Your Trucking Company Is One Click Away From Disaster (Here's How to Stop It) | Brake Check
Description
Every trucking company is buying more technology.
The question is...is it actually making your business stronger or creating new ways to lose money?
In this episode of Brake Check, we tackle the two biggest technology battles every carrier faces today:
- Hiring qualified drivers before the competition gets them.
- Protecting your business from freight fraud, cyberattacks, and costly IT failures.
Steve Brown from Tenstreet breaks down how AI, automation, and smarter recruiting are changing driver hiring—and where technology still needs a human touch.
Then Jake Persofsky, Founder of Insperia, explains why so many carriers are one cyberattack, ransomware event, or freight fraud scheme away from operational disaster and what you can do today to protect your business.
Inside this episode:
- The fastest way to reduce time-to-hire
- Where carriers lose the best drivers
- AI recruiting: what's real and what's hype
- The biggest freight fraud threats in 2026
- Cybersecurity mistakes almost every fleet makes
- The technology every trucking company should invest in before the market turns
- How to modernize your operation without breaking what already works
