Podcast: Email scam phishes truckers for information
Another email scam aims to get personal information through phishing – and it’s just one of many ways bad actors target truckers. Also, from a trucker stepping up to fulfill a child’s dream to a trucker with a lame excuse for a bad incident, Land Line Now brings you some Roses and Razzberries. And artists are giving an infamous truck-eating bridge in Kansas City, Mo., a new look. One of them joins us to talk about the project.

Turning a truck-eating bridge into art
An infamous truck-eating bridge in Kansas City, Mo., is getting a makeover. Four new murals are being used to spruce up the area – and in turn, hopefully to prevent truckers from trying to fit their semis under the low-clearance bridge.
