Look around your room right now. Every single thing you see—from your coffee maker to your boots—was on a truck. But most of you have no idea how it got there, or how close the whole system is to breaking. This week, we are looking at the new federal regulations threatened to choke out small business truckers, why the mainstream economic numbers you hear on TV are a total lie, and why waving a flag won't fix a supply chain. If you want to know what's actually happening to the American economy, you don't look at Wall Street—you look at the freight floor. Let’s get into it.
