The U.S. immigration crackdown is about to cripple the supply chain. This week on Sense Per Mile, we break down the logistics: fewer essential immigrant workers means the driver shortage will explode. This forces desperate carriers to rush hiring, drives up operating costs, and will drastically increase insurance rates. We expose the policy domino effect and what this means for every paycheck, every company's bottom line, and the stability of freight across the nation.

 This week on Sense Per Mile, we tackle the single most dangerous financial question in trucking: Are you a legal W-2 employee or a true 1099 owner-operator? We expose the "control test," the hidden tax bombs of self-employment, and the brutal audits that crush carriers and drivers when a company uses 1099s to mask a full-time employee. Stop getting screwed—we break down the legal line you can't cross and show you who is really driving your truck and controlling your cash flow. Get the facts before the IRS comes knocking.
