Marty Ellis has been hearing about speed limiters. That includes the FMCSA’s possible push to mandate the devices in all trucks, as well as the problems they can potentially cause. Also, truck parking and overtime pay continue to make headlines, and OOIDA’s lending a voice to those stories. We’ll discuss those topics with our Government Affairs staff, and sit down with OOIDA’s chief operating officer to learn more about him and his role at the association. And expanding mandates for ELDs and imposing them for unique electronic identifiers are both part of our Land Line roundtable with Jami Jones of Land Line Magazine.

That’s one part of our Land Line roundtable talk with Jami Jones of Land Line Magazine. And Jami brought a prop to show that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
