🚨 BREAKING: BOMB FOUND AT ILLINOIS ETHANOL PLANT ..... THOUSANDS EVACUATED!

This isn't a drill, This isn't a hoax and add this to the list of crazy happening on Friday the 13th! Authorities confirm an actual explosive device was discovered at the BioUrja Renewables ethanol plant in Peoria, Illinois.

💥 More than 5,000 people ordered to evacuate.

🚨 One-mile evacuation zone established.

🚔 FBI involved in the investigation.

The device has reportedly been rendered safe, but authorities are still searching for additional explosives. This is a major American fuel-production facility. And it's a reminder that protecting our nation's energy infrastructure isn't optional.

To the truckers, workers, families, and first responders impacted: STAY SAFE, STAY ALERT, AND FOLLOW LOCAL EMERGENCY ORDERS.

This story is developing.

New working theory regarding @FAANews groundstop....

@TAMU was so worried about @Vol_Football ass whooping that they hired hackers to shut down the airspace!!

GBO!!!

@SecDuffy and @USDOT can you confirm?

🚨 BOOM: DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin says President Trump TOOK THE LEAD IMMEDIATELY on the nationwide ground stop.

"The president took a lead in this immediately and he gave us the assets and the communication to move forward in a fast way. That's what leaders do," Mullin said.

He says the FAA, the Department of War and the State Department are ALL working together right now.

He won't guess at the cause and says they'll release the facts as they get them. He calls it a telecommunications outage, NOT A 9/11-STYLE EVENT.

When something goes wrong, real leaders run toward the problem.

🚨 WOW! Everyone knows every airport in America is shut down. What people aren't talking about is the planes that are STILL IN THE AIR.

Air traffic controllers now have to bring down every flight already airborne, and each one is carrying a different amount of fuel. Some of them need to get on the ground fast.

The FAA's own order cites "EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES AND FOR REASONS OF SAFETY," and Fox says this is only the second nationwide ground stop since 9/11.

Sean Duffy says a communication issue hit every Air Route Traffic Control Center in the country.

Pray for those pilots and controllers right now.

[Captain Chaos @WildcardUncut]

Interesting growing theory ....the @FAANews new tech was built by the same folks that built @FMCSA MOTUS?

Or...

IDK....terrible Friday the 13th Hacker attack?

Thoughts and theories?

[Captain Chaos @WildcardUncut]

Ground stop for all the U.S.?¿

What a way to close out Friday the 13th.....what is going on?

[Captain Chaos @WildcardUncut]

133 ELDs GONE! THE CHEATERS ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! 🇺🇸🔥

@FMCSA just delivered the largest ELD removal in history!

Manipulated logs, Fake driving records, Technology allegedly designed to help operators cheat the clock while legitimate American truckers compete by the rules. THAT'S NOT COMPETITION, THAT'S FRAUD WITH A FREIGHT RATE ATTACHED!

Credit where it's due!
@FMCSA Administrator @BarrsDerek is putting ACTION behind accountability!

Now keep going!
Go after the vendors enabling fraud, Hold dishonest carriers accountable, Protect drivers pressured to run illegally and don't punish legitimate carriers caught with newly revoked devices....they are a consumer and deserve consumer protections there too!

AMERICAN TRUCKERS DON'T NEED SPECIAL TREATMENT, THEY NEED A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD!

Derek Barrs, KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS!
To everyone cheating the system...
YOUR CLOCK IS RUNNING OUT! ⏰

ALL GAS. NO BRAKES! 🇺🇸

Are you driving too fast and burning up your profits?

On Brake Check, Mike Roeth, Executive Director of NACFE, discusses a simple but powerful strategy to combat high fuel prices: slow down. Knowing that every mile per hour you reduce your speed saves about a tenth of a mile per gallon should be a wake-up call for any driver.

[FreightWaves @FreightWaves]

On Brake Check, Brett Schroeder, Chief Sales Officer at Apex Capital, details the rising tide of fraud and identity theft that is plaguing the trucking industry.

He explains how rogue agents are using stolen identities to offer fake freight to unsuspecting owner-operators, causing significant financial harm.

[FreightWaves @FreightWaves]

Is your driving style secretly burning through your trucking company's profits? Mike Roeth, Executive Director of NACFE, discusses why every single time you hit the brakes, it costs you a significant amount of money.

When you brake, you have to burn a lot of fuel to get a 50,000 to 80,000-pound load back up to cruising speed. Every brake event should be treated as money coming directly out of your wallet, which is why maintaining a safe speed and a good following distance is crucial.

[FreightWaves @FreightWaves]

Why do so many trucking companies get hit with a $15,000 penalty when they try to switch factoring providers? The truth is, legit owner-operators are often tricked into signing long-term contracts with auto-renewals hidden deep within a 12-page document.

Brett Schroeder, Chief Sales Officer at Apex Capital, breaks down this common red flag, explaining that many carriers don't even realize they have a contract until they try to leave and are slapped with an early termination fee.

[FreightWaves @FreightWaves]

On Brake Check, Mike Roeth, Executive Director of NACFE, critiques the mindset that driving slower and maintaining cautious following distances hurts a driver's ability to make money.

He explains that every time you tap the brakes, you are burning through your fuel budget because it takes a massive amount of diesel to get a heavy load back up to speed.

[FreightWaves @FreightWaves]

Is your trucking business at risk because one of your brokers is failing?

Brett Shcroeder, Chief Sales Officer at Apex Capital, discusses the hidden value of partnering with a factoring company.

A good factoring company processes thousands of invoices a day, which gives them unique insight into a broker's payment trends and financial health. Even if a broker has an A+ rating on a load board, they might still be struggling with cash flow.

[FreightWaves @FreightWaves]

Have you ever calculated exactly how much money a one MPG improvement could save your fleet?

On Brake Check, Mike Roeth breaks down the numbers and reveals that a 10% gain in fuel efficiency can translate to $10,000 to $15,000 in annual savings.
