Cargo theft is on the rise. We’re joined by Keith Lewis, V.P. of operations for CargoNet, to talk about what thieves are targeting, how they’re going about it, and how to protect yourself and your haul. Also, we’ve established that there’s federal money out there that could be used for truck parking – so what’s the holdup? Tyson Fisher of Land Line Magazine stops by to clear up some confusion about federal grants and why states aren’t jumping at the chance to use them. And one thing from the old days is very much needed now – a little road etiquette. And Marty Ellis has a few thoughts on the topic. I’ll talk with the man who drives the Spirit of the American Trucker.

And Marty Ellis has a few thoughts on the topic. I’ll talk with the man who drives the Spirit of the American Trucker.
