We'll just have our trailer pools and our customers and we'll subcontract out the driving and the owning of the trucks to all of this cheap labor.
J.B.
Hunt does this, Knight Swift, Warner, and they don't want to own trucks because hiring Americans and paying for trucks, there's business reasons for this to write too.
The cost of compliance, the cost of insurance, the cost of dealing with all this, it's a very hostile business environment.
So I sort of understand what they're doing, but the power-only model right now mostly rides on insourced labor.
And what this does is it allows them to say, hey, we are still this American trucking company.
Look at us.
We're servicing our customers, but they're not actually employing.
They're trying to get away from employing people at all and moving to the power only model.
it's a skin suit it's not really an american company right yeah there's a whole lot of that skin suit stuff going on and i mean there's this problem with chameleon carriers right so what people ask us all the time like what's going on with the enforcement these guys get in crashes they kill all these people but then they just pop up again somewhere else and so we have a problem which you know i think duffy and derek bars the fmcsa are working towards solving
But a company will register under an LLC, and they'll have what's called a motor carrier registration number.
And that motor carrier registration number is how all of their violations and inspections and whatnot are accumulated to, and then the government is supposed to impose accountability on them.
But what happens is when a company's motor carrier number gets too many violations, they get too much heat from the feds or whatever state, they just shut that company down.
They move the equipment and the drivers to another one under a separate motor carrier number.
And there's an open market in buying and selling those, which they're supposed to be clamping down on, but I'm not sure how that works.
And then they just keep operating, right?
There was a very famous incident here where this Cuban migrant working for a company called Hope Trans crashed into a family, killed almost all of them in Texas.
And Hope Trans has been on the Fed's radar forever.
You know, I think they're run by people from Moldova.
You know, again, they have no skin in the game here in America.
