The Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse has cause considerable confusion among truckers. We’ll try to clear up some of that confusion with some help from FaLisa McCannon of CMCI, OOIDA’s drug testing consortium. Also, the FMCSA is asking for truckers’ help deciding who is, and who is not a broker. We’ll discuss that – plus controversy over UCR fees and Canada dropping some vaccine requirements. And Atlanta voters recently approved $750 million for infrastructure improvements to address a massive backlog of work. Meanwhile, the Louisiana Legislature has voted to increase transportation funding through electric and hybrid vehicles.
