What does 2023 have in store for people with a vested interest in the trucking industry? Jami Jones and Mark Schremmer help us break down the issues that are likely to hit the headlines this coming year. Also, 2022 has been a busy year for trucking issues, but 2023 is likely to be just as busy, with a number of hot-button issues on the agenda. We’ll discuss what some of the top priorities are. And how do you make it easier for truckers to contact their lawmakers about legislation that impacts them? Several years back, OOIDA tackled that very problem.

In the early days of OOIDA, the Association made a decision: Only truckers would be allowed on its board of directors. Lewie Pugh of OOIDA and Jami Jones of Land Line Magazine reflect on the decision as part of our ongoing series celebrating OOIDA’s 50th anniversary.
