Mary O’Connell - Check Call Community Host - FreightWaves - St. Louis, MO Double brokering is something that everyone has really started talking about and it seems that everyone has a good starting point to fixing the problem but no one has the perfect solution. Why do you think it’s so hard to find the fix that makes this not a problem anymore? How does double brokering impact the relationship between carriers, brokers, and shippers in the transportation industry? Something that Tai has doubled down on is carrier relationship building. Why is that solution you guys have doubled down on to prevent double brokering? Is there more to carrier relationships than just not falling victim to fraud? What advantages do carriers get out of these partnerships? Basically what sets it apart from any other broker saying oh we value you then do nothing but throw them under the bus and send them a gas card or a bag of chips every year?

John Gallagher - Washington Correspondent - FreightWaves - Washington, DC The opinions about underrides are quite diverse - one group saying the cost benefit is too low, another saying the implementation of underrides would result in more fatalities.  How did each side get to their conclusion? Why was an underride rule on the table in the first place? What are the timetable steps going forward if this is to become a rulemaking? The less seat belts are used, the greater the chance of a fatality in an accident.  Will we see more stringent enforcement on seat belt use in trucks? We’ve got a chart of the last several years of statistics - you can take us through this but is there a reason that the number of accidents and the percentage has gone up in 2021?

John Kingston - Editor-At-Large - FreightWaves - Carle Place, NY Commuters who drive the route will want to seek alternatives, as repairs are expected to take “months,” according to Gov. Josh Shapiro, who toured the aftermath Sunday afternoon. SEPTA is working to add service to lines that run nearby. It all started around 6:20 a.m. Sunday morning, when reports came in of a vehicle fire, Shapiro said. Collapse of the Interstate was due to a tanker fire underneath the overpass which buckled under the pressure of the vehicles passing over. This section of I-95 runs west of the Delaware river right through downtown Philadelphia (between downtown and the river). At the Route 73/Cottman overpass, just north of the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, the northbound lanes of I-95 were “gone,” Fire Dept. Capt. Derek Bowmer said at a morning press briefing, and the southbound lanes were “compromised.” The destroyed portion of the highway is “likely the busiest interstate in the commonwealth,” seeing around 160,000 vehicles daily, according to Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Secretary Mike Carroll. - PER CNN According to a website called The Greater Encyclopedia of Philadelphia, which includes a history of I-95 in that region, by 2010, the stretch of I-95 through Bucks County, which is north of the city, was carrying 136,000 cars per day and 19,000 trucks.
