For several years, trucking industry interests in Missouri have pushed a bill to reform large truck towing. And for years, the governor has blocked that measure from becoming law. Also, the OOIDA Mary Johnston Scholarship has helped more than 120 students further their education in trade schools, community colleges and four-year universities. And there are as many different types of violations as there are regulations in the books. However, some come up more commonly than others. We’ll discuss some of the violations coming up right now with Alex Clark and David Grimes of CDL Legal.
