I. Today’s news with Terry Scruton
A new highway bill proposal has some good news – but mostly bad news – for truckers; OOIDA would like the DOT to take a closer look at a bunch of burdensome regulations; and a sign of summer on Smugglers’ Notch.
II. Roses and Razzberries
From an unnamed trucker who saved a woman from a bad situation to members of Congress who still just don’t get it, Roses and Razzberries takes a look at who’s been good and who’s been bad.
III. Spirit at the ATHS show
The OOIDA tour truck is in good company this weekend at the American Truck Historical Society show.
IV. Highway bill analysis
We finally know what’s inside the House highway bill, and as expected, it’s full of poison pills – but there was one pleasant surprise inside.
