ENGLISH ONLY?! UPS Layoffs, Tariffs and What Drivers Need to Know | The Rig on Wheels Show featuring MVT#EPISODE93

This week on The Rig on Wheels Show featuring MVT, we’re unpacking major shakeups in trucking—from UPS laying off 12,000 workers and slashing Amazon freight, to Trump’s push for English-only drivers and how tariffs are draining profits across the board.

Host Kameel E. Gaines, CEO of Rig on Wheels and creator of the upcoming Driver Magnet Kit™, is joined by MVT’s top recruiters Josue Fierro and Robert Rubalcaba to break down what these changes mean for drivers, recruiters, and the industry as a whole.

You’ll hear about:

• UPS pulling back from Amazon: what it really means

• How Trump’s new trucking policy targets immigrant drivers

• The truth about tariffs, cost-of-living increases, and retail slowdowns

• Why small carriers are getting crushed—and how to stay competitive

• Hiring tips to help drivers and recruiters win in a changing market
