OOIDA is once again urging the FMCSA to take action on broker transparency. We’ll discuss that – plus the latest on FMCSA pre-emption of meal and rest breaks in two states – with OOIDA Director of Federal Affairs Jay Grimes. Also, a transport company recently stepped up to help deliver parts for a project to assemble a C47 at Camp Toccoa in Currahee, Georgia. And dating back to the mid-‘90s, several decisions were made that sought to open up the U.S. southern border to Mexico-based motor carriers. The effort ultimately failed – and OOIDA can be thanked for that.

OOIDA is keeping up its pressure on FMCSA to do something about broker fraud. A truck driver helps save children from human traffickers. And an autonomous vehicle in California meets its match in the form of wet concrete.

Delivering an airplane, one part at a time
A transport company recently stepped up to help deliver parts for a project to assemble a C47 at Camp Toccoa in Currahee, Georgia. We’ll speak with the woman who coordinated the effort and discuss how the generosity of the trucking community came together to make this delivery happen.
The effort to stop cross-border trucking with Mexico
Dating back to the mid-‘90s, several decisions were made that sought to open up the U.S. southern border to Mexico-based motor carriers. The results would have been devastating for U.S. carriers, but the effort ultimately failed. OOIDA can be thanked for that. In celebration of the Association’s 50th anniversary, we commemorate the accomplishment with the help of Chief Operating Officer Rod Nofziger, who was on the frontlines of the battle that spanned some two decades and three U.S. presidents.
