In this episode of Nemo Nation, Dave Nemo and Jimmy Mac sit down with Rico Muhammad—owner of Crescent Carriers LLC and co-host of the Rates and Lanes Podcast—to talk all things trucking, freight, and real-world strategy for independent carriers.

With more than a decade of experience running his own trucking company and over 10 years behind the mic, Rico brings no-nonsense advice, data-backed insight, and a deep passion for empowering small fleets and owner-operators.

He breaks down how market conditions are affecting rates and lanes today, the biggest mistakes small carriers make, and what it takes to survive and thrive in the modern trucking landscape.
