Podcast: Trucking issues tied up in government funding battle
Congress narrowly averted a government shutdown in a recent vote, but a longer-term problem remains. We’ll discuss what’s happening with government funding and how it could affect some important trucking issues. Also, the holiday season is upon us, and for some it can be a difficult time. We recently spoke with a licensed therapist about ways to handle the holidays for both drivers and their families. And alternatives do exist for both testing and treatment of sleep apnea. Dr. Kent Smith, an expert in the use of dental appliances to treat the condition, joins the program to explain what’s available.
