In trucking, no loads usually means no revenue. But Toyota plays by different rules. Carlos M. Llanes Jr. (@SpartanCarrierG) , Founder & CEO of @SpartanCarrier, explains how Toyota protects its trucking partners during disruptions. It's a different kind of shipper-carrier relationship, and one most companies don't offer.ย
โA lot of companies don't do this. But Toyota, if let's sayโGod forbid there's another semiconductor shortageโToyota would still cover my fixed cost because that's something outside of my control.
They would take care of ensuring that my drivers are getting paid, and that my trucks are getting paid because we're part of their supply chain.
And for that reason, that synergistic, true gain-share, pain-share relationship affords us the ability to do some cool things that you wouldn't necessarily do with a transactional relationship.โ

JD Vanceโs hometown in southwest Ohio is overrun with โmigrantsโ from Uzbekistan who operate hundreds of shady trucking businesses in the area.
UAG Express INC is registered to this abandoned storefront in Middletown, which the locals say has been in ruins for some time.
Aziz Ishanov is the registered company officer for UAG, which runs a fleet of more than 40 trucks.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's records show that nine out of the last 18 inspections resulted in UAG vehicles being put "out of service."
Stay tuned for @BorderHawkNews full report from the region.
"The basic problem has been around trucking for a long time, yet since the dawn of the ELD mandate, it's only gotten worse. "Whoever let these bozos in, they started multiplying like sadistic rabbits," one driver said about the shady carriers."
Drivers speak out against remote ELD manipulation happening across the country in the networks of so-called "chameleon" fleets: https://t.co/FCYjZR98Bd
๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ Russian and Uzbek nationals charged with conspiracy to file false voter registration applications ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ Context: Originally reported 2.3.25
Do we think the Russians and Uzbeks decided to take a break from voter fraud?
A Russian national and an Uzbek national, both residing in Florida, were arrested for their alleged participation in a scheme to submit false and fraudulent voter registration applications to the Pinellas County, Florida, Supervisor of Elections.
According to court filings, Dmitry Shushlebin, 45, a citizen of Russia living in Miami Beach, and Sanjar Jamilov, 33, a citizen of Uzbekistan living in St. Petersburg, conspired to submit 132ย fraudulent voter registration applications to the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections in February and March 2023.
These applications were submitted in names other than their own, in envelopes with return and address labels that were identically formatted, including containing the same typographical error, and bore various indicia of fraud including, among other things, repeating dates of birth and addresses and nearly sequential social security numbers.
Change of address forms were also submitted to the U.S. Postal Service to route mail to the names and addresses on the fraudulent applications to three locations that Shushlebin and Jamilov allegedly controlled.
๐ฉ Update: Sanjar Jamilov, prison time served and was not ordered to pay restitution, transferred to federal custody for immigration processing.
Dmitry Shushlebin received 6 years in the FEDS as of 9.17.26 and was ordered to pay $458,839.69 in restitution.

More Shady Trucking Companies In Southwest Ohio
Foreign-owned Ssl Trucking INC has a physical address in Middletown, Ohio, where some 1,250 trucks are registered, per federal records, but the parking area is virtually empty.
They have an abysmal "F" rating on CarrierGrades due to numerous crashes and an exceptionally high number of violations discovered during inspections.
Court records show that an Ohio-based โSSL TRUCKING, INCโ is the defendant in a Florida lawsuit in which the plaintiff alleges an accident resulted in "significant injuries."
