CVSA’s annual International Roadcheck safety blitz starts Tuesday. We’ll find out what you need to know, and get some advice on one of the most common violations. Also, getting insurance through your motor carrier may not give you all the coverage you need. Trista Roby and Trina Skywalker with OOIDA’s Truck Insurance Department discuss the questions you should be asking and the coverage you should be getting. And OOIDA wants truckers to have more time to express their views on the proposed speed limiter rule; meanwhile, time is running out to comment on the EPA’s effort to further tighten emissions standards for large trucks.
