Clean truck effort causes confusion in Oregon
There’s been quite a bit of confusion in Oregon this week. At first, Daimler Truck told truck dealers in the state that it was pausing all sales of internal combustion engine trucks, likely in response to new Advanced Clean Trucks requirements. But the company has since changed course. Tyson Fisher of Land Line Magazine visits Land Line Now to explain why, what led to the confusion and what happens next.
Author hopes book will educate children about trucking
An effort to teach children about life on the road led a woman to create a children’s book about trucking. Land Line Now speaks with her regarding how a trucking dog inspired the story of this new book.
