Me explaining to insurers and policymakers that 32 connected trucking companies claim 32 trucks, but are running 7,200 VINs across 10,000 plates, many of them expired temp tags while legit carriers struggle.
Them: "Who owns them doesn't matter."
Who owns them is the whole thing! If it walk and talks and acts like a duck it's a duck. – at Grapevine, TX
Having your AI scour the Internet for fishy links to report to the authorities is the type of "I know just enough about AI to get myself hurt" vibes I've been worried about for years.
Today makes 5 years. Now time to double it. And then double it again. 🥰

Throwback to when I flew for the first time with my fursuit. I was lucky to meet a very friendly crew. 😁✈️ I was on the captain's seat of TAP's A320-200 CS-TNK 🤩
Here's a fun lesson I teach my new employees around this time of year.
When shipping unfinished metal parts why do you need to make sure to protect the parts from the cold?
Since the Bigfoot video was proven to be a hoax we're looking for videos of the ever elusive Big Fox.
A Dallas County Court has entered final judgment in Lipe v. Lupus Superior, et al. confirming a $604,025,000 award arising from a March 2021 multi-vehicle crash in Mississippi.
We knew this meteor was coming.
The judgment incorporates the jury’s findings that driver Gorgonio Gonzalez, motor carrier Lupus Superior, and broker C.H. Robinson were all negligent (45%, 32%, and 23% respectively). What caught my attention was that the jury also found that Gonzalez was acting as a borrowed employee of C.H. Robinson and was operating the truck in furtherance of a mission for the broker’s benefit, subject to its control over the details of the work.
On those findings, the court held C.H. Robinson vicariously liable for Gonzalez’s 45% share. Combined with its own 23% direct negligence, this raises C.H. Robinson’s total responsibility to 68%. Because that figure exceeds 50%, Texas law makes the broker jointly and severally liable for the entire recoverable damages award.
And what about those damages?
The judgment awards roughly $451.5 million in past damages and $152.5 million in future damages, plus approximately $107.5 million in prejudgment interest at 6.75% running from March 31, 2023. Post-judgment interest continues at the same rate. The order is final and appealable. The central feature of the judgment is the borrowed-employee and control findings. They convert a 23% direct-liability allocation into full joint-and-several exposure for the $604 million award, independent of any separate negligent-hiring theory.
Freight doesn’t stop, but neither does post-judgment interest.
