Project targeting I-5 bottleneck faces problems
A highway project in Oregon was designed to do several things – among them, adding a lane to one of the country’s most notable highway bottlenecks. But the project has become mired in various problems – and is entangled in another debate in Oregon, on reform of the state’s weight-mile tax. State Representative Shelly Boshart Davis updates us on both.
Fixing errors in your record
What truckers do while out on the road is tracked in many different ways. Several different government and private systems collect various information, with government systems working off inspections and tickets, while private systems use information from motor carriers. But some truckers think some of that information is inaccurate – and they want it changed. Alex Clark and David Grimes of CDL Legal share how to do that.
