (Driver IQ) – The Don't Get Played podcast and AI streamlining the industry.

This is what happens when you get everyone in the same room to talk about what's actually working—and what's broken.

Welcome to Brake Check.

Real trucking talk for real trucking people.

No fluff. No spin. Just the truth.
