A U.S. Army veteran who drove in the service took it upon herself to feed hungry truckers stranded in Mississippi by recent winter weather.
I. Today’s news with Terry Scruton
Winter weather comes to the Pacific Northwest. New border requirements are in place in Canada. And “Bed, Breakfast and Buffalo Bill.”
II. Vet feeds truckers stranded by winter weather
From a U.S. Army veteran who took it upon herself to feed hungry truckers stranded in Mississippi by winter weather, and the truck stop in Kentucky getting national recognition for all the right reasons – to a mobile exhibit that pays respect to those who gave their lives for their country, truckers are carrying out or honoring service.
III. Insurance when hauling vehicles
Hauling vehicles means increased risk, and that you should be prepared to answer a bunch of questions when seeking coverage. We’ll explain what to expect – and explain what questions you should be asking.
IV. Working to fix towing woes
An effort to reign in the worst of the bad operators in towing is moving forward in Missouri, as well as in other states. The main target? Non-consensual (or police-dispatched) tows.
