New hours of service go into effect


I. Today’s news with Terry Scruton

OOIDA says NHTSA needs to keep a close eye on Tesla; protesters shut down I-94 in Minnesota; and she’s a black magic woman.


II. OOIDA supports hours of service pilot program

OOIDA has stepped up to support a pilot program testing a break that would stop the 14-hour on-duty clock, while the FMCSA seeks nominations for an advisory board and another pilot program tests under-age-21 drivers.


III. Down-ballot races; state issues

Tuesday wasn’t just about the presidency. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of other so-called “down-ballot” races were decided – as well as many local transportation issues.


IV. A record for remote inspections

Inspectors have set a record this year – the most remote, off-site audits of carriers ever – meanwhile, we’ll offer some insight into what a new Biden administration might do if the election ends up going that way.
