Podcast: Broker leaves trucker holding the bag
Broker problems continue to plague owner-operators. We’ll discuss one case of that – plus information about reasonable suspicion training and more – with Tom Crowley and Joe Biggs of OOIDA’s Business Services Department.

An organization called Farm Rescue can help. Wisconsin lawmakers are considering whether to establish a grant program to help train more truckers. And Michigan lawmakers have authorized creating high-occupancy vehicle lanes along Interstate 75 in one county.
