The newly formed Advisory Committee on Underride Protections recently met for the first time. We recap the inaugural meeting, during which both sides of the issue made their respective cases, as NHTSA considers a side underride mandate for trailers.

Today we look at some tips for what you should look for when it comes to coverage, and some questions to ask about your policy. And spot rates are relatively stable as we head into June. We’ll have the latest details on the spot market and a couple lanes that worth watching this week in today’s Market Update with DAT.
