A new report from the American Transportation Research Institute sheds some new light on just how bad predatory towing has become – and shares some eye-opening statistics. Also, Land Line Magazine’s Mark Schremmer reports on his conversation with FMCSA Administrator Robin Hutcheson and breaks down a session that let truck drivers speak their mind through a proxy. And as a token of thanks for the help Boston provided back in 1917 during the Halifax explosion, Nova Scotia gifts a Christmas tree to the city every year. We speak with the driver of the tree about this annual act of gratitude and decades-old tradition.
