We’ll hear from Missouri’s DOT commercial motor vehicle program manager on today’s show. She recently spoke with us about her role, and the efforts underway to make Missouri’s roads as safe as possible. Also, from a trucker reunited with his dog, to states with the worst truck parking availability, we’ll tell you who in recent news has been good – and who’s been bad – with some Roses and Razzberries. And plenty of people in trucking love the look of the classic long-nosed conventional semi. And they are beautiful machines. But for years, we’ve all heard over and over that they’re going away – and then they come back for another round.
