I. Today’s news with Scott Thompson

FMCSA official fields questions at town hall at the Guilty By Association Truck Show. A man caught on video catching free rides on trucks in Georgia could get a free ride to jail. And a suspect who tried to get a leg up on his victim before the long arm of the law caught up with him.

Today at the Guilty By Association Truck Show, OOIDA is holding a town hall for truckers that includes Joe DeLorenzo of FMCSA, who is there to answer truckers’ questions and listen to their comments. We’ll have some highlights.
