OOIDA is asking the FMCSA to respond to a petition from more than two years ago regarding broker transparency, a fee paid by hazmat haulers may be increasing, and FMCSA may require trucks to have electronic identification technology onboard. Also, a program in Wisconsin is encouraging refugees to consider a career in trucking. We’ll speak with the director of truck driving programs at Fox Valley Technical College about this new training opportunity. And we’re only a few weeks away from the November election. We’ll go over the basics of voter registration – as well as a series of road-related ballot measures in California.
