The national freight market may look flat—but underneath the averages, major legal, regulatory, and regional shifts are reshaping capacity. In this episode of *The Transfix Take*, Jenni Ruiz and NFI…

But for those of you who don't remember, this was someone that was an FMCSA authorized entity and that holding a broker vicariously liable.
I mean, just over the weekend, I think there was an abrupt following of a revocation of about 25,000 Mexican driver visas.
I mean, this is all for broker enforcement, tender rejections and spot rate for U.S. to Mexico.
Yeah, I mean, it's been very challenging, right? You're hitting on a couple of the key issues we've been facing this past year.
