Podcast: OOIDA spots problems in FMCSA’s proposed CDL changes
Is FMCSA going to make it easier, maybe even too easy, to get a CDL? Or is the agency simply making the process more efficient? OOIDA has some concerns. Also, a woman who operates one of the biggest pieces of equipment in the world is sharing her story of overcoming life’s challenges. And Marty Ellis is set up at one of California’s busier truck stops, where he’s hearing from drivers who are worried about other drivers. A lot of it seems spurred by the generation gap we’re all experiencing.
