Dealing successfully with brokers
Education has become an important and growing part of the Mid-America Trucking Show. As part of that, OOIDA brought a section of its Truck to Success course covering brokers, led by Gary Wright of OOIDA’s Business Services Department. We’ll bring you some highlights. Also, the first quarter of 2023 is in the books, and the numbers are in on how it went. We’ll have the latest in today’s Market Update with Stephen Petit of DAT. And Marty Ellis is hearing about something many of us thought would eventually happen – an interesting way some less-than-reputable carriers are using ELDs to get around the hours of service regulations.
