  The Trucking Industry We Deserve: Hard Truths with Charles Gracey

  Jun 30, 202641 min

  The trucking industry talks a lot about supporting drivers. Charles Gracey wants to know why so few back it up. Christy and Rocco sit down with the host of SiriusXM's "Trucking Sense" and FreightwaveTV's "Brake Check". A former driver and long-time trucking professional, Gracey has spent his career pushing the industry to do better by its drivers. The conversation covers predatory pay practices, where association advocacy falls short, and the true difficulties drivers face every day. But it's not all negative, Charles closes with a challenge: stop fixating only on what's broken and start telling the stories of what's working. An honest look at where trucking is falling short, and what it would take to close the gap. Carrier Code is sponsored by Drivers Legal Plan, CDL ticket defense for professional drivers.
