There are people in the trucking industry who lie to you to exploit you. They are henchmen who serve very powerful multi-billion dollar corporate masters. They will go out of their way to disparage, belittle, and even orchestrate very elaborate political hit jobs against anyone who stands up to them and tells you the truth to discredit these white hats in this industry and deter you from believing that truth. Such has been the case with freight broker transparency.

They think you are stupid and gullible and that they can influence and control what and how you think by controlling trucking media through advertising payments and by teaming up with corrupt bureaucrats and self-promoting government attorneys who lack ethics who unjustly target truth tellers through unethical lawfare to cancel them as a favor to big businesses that often then hire them as a reward. It's a corrupt revolving door that entices people to sell their souls to these devils and become cronies.

Sometimes, it works because they are so good at manipulating and spinning the truth and facts. Other times, the white hats survive these character assassinations because they fight back and persevere.

Eventually, through sheer passion and resolve, they meticulously and zealously expose the corrupt motives of these henchmen, they offer undeniable
truth, evidence, and facts, and they take these henchmen down because most of you transportation professionals think for yourselves and are not so easily fooled. You see through these charades and shenanigans.

You have a choice to either be a part of the corrupt cartel in trucking and exploit others, or you can fight back and problem-solve with the SBTC and our partners as a member of the .

Choose wisely...

BREAKING NEWS: SBTC Asks FMCSA to Press Pause on 2027 UCR Fee Hike During Pendancy of Litigation Before US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit Challenging the Legality of UCR System Plan & Agreement:

> Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2026 at 1:16 AM
> From: "James Lamb"
> To: "Barrs, Derek (FMCSA)"
> Cc: "Laurence Socci"
> Subject: Request for Pause on 2027 UCR Fee Hike Rulemaking
>
> Dear Administrator Barrs,
>
> Under separate cover, the SBTC has advised Larry Minor SBTC is considering seeking a stay on the 2027 UCR fee hike rulemaking (now that the case will not undergo expedited merits review but has survived the government's motion for summary disposition).
>
> To be clear, such a stay would not affect the agency's existing 2024 fee rule so it would not adversely affect the states' ability to continue to receive safety funding from industry in 2027 at 2024 fee levels. We just feel raising the fees while this case is pending is inappropriate.
>
> We are planning on filing a formal more detailed comment to the docket and encouraging SBTC members, partners, and followers to file their own comment, asking for the agency to please press pause on a fee hike for 2027 UCR while the legality of the UCR System Plan & Agreement is adjudicated by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.
>
> We believe this is a reasonable and prudent request that we would like to immediately put in front of the agency. A copy of this email is being uploaded to the rulemaking docket and posted on social media.
>
> Please advise if the agency is willing to do this voluntarily before the end of the 2027 UCR Fee Rulemaking comment period so we may know if we can avoid expending judicial resources on this request through a formal motion for stay, which we are confident the Court would approve.
>
> Thank you for your consideration.

Strange that Overdrive doesn't mention how the SBTC is challenging the legality of the UCR system in US Court of Appeals since December 2025:

Are they asleep at the wheel or hiding this from you?
