We’ll take a look back at both the trends that drove the freight market the last half of 2020 and developments in state legislatures.
I. Today’s news with Terry Scruton
The New Year is bringing new fuel taxes; truck stop owners speak out against a fuel pollution plan; and how not to clear the snow off your driveway.
II. Getting authority not as simple as you may think
Think you’re ready to get your own authority? You may, or you may not. We’ll go over what’s really involved, and why you need to think it through.
III. Freight trends in 2020
The last half of the year has been a crazy one for trucking; we’ll examine some of the trends that have shaped the market.
IV. 2020 action in state legislatures
Many transportation-related issues got put on the back burner this year because of the pandemic, but some trends started to develop in statehouses across the country.
