Dylan Admire rejoins the show to give some updates regarding his ongoing legal battle with brokerage goliath WWEX Group which includes GlobalTranz. Dylan's company Freight Essentials was wrongfully terminated from agency, and his customers were lied to about it. WWEX Group fought tooth and nail to redact a lot of evidence, but thanks to astute journalist Kelly Barner, she did some digging. "Wading through documents riddled with redactions is frustrating, but one recent filing manages to run 266 pages without a single redaction. There are quite a few examples where past redacted information seems to be revealed in this newer filing." In this episode Dylan breaks down exactly how much deeper this case goes, and how the agency model in brokerage is actually putting unnecessary costs onto carriers and consumers. Need truck parking?
