Land Line Now presents its annual Thanksgiving Special – including a short story about truckers, “Something for Stevie” by Dan Anderson.
I. Today’s news with Terry Scruton
New definitions for ag haulers go into effect in December; Sensitech warns of heightened risk of cargo theft this weekend; and, whatever you do, don’t let the moose lick your car.
II. ‘Something for Stevie’
For several years now, each Thanksgiving, Land Line Now has brought you a very special gift from all of us – a reading of a short story about truckers, “Something for Stevie,” by author Dan Anderson. Today, we’ll offer up our annual holiday treat to you once again.
III. Living to tell the tale
An OOIDA member gets hit by a truck – and lives to tell the tale, while another truck driver describes helping bring an Amber Alert to a peaceful end. We’ll report on Utah officials who have taken aim at a notoriously dangerous stretch of highway with a new type of escape ramp.
IV. Truckers step up
It’s been a rough year for everyone. But truckers have stepped up not only to keep the country moving, but also to speak out on important industry issues.
