Higher oil prices mean higher prices at the pumps, and that’s the forecast for the rest of the year. A senior marketing analyst with the U.S. Energy Information Administration joins us to talk about predictions in this month’s short-term energy outlook. Also, in an effort to unite the community of African American women and women of color within the trucking industry, an association was formed. We recently spoke with the president and co-founder of the African American Women in Trucking Association. And a coalition of two dozen trucking stakeholders is urging lawmakers to move the Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act to the House floor for consideration.
