A proposal to require automatic emergency braking systems on heavy vehicles published earlier today. We’ll discuss that – plus an agency within the U.S. DOT asking for input regarding hazardous material regulations – with OOIDA Director of Federal Affairs Jay Grimes. Also, a 300-ton kiln made its way from Italy to Arkansas recently. We’ll talk with one man behind the mechanics of moving this 60-thousand-pound load to a hazardous waste company in Arkansas. And eight states have made changes to their fuel taxes; meanwhile, California has put new rules in effect intended to combat price gouging on fuel.
