A new analysis from the American Transportation Research Institute lays out just how difficult it will be for California to go electric. Also, lawmakers are calling out the rampant problem of broker fraud in the trucking industry. We’ll cover that and more in our latest Land Line Roundtable. And a passion for trucks paired with a talent behind a camera led Chris Fiffie to create Big Rig Videos. We recently spoke with him about how he got started, his experience behind the wheel and how he’s found success doing what he once considered a dream job.
