Last chance to speak out on broker transparency
It’s deadline day for comments on an FMCSA proposal that would add some transparency to the brokerage industry. The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Associations submitted its comments in support of the proposal early Tuesday morning. Mark Schremmer of Land Line Magazine joins Land Line Now to discuss what happens next – and how you can submit your thoughts while you still have time.
Bridge would allow wildlife to cross busy interstate
A lot of things can mess up your truck while you’re on the road, but one of the biggest is when your truck hits a large animal. For years, officials have looked for ways to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. And some think they’ve found a solution – one that’s playing out in Oregon, where a wildlife crossing is being constructed across Interstate 5. Land Line Now discusses this with Dan Roberts of the Oregon Department of Transportation.
