The Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act passes out of a U.S. House committee and heads to the House floor after an overwhelming “yes” vote. Also, we’ll speak with a licensed therapist about her specialized approach to offering counselling services to men and women behind the wheel. Load posts last week were the third highest in 2023. DAT breaks down the numbers and talks about the impact CVSA’s International Roadcheck had on the spot market in today’s Market Update. And Marty Ellis discusses how many trucking companies have dropped out of the industry as a result of recent economic conditions, and some carriers that have found a way to help retain drivers by giving them a piece of the pie.
