From Overdrive editor Todd Dills This week in Overdrive Radio, a sitdown with Tennessee Highway Patrol Lieutenant Christopher Brooks I recorded during the first day of Roadcheck in May. You may have heard parts of the conversation in the video two weeks back that centered on one of Roadcheck’s primary focus areas in remote electronic-logging-device manipulation, chameleon carriers and all that’s happening at federal and state levels to target bad actors in that regard.

From Overdrive editor Matt Cole May seasonal expectations largely met in broad used-truck market Market-research services’ indices all showed some pricing softness in used markets in May, compared to the prior month.

This year’s Operation Safe Driver Week is scheduled for July 12-18, during which both commercial and passenger vehicle drivers seen driving in violation of rules will be pulled over by law enforcement personnel and issued a warning or ticket/citation.

Executive Summary Titan Attachments, part of the Titan Brands family, was growing fast—but their marketing team wasn’t. With limited internal resources, scaling demand generation without adding headcount felt like a tradeoff they couldn’t avoid. Instead of hiring, Titan made a different move.

During Roadcheck 2026, Overdrive headed out to a Tennessee inspection station in Giles County on I-65 to see firsthand how troopers are hunting “chameleon carriers” and combating electronic logging device tampering, shown in prior reporting in use by such carriers. The three-day enforcement surge had that new ELD tampering target on the radar: a sophisticated hack that relies on backend software, sometimes in concert with ELD providers themselves, to retroactively alter logs in real time.
