Also, we’ll have a roundtable discussion to analyze the latest attempt at increasing a motor carrier’s minimum liability insurance, to break down a new broker rule and more. The Truck Leasing Task Force held its third meeting this week, and talks centered on a very important question: Is the lease-purchase model even worth saving?
