The War on Truckers (ft. Gord Magill)
About this episode
Nick interviews Gord Magill about the challenges facing the trucking industry and the misconceptions surrounding the driver shortage narrative.
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Gord Magill, author of End of the Road: Inside the War on Truckers, for an illuminating conversation about American labor. Gord is a third-generation trucker from Canada who has driven across four countries and spent years figuring out why the industry that moves everything in America has become, in his words, “a complete dumpster fire." He breaks down the driver shortage narrative that the American Trucking Associations have been running since 1987… and why it has always been a lie. He also exposes the flood of non-domiciled CDLs being issued to people who don't speak English, and breaks down the big legal battles of the day with the Delilah's Law stall in Congress and the Supreme Court's Montgomery v. Caribe Bay decision. This episode is a good reminder that behind every policy debate are legions of workers and logistics where livelihoods (and lives) are at stake.
