Within an hour of a canceled load, Sammy Lloyd already has another one booked.

Every owner-operator knows the feeling. You're 80 miles from nowhere, the load you planned your week around just fell through, and the math on fuel and hours starts adding up fast.

Sammy, founder of Lloyd Truckin, doesn't waste time on the panic. He pulls up the Truckstop.com load board, finds something close, and gets moving again.

No secret. Just a habit of moving fast when things go sideways.

What's your go-to move when a load falls through?

A broker offers you $6,000 for a short run from Miami to Atlanta.
Sounds great, right? You're probably not getting paid.

Dale Prax shared the red flags every carrier should watch for before accepting a load:

🚩 A contact who says the load is coming from a sister company or another entity
🚩 Mid-trip instructions to drop at a warehouse that's not on your paperwork
🚩 Any lie about the details, no matter how small

Check market rates on Truckstop before you commit. And if a contact isn't straight with you once, don't give them a second chance.

It only costs $300 and a stolen gift card to start a scam in the trucking industry.

Dale Prax traced the fraud surge back to the pandemic.

Brokers hired and trained cheap overseas labor to run their operations. When those jobs disappeared, those same workers used their insider knowledge to set up fake companies.

That's why the industry now sees 6,000 new MC numbers issued every month to people who shouldn't have them.

05/26/2026

Spot rates rose for all equipment types in Week 20, with Roadcheck week effects still lifting the market heading into Memorial Day.

Here's what Truckstop.com and FTR showed for Week 20 (ending May 22):

1️⃣ Dry Van
Rates rose 13 cents to the highest level since January 2022 and ran 48% above the same 2025 week. Load volume eased 3.2% after the Roadcheck jump but stayed more than 41% above last year.

2️⃣ Re**er
Rates climbed 6 cents after the record 52-cent Roadcheck jump and ran 48% above the same 2025 week. Load volume fell 11.4% but held 11% above last year.

3️⃣ Flatbed
Rates rose 7.7 cents to another record, now up in 26 of the past 27 weeks, and ran 45% above the same 2025 week. Load volume hit its highest level since May 2022, about 82% above last year.

What this means
Last week's numbers still reflect Roadcheck capacity tightening. Watch for van and re**er rates to level off before the late-June pickup, while flatbed keeps running on its own track.

Nearly 20,000 bad actors blocked from onboarding in 2025. A 57% drop in reported fraud incidents for customers. Up to 80% faster carrier onboarding.

Those numbers reflect what's possible when an industry decides to push back. Freight fraud is a problem no single company solves alone. It takes brokers, carriers, technology providers, and law enforcement working together.

Truckstop.com is honored to be named one of the 2026 FreightWaves Fraud Fighters Award winners in the Solution Provider category, alongside the other honorees doing important work in this space.

Thank you to FreightWaves for the recognition, and to the team behind our Risk Assessment System.

250 companies in the FMCSA database share the same email address: [email protected].

Let that sink in.

Dale Prax breaks down the vetting double standard in trucking.

Carriers face constant audits and roadside inspections.

Meanwhile, almost 30% of broker authorities in the FMCSA database have bad data on file. Fake phone numbers, shared email addresses, and records that make bad actors nearly impossible to track.

05/20/2026

Spot rates jumped across the board in Week 19 as Roadcheck pulled freight onto the spot market and pushed rates to record or near-record highs.

Here's what Truckstop.com and FTR showed for Week 19 (ending May 15):

1️⃣ Dry Van
Rates jumped 23.7 cents to the highest level since February 2022, the second-largest single-week increase ever. Load volume rose 36.3% and ran almost 28% above the same 2025 week.

2️⃣ Re**er
Rates surged 52.2 cents, the largest weekly increase ever recorded. Load volume climbed 42.9% and came in just over 1% above the same 2025 week.

3️⃣ Flatbed
Rates rose for a 20th straight week to a record level. Load volume held strong as freight shifted onto the spot market.

What this means
Roadcheck week always pushes spot rates higher for dry van and re**er, but this year's spikes ran well past anything in recent memory. Carriers staying in service this week had real leverage, though dry van and re**er rates still sit below their late-2021 highs.

Most carriers don't know where they're leaving money in their rate negotiations. AI can show you.

In this episode of Behind The Freight, Adam Wingfield breaks down a three step process to get better data.

1️⃣ Tell the AI it is an expert in load negotiations
2️⃣ Give it your recent rate confirmations
3️⃣ Ask it to find your gaps

It is a simple way to make more money next month by using the tools you already have.

Diesel hit $5.07 in March. Surcharges didn't keep up. And fuel is still $0.48/mile of the average cost-per-mile, per ATRI.

If you're not actively managing fuel, it's managing you.

Here are 5 things that actually move the number — no equipment overhaul required.

The freight market is a lot like a cookout. If everyone is eating the food but nobody is bringing more, eventually the food runs out.

In this episode, Adam Wingfield explains that the industry is always cyclical. Market cycles usually last about eighteen months. When things are good, you have to remember that the money is not permanent.

Success is about preparing for the next downturn while you are still at the table.
