You may have seen headlines about a 10% jump in positive drug test results submitted to FMCSA’s Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. But that’s not the full story. Also, we’ll also have the latest on the Canadian protests against vaccine mandates, as well as a U.S. convoy that has now announced a start date. Normally, things are pretty slow on the spot market this time of year, but we do not live in normal times. Stephen Petit of DAT tells us what’s different about 2022 so far. And a presidential nomination that’s normally of little interest in trucking has the potential this time to be a very big deal indeed.

Our coverage of the blockades and protests in Canada continues, with updates on the situation at the Ambassador Bridge, some restrictions being lifted and the U.S. convoy that’s now taking shape.
