Podcast: Tackling the broker fraud issue

June 5, 2023

|

The issue of broker fraud has reached epidemic proportions in the trucking industry – and some people in Washington are taking notice. Meanwhile, an effort in California would require drivers in autonomous trucks. Also, this month, Land Line Magazine took a closer look at efforts in Washington to get more truck parking, restroom access and better detention time pay. And a trucking center located at I-70 and U.S. 40 in Illinois offers truck drivers a safe place to stop and park. We recently spoke with the director of Road Angel Truckers Center to find out what else the 24-hour facility offers.
